**[github](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)** **[huggingface](https://huggingface.co/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)** **[space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/TMElyralab/MuseTalk)** **[Technical report](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.10122)**
We introduce `MuseTalk`, a **real-time high quality** lip-syncing model (30fps+ on an NVIDIA Tesla V100). MuseTalk can be applied with input videos, e.g., generated by [MuseV](https://github.com/TMElyralab/MuseV), as a complete virtual human solution.
## Updates
We're excited to unveil MuseTalk 1.5.
This version **(1)** integrates training with perceptual loss, GAN loss, and sync loss, significantly boosting its overall performance. **(2)** We've implemented a two-stage training strategy and a spatio-temporal data sampling approach to strike a balance between visual quality and lip-sync accuracy.
Learn more details [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.10122).
**The inference codes, training codes and model weights of MuseTalk 1.5 are all available now!**
# Overview
`MuseTalk` is a real-time high quality audio-driven lip-syncing model trained in the latent space of `ft-mse-vae`, which
1. modifies an unseen face according to the input audio, with a size of face region of `256 x 256`.
1. supports audio in various languages, such as Chinese, English, and Japanese.
1. supports real-time inference with 30fps+ on an NVIDIA Tesla V100.
1. supports modification of the center point of the face region proposes, which **SIGNIFICANTLY** affects generation results.
1. checkpoint available trained on the HDTF and private dataset.

## Model
MuseTalk was trained in latent spaces, where the images were encoded by a freezed VAE. The audio was encoded by a freezed `whisper-tiny` model. The architecture of the generation network was borrowed from the UNet of the `stable-diffusion-v1-4`, where the audio embeddings were fused to the image embeddings by cross-attention.
Note that although we use a very similar architecture as Stable Diffusion, MuseTalk is distinct in that it is **NOT** a diffusion model. Instead, MuseTalk operates by inpainting in the latent space with a single step.

# Getting Started
We provide a detailed tutorial about the installation and the basic usage of MuseTalk for new users:
## Third party integration
Thanks for the third-party integration, which makes installation and use more convenient for everyone.
We also hope you note that we have not verified, maintained, or updated third-party. Please refer to this project for specific results.
### [ComfyUI](https://github.com/chaojie/ComfyUI-MuseTalk)
## Installation
To prepare the Python environment and install additional packages such as opencv, diffusers, mmcv, etc., please follow the steps below:
### Build environment
We recommend Python 3.10 and CUDA 11.7. Set up your environment as follows:
```shell
conda create -n MuseTalk python==3.10
conda activate MuseTalk
```
### Install PyTorch 2.0.1
Choose one of the following installation methods:
```shell
# Option 1: Using pip
pip install torch==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.2 torchaudio==2.0.2 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
# Option 2: Using conda
conda install pytorch==2.0.1 torchvision==0.15.2 torchaudio==2.0.2 pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia
```
### Install Dependencies
Install the remaining required packages:
```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Install MMLab Packages
Install the MMLab ecosystem packages:
```bash
pip install --no-cache-dir -U openmim
mim install mmengine
mim install "mmcv==2.0.1"
mim install "mmdet==3.1.0"
mim install "mmpose==1.1.0"
```
### Setup FFmpeg
1. [Download](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases) the ffmpeg-static package
2. Configure FFmpeg based on your operating system:
For Linux:
```bash
export FFMPEG_PATH=/path/to/ffmpeg
# Example:
export FFMPEG_PATH=/musetalk/ffmpeg-4.4-amd64-static
```
For Windows:
Add the `ffmpeg-xxx\bin` directory to your system's PATH environment variable. Verify the installation by running `ffmpeg -version` in the command prompt - it should display the ffmpeg version information.
### Download weights
You can download weights in two ways:
#### Option 1: Using Download Scripts
We provide two scripts for automatic downloading:
For Linux:
```bash
sh ./download_weights.sh
```
For Windows:
```batch
# Run the script
download_weights.bat
```
#### Option 2: Manual Download
You can also download the weights manually from the following links:
1. Download our trained [weights](https://huggingface.co/TMElyralab/MuseTalk/tree/main)
2. Download the weights of other components:
- [sd-vae-ft-mse](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse/tree/main)
- [whisper](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny/tree/main)
- [dwpose](https://huggingface.co/yzd-v/DWPose/tree/main)
- [syncnet](https://huggingface.co/ByteDance/LatentSync/tree/main)
- [face-parse-bisent](https://drive.google.com/file/d/154JgKpzCPW82qINcVieuPH3fZ2e0P812/view?pli=1)
- [resnet18](https://download.pytorch.org/models/resnet18-5c106cde.pth)
Finally, these weights should be organized in `models` as follows:
```
./models/
├── musetalk
│ └── musetalk.json
│ └── pytorch_model.bin
├── musetalkV15
│ └── musetalk.json

```
## Quickstart
### Inference
We provide inference scripts for both versions of MuseTalk:
#### Prerequisites
Before running inference, please ensure ffmpeg is installed and accessible:
```bash
# Check ffmpeg installation
ffmpeg -version
```
If ffmpeg is not found, please install it first:
- Windows: Download from [ffmpeg-static](https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases) and add to PATH
- Linux: `sudo apt-get install ffmpeg`
#### Normal Inference
##### Linux Environment
```bash
# MuseTalk 1.5 (Recommended)
sh inference.sh v1.5 normal
# MuseTalk 1.0
sh inference.sh v1.0 normal
```
##### Windows Environment
Please ensure that you set the `ffmpeg_path` to match the actual location of your FFmpeg installation.
```bash
# MuseTalk 1.5 (Recommended)
python -m scripts.inference --inference_config configs\inference\test.yaml --result_dir results\test --unet_model_path models\musetalkV15\\unet.pth --unet_config models\musetalkV15\musetalk.json --version v15 --ffmpeg_path ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl-shared\bin
# For MuseTalk 1.0, change:
# - models\musetalkV15 -> models\musetalk
# - unet.pth -> pytorch_model.bin
# - --version v15 -> --version v1
```
#### Real-time Inference
##### Linux Environment
```bash
# MuseTalk 1.5 (Recommended)
sh inference.sh v1.5 realtime
# MuseTalk 1.0
sh inference.sh v1.0 realtime
```
##### Windows Environment
```bash
# MuseTalk 1.5 (Recommended)
python -m scripts.realtime_inference --inference_config configs\inference\realtime.yaml --result_dir results\realtime --unet_model_path models\musetalkV15\\unet.pth --unet_config models\musetalkV15\musetalk.json --version v15 --fps 25 --ffmpeg_path ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl-shared\bin
# For MuseTalk 1.0, change:
# - models\musetalkV15 -> models\musetalk
# - unet.pth -> pytorch_model.bin
# - --version v15 -> --version v1
```
The configuration file `configs/inference/test.yaml` contains the inference settings, including:
- `video_path`: Path to the input video, image file, or directory of images
- `audio_path`: Path to the input audio file
Note: For optimal results, we recommend using input videos with 25fps, which is the same fps used during model training. If your video has a lower frame rate, you can use frame interpolation or convert it to 25fps using ffmpeg.
Important notes for real-time inference:
1. Set `preparation` to `True` when processing a new avatar
2. After preparation, the avatar will generate videos using audio clips from `audio_clips`
3. The generation process can achieve 30fps+ on an NVIDIA Tesla V100
4. Set `preparation` to `False` for generating more videos with the same avatar
For faster generation without saving images, you can use:
```bash
python -m scripts.realtime_infe
