Introduction 📖

This repo, named LivePortrait, contains the official PyTorch implementation of our paper LivePortrait: Efficient Portrait Animation with Stitching and Retargeting Control. We are actively updating and improving this repository. If you find any bugs or have suggestions, welcome to raise issues or submit pull requests (PR) 💖.

Getting Started 🏁

1. Clone the code and prepare the environment

git clone https://github.com/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait
cd LivePortrait

# create env using conda
conda create -n LivePortrait python==3.9
conda activate LivePortrait

# install dependencies with pip
# for Linux and Windows users
pip install -r requirements.txt
# for macOS with Apple Silicon users
pip install -r requirements_macOS.txt

Note: make sure your system has FFmpeg installed, including both ffmpeg and ffprobe!

2. Download pretrained weights

The easiest way to download the pretrained weights is from HuggingFace:

# first, ensure git-lfs is installed, see: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage
git lfs install
# clone and move the weights
git clone https://huggingface.co/KwaiVGI/LivePortrait temp_pretrained_weights
mv temp_pretrained_weights/* pretrained_weights/
rm -rf temp_pretrained_weights

Alternatively, you can download all pretrained weights from Google Drive or Baidu Yun. Unzip and place them in ./pretrained_weights.

Ensuring the directory structure is as follows, or contains:

pretrained_weights
├── insightface
│   └── models
│       └── buffalo_l
│           ├── 2d106det.onnx

└── liveportrait
    ├── base_models
    │   ├── appearance_feature_extractor.pth
    │   ├── motion_extractor.pth
    │   ├── spade_generator.pth
    │   └── warping_module.pth
    ├── landmark.onnx
    └── retargeting_models
        └── stitching_retargeting_module.pth

3. Inference 🚀

Fast hands-on

# For Linux and Windows
python inference.py

# For macOS with Apple Silicon, Intel not supported, this maybe 20x slower than RTX 4090
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 python inference.py

If the script runs successfully, you will get an output mp4 file named animations/s6--d0_concat.mp4. This file includes the following results: driving video, input image or video, and generated result.

Or, you can change the input by specifying the -s and -d arguments:

# source input is an image
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4

# source input is a video ✨
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d0.mp4

# more options to see
python inference.py -h

Driving video auto-cropping 📢📢📢

To use your own driving video, we recommend: ⬇️

• Crop it to a 1:1 aspect ratio (e.g., 512x512 or 256x256 pixels), or enable auto-cropping by --flag_crop_driving_video.
• Focus on the head area, similar to the example videos.
• Minimize shoulder movement.
• Make sure the first frame of driving video is a frontal face with neutral expression.

Below is a auto-cropping case by --flag_crop_driving_video:

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d13.mp4 --flag_crop_driving_video

If you find the results of auto-cropping is not well, you can modify the --scale_crop_driving_video, --vy_ratio_crop_driving_video options to adjust the scale and offset, or do it manually.

Motion template making

You can also use the auto-generated motion template files ending with .pkl to speed up inference, and protect privacy, such as:

python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s9.jpg -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # portrait animation
python inference.py -s assets/examples/source/s13.mp4 -d assets/examples/driving/d5.pkl # po
