Model overview

The sadtalker-video model, developed by Gaurav Kohli, is a video lip synchronization model that can generate talking head videos from audio input. It builds upon the work of the SadTalker and VideoReTalking models, which focused on audio-driven single image and video talking face animation respectively.

Model inputs and outputs

The sadtalker-video model takes two inputs: an audio file (.wav or .mp4) and a source video file (.mp4). The model can then generate a synchronized talking head video, with the option to enhance the lip region or the entire face. Additionally, the model can use Depth-Aware Video Frame Interpolation (DAIN) to increase the frame rate of the output video, resulting in smoother transitions.

Inputs

Audio Input Path: The path to the audio file (.wav or .mp4) that will drive the lip movements.
Video Input Path: The path to the source video file (.mp4) that will be used as the base for the lip-synced output.
Use DAIN: A boolean flag to enable or disable Depth-Aware Video Frame Interpolation, which can improve the smoothness of the output video.
Enhancer Region: The area of the face to be enhanced, with options for "lip", "face", or "none".
