LivePortrait

We highlighted LivePortrait a couple of weeks ago, a project tackling animating faces in images using driving video, but I thought we’d revisit it because they recently added video animation. This means that LivePortrait can take the facial movements from one video and use them to drive the facial movements in another video.

They’ve also created the option to use a Gradio interface, which makes things a lot easier to navigate than just trying to use a command line interface.

It’s easy to imagine something like this being used for dubbing films one day. In the meantime, I imagine this tech will be appearing in photo apps soon!
