🎨 Lots of Cool Ways to Use V-Express
You can use V-Express in different ways:
- Same Person, Different Scene : Make a talking video that looks like a given video of the same person in a different place.
- Still Photo + Audio : Create a video where the person in a still photo talks using any audio you provide.
- Mix and Match : Make a video where one person’s movements match another person’s video, and their lips sync with the audio.
🛠️ 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.
