# Multi-person face swap checklist (up to 6 faces)
Swapping one face is forgiving. Swapping a whole group in a face swap video fails when any single portrait is weak. Use this checklist before you upload.
Contents
# 1. Count and label roles
Decide who maps to which on-screen person. Keep a simple list (left to right, or by costume) so you do not mix uploads.
# 2. Same-session lighting when possible
Group swaps look most natural when every source face was shot under similar light. Mixing a studio headshot with a nightclub selfie usually shows.
# 3. Similar focal length / distance
Extreme wide selfies next to telephoto portraits create mismatched facial proportions after the swap. Prefer comparable framing.
# 4. Occlusion audit
Hats, mics, hands, and hair across eyes break tracking. Either re-shoot or pick alternate stills for those roles.
# 5. Preview one face, then scale
Run a single-face test first. Only after that looks stable, load the full multi-person set (tools that support up to 6 faces save a lot of rework here).
# Tool note
