VideoReTalking is a Python research system from SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 that edits real-world talking-head videos to match a given audio track, producing high-quality lip-synced output. It uses a three-stage pipeline of expression normalization, audio-driven lip synchronization, and identity-aware face enhancement.

Use cases

  • sync a talking head video's lips to new audio
  • dub a video into another language with matching lip movement
  • edit the mouth of a person in a video to say different words
  • generate lip-synced talking head videos from audio
  • enhance faces in synthesized talking head videos
  • retime facial expressions in a video to a canonical template

When to avoid

  • you need real-time or streaming lip-sync
  • you want a polished end-user application rather than a research codebase
  • you lack a GPU or cannot run deep learning inference locally
  • you need full-body or multi-person video editing
