I am doing some deepfakes in faceswap.dev. I want to have only the new face without the head its connected to. I got the suggestion to use openCV writer with the “draw transparent” plugin configurating setting. Can someone here help me with this? openCV is all new to me. ---

Thanx for reply, I can have missunderstod this, mayby this option is for the Pillow software. The openCV was also suggested but I got no info on how to do this more specifically. I have a clip with a head with a new face, I want to have only the new face without the head. Do you now how to do this? The person suggesting openCV on the faceswap forum is competent as far as I know. ---

it’s prolly [one of those](https://github.com/deepfakes/faceswap/tree/c900036a4ecbb77ee4ef7e0fa12abe77d117a5b0/plugins/convert/writer) unfortunately your problem is not about programming with opencv, but how to use that faceswap program, and we cant help much. ---

Thanx again, I think I need to use openCV for this, its not an issue with faceswap, but I am going to get more info from the faceswap forum so I can explain better. What I want to do is not included in faceswap, it has to be done outside as I understand. ---

I start to think you are right, its a part of faceswap that is used, this will simplify a lot for me, thanx again. ---
