## 🎨 Info Tooltip Examples

Here are examples of the helpful info text added:

**Face Swapper Model:**
> "Choose the AI model for face swapping. inswapper_128 and blendswap_256 offer the best quality."

**Pixel Boost:**
> "Higher resolution produces better quality but requires more processing time and memory. Use 1024x1024 for best results."

**Execution Providers:**
> "Select hardware acceleration. CUDAExecutionProvider for NVIDIA GPUs, CoreMLExecutionProvider for Apple Silicon, CPUExecutionProvider as fallback."

**Video Preset:**
> "Encoding speed vs file size. ultrafast = quick but large file, slow/slower = best quality & compression, medium = balanced."

**Face Selector Mode:**
> "Choose how to select faces: Reference (track specific face), One (first detected), Many (all faces), or filters by age/gender/race."
