Model overview

The video-retalking model, created by maintainer chenxwh, is an AI system that can edit the faces of a real-world talking head video according to input audio, producing a high-quality and lip-synced output video even with a different emotion. This model builds upon previous work like VideoReTalking, Wav2Lip, and GANimation, disentangling the task into three sequential steps: face video generation with a canonical expression, audio-driven lip-sync, and face enhancement for improving photorealism.

Model inputs and outputs

The video-retalking model takes two inputs: a talking-head video file and an audio file. It then outputs a new video file where the face in the original video is lip-synced to the input audio.

Inputs

  • Face: Input video file of a talking-head
  • Input Audio: Input audio file to drive the lip-sync

Outputs

  • Output Video: New video file with the face lip-synced to the input audio

Capabilities

The video-retalking model is capable...
