Generating and editing a person's face demands high precision, as even minor modifications can significantly alter a subject's perceived identity. Current personalization and editing methods built on general-purpose text-to-image models, however, often lack the precision required for fine-grained facial edits.

Current identity customized video generation methodologies are predominantly limited to single-identity scenarios, as the lack of explicit identity separation mechanisms often leads to identity confusion in multi-identity settings. Existing multi-identity approaches, which directly extend single-identity frameworks by concatenating face images as input conditions, frequently result in unnatural facial expressions and motions, manifesting as the "copy-paste" phenomenon.
Replacing an object with one that differs in category or shape requires complete source removal, natural target formation unconstrained by the source silhouette, and preservation of unrelated content. Existing training-free editors either localize edits from terminal predictions under source and target prompts or preserve unrelated content through spatially unselective source-feature reuse without explicit region discovery.

The paper introduces DirectSwap, a mask‑free video head‑swapping method that leverages a newly created cross‑identity paired dataset, HeadSwapBench. By synthesizing expression‑synchronized video pairs from real footage, the authors provide frame‑aligned ground truth for full‑reference evaluation of identity, expression, pose, reconstruction fidelity, and temporal stability. DirectSwap outperforms traditional same‑identity masked reconstruction, especially when head silhouettes change, and can restore non‑head content without external segmentation.
