Alignments do not have to be exact, especially when using a smart mask. In those situations, the alignments are just used to get the face generally upright.

Also note that the default BS of 64 is really only usable for Original on 8gb. For Villain you'll need to adjust that down to your system.

Faceswap cannot do this sort of operation, it's meant for moving one face onto another not to change one face's expression/pose to match an input. To do that, you'll want to examine tasks like re-animation (I suggest the Ganimation implemenation, though there is no trained model available).

Alignments are really not that important, they're used to get the general face and to make one for of mask, but we're already starting to support much more advanced masks.

The best quality will come from manual composition, not manually tweaking close but not quite perfect alignments.

Please try manually selecting the alignment file in the Alignments box and try that way. It may be missing the alignments file when it looks for it.

In the conversion process you include the alignments file for the Video, NOT the face. So if you have the Alice in Wonderland with the faces you want selected, then you'll include that alignment file and no others.

The problem you're seeing is because the driver is not the same as the cuda version. You need to upgrade the graphics driver on your instance to match your cuda version.

See

For a graph matching cuda version to required driver versions.

There is not enough information here to diagnose. Either post the full log and your command or the faceswap.log file from the faceswap folder.

Masks have been available in Faceswap in various ways for a long time. We're just moving into a new type of automatically generated mask than the previous versions. The new one should be more accurate and flexible moving forward.

You only need to merge if you have more than one alignments file that you want to combine. If you've only got the one, you can skip that section. If you have two that you need to join, you just put both files in the alignments textbox with a space separating them.

Use the manual tool only in the last resort. The sort tool will be much faster and more reliable. But if you really need the manual tool, make sure you're in "edit" mode (use the "m" key).

You need to clean your alignments file to make sure that only the faces you want swapped are included. Please see the Extract guide viewtopic.php?f=5&t=27 on doing that.

Does this happen multiple times or was it a one-off? If it's hapenning all the time, can you provide the video that you're using (Post it somewhere and PM the link is fine) so we can see what's happening?

More specifically, you can feel free to change the batch size as you train. Lowering the BS to ₆₄ near the end of training makes sense if you want to see the differences of a smaller BS. It wont hurt to try different values if you want to see how it affects your results.
