[Resource] Google Colab Notebook

Message from moderator torzdf

This is the latest working Colab Notebook provided by the Faceswap community.

The old topic can be found here for reference: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=744

Hello! I was working on a notebook of mine to provide full functionality of Faceswap in the Google Colab just because I feel bad for people that can't wait for the exctract of convert to finish, but is able to run the GUI perfectly fine(or not, if your CPU isn't supporting the AVX instructions(in which case I do feel bad for you))

So, I'll just stop that useless rambling and give away my Colab notebook that I have been working on for a while. It will be updated in case of compability issue or Faceswap bringing out something cool that my current notebook won't be able to run. But for now, the main functionality(and a couple of tools) are present here. Any feedback would be appreciated

Here's the notebook itself. I sure hope you can do something with it, low-end PC/laptop users

I don't use Colab, but if people test this notebook and feedback that it all works well, I will pin it as I have a feeling that the currently pinned notebook is now a little out of date.

Made an account to thank you for the working notebook. Haven't been able find one without errors in a very long time.

Hi,

Started training my model using this free google colab. My question is how do you change the parameters of the trainer (like loss, choice of trainer like adabelief, etc) since you can only change the main ones like iterations, batch size, save every.. etc

BTW its much faster than my videocard lol.

Thanks

Hello! Unfortunately, I was unable to implement the configuration setup yet. I am planning to do so, so please. Stay patient for now.

Thanks for that, you are simply awesome.

Also, why not place Phaze-A on as well since you will be implementing the configuration setup. Im planning to upgrade my free colab to colab pro for faster gpu. Im kinda a laptop guy so ur colab is a great help. Just want my mug to look good on my fav music videos, lol. Or swap my mug on a whole movie

I didn't realize I forgot to put that there. Thanks for the notice. I'll put Phaze-A as one of the choices for the model when I implement the config setup.

I probably shouldn't leave my messages like this, but eh, doesn't matter. Just pushed a really nice update which completely remade the way Faceswap is being installed to Colab and it works flawlessly. It now utilizes Conda for packages. So now, Tensorflow 2.5+ is supported. I've spent the last few weeks figuring this one thing out, and I finally did.

Enjoy, I guess?

Thanks a lot!

It actually worked flawlessly, as you said. Only today I started getting this message when trying to run trainning:

This was down to an update I pushed today not supporting Python 3.7 (the Colab default). I have now fixed this, so hopefully the notebook should be working again now.

I was excited because that's exactly what I thought, that there must have been an update running, affecting Python. However, I'm getting an almost identical error now:

My mistake, I put the imports in the wrong way around. Should work now.
