Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of AI-generated audio and video synthesis? With HeyGens, you can effortlessly convert any input text into a lifelike audio using your own video footage. Let’s walk through the steps to get your project up and running!

Step-by-Step Guide

• Requirements: Before setting up, ensure you have Python 3.8 and the necessary libraries installed.
• Prepare Your Files: Place your original video and audio files in the source folder of your project.
• Generate Cloned Audio: Run the following command:

shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 openheygen.py --text "Input your text here" --language zh-cn

• Output Details:
  • –text: The specific text you want to generate audio for.
  • –language: Language options include Arabic (ar), Brazilian Portuguese (pt), Chinese (zh-cn), and more.
  • –speaker_wav: Default is set to sourcetest.wav.
  • –output_path: Where the generated audio will be saved (default is resultoutput.wav).
• Final Video Generation: After audio generation, go to the video-retalking folder and run:

shell
python3 video-retalking.py

Environment Setup

Your environment needs to be just right for HeyGens to work. Follow these commands to set everything up properly:

shell
conda create -n openheygen python=3.8
conda activate openheygen
conda install ffmpeg
pip install -r requirements.txt
mkdir .checkpoints

Download Pretrained Models

You will also need additional files to ensure seamless functioning. Use the following commands:

shell
wget https://github.com/vinthony/video-retalking/releases/download/v0.0.1/30_net_gen.pth -O .checkpoints/30_net_gen.pth
wget https://github.com/vinthony/video-retalking/releases/download/v0.0.1/BFM.zip -O .checkpoints/BFM.zip
... (continue downloading other files) ...

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of the HeyGens process like baking a cake. First, you need the right ingredients (your original video and audio). You prepare your batter by mixing these inputs (running the openheygen.py script) to create a delicious audio cake. Then, to present it beautifully (the video generation), you add frosting and decorations (that is, the video-retalking process). Each step is crucial — missing a single ingredient might leave your cake flat! Similarly, missing dependencies or files can cause the program to misbehave.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while running HeyGens, check the following:

• Make sure all required libraries are correctly installed. Run pip install -r requirements.txt again if unsure.
• Ensure your paths to the source folder and output files are correct.
• Verify that the prerequisite models have been downloaded successfully.
• Confirm that your Python version is 3.8 for compatibility.
• If issues persist, try checking forums or documentation for similar problems.
