Swap faces in a video using AI via the HeyGen API. Use when: (1) Replacing a face in a video with another face, (2) Face swapping from a source image onto a target video, (3) Creating personalized videos by swapping in a person's face, (4) Working with HeyGen's /v1/workflows/executions endpoint for face swap processing.
