# MuseTalk: Real-Time High-Quality Lip Synchronization
This Hugging Face Space allows you to run MuseTalk for audio-driven lip synchronization experiments.
## About MuseTalk
MuseTalk is a real-time, high-quality audio-driven lip synchronization model that generates realistic lip movements from audio input. It can be applied to videos to create lip-synced content.
## Features
- **Real-time Processing**: Generate lip-synced videos efficiently
- **High Quality**: Produces natural and realistic lip movements
- **Easy to Use**: Simple Gradio interface for quick experimentation
- **Customizable**: Adjust bounding box positions for better results
## How to Use
1. **Upload Video**: Provide an input video file (preferably with a clear face)
2. **Upload Audio**: Provide an audio file with the target speech
3. **Adjust Parameters**: (Optional) Fine-tune the bbox_shift parameter
4. **Generate**: Click the "Generate" button to create your lip-synced video
## Model Information
- **Model Weights**: [TMElyralab/MuseTalk](https://huggingface.co/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)
- **GitHub Repository**: [TMElyralab/MuseTalk](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)
## Requirements
The Space automatically installs all necessary dependencies including:
- PyTorch and Torchvision
- Gradio for the UI
- OpenCV for video processing
- Various ML libraries (transformers, diffusers, etc.)
## Setup Instructions
This Space is configured to:
1. Clone the MuseTalk repository on first run
2. Install all required dependencies from requirements.txt
3. Download necessary model weights automatically
4. Launch the Gradio interface
## Technical Details
**Required Model Components:**
- VAE: sd-vae-ft-mse from Stability AI
- Whisper: For audio processing
- DWPose: For pose estimation
- Face Parsing: For face segmentation
- ResNet18: For feature extraction
## Tips for Best Results
- Use videos with clear, well-lit faces
- Ensure audio quality is good for better lip sync
- Adjust the bbox_shift parameter if the face detection is off-center
- Input videos should ideally be in MP4 format
