🛠️ Try V-Express on Replicate
You can easily make your own talking videos with V-Express on Replicate. Here’s what you need:
reference_image: A photo that will be used as the base for the video.driving_audio: An audio clip that will be used to create the talking motion in the video.use_video_audio: If you provide adriving_video, you can choose to use its audio instead of thedriving_audio.driving_video: A video that will be used to create the head motion in the generated video. If not provided, the motion will be based on themotion_modeyou choose.motion_mode: Choose how fast or slow the head motion should be in the video. You can pick from “standard”, “gentle”, “normal”, or “fast”.reference_attention_weight: Decide how much the generated video should look like the reference image. A higher value means it will look more like the photo.audio_attention_weight: Choose how much the video’s motion should match the driving audio. A higher value means the motion will match the audio more closely.num_inference_steps: The number of steps V-Express takes to create the video. More steps usually mean better quality, but it will take longer.image_widthandimage_height: The size of the generated video frames.frames_per_second: The frame rate of the generated video.guidance_scale: A setting that controls how closely the video follows the driving motion and audio. A higher value means it will follow them more closely.num_context_frames,context_stride, andcontext_overlap: Advanced settings for motion estimation. You can leave these at their default values.num_audio_padding_frames: The number of extra audio frames to use at the start and end of the driving audio.seed: A random number that controls the video generation. If you leave it blank, V-Express will pick a random number for you.
