Once again, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your love, attention, and support for LivePortrait! 🎉 We are excited to announce the release of an implementation of Portrait Video Editing (aka v2v) today! Special thanks to the hard work of the LivePortrait team: Dingyun Zhang, Zhizhou Zhong, and Jianzhu Guo.

Updates

• Portrait video editing (v2v): Implemented a version of Portrait Video Editing (aka v2v). Ensure you have pykalman package installed, which has been added in requirements_base.txt. You can specify the source video using the -s or --source option, adjust the temporal smoothness of motion with --driving_smooth_observation_variance, enable head pose motion transfer with --flag_video_editing_head_rotation, and ensure the eye-open scalar of each source frame matches the first source frame before animation with --flag_source_video_eye_retargeting.

• More options in Gradio: We have upgraded the Gradio interface and added more options. These include Cropping Options for Source Image or Video and Cropping Options for Driving Video, providing greater flexibility and control.
