The record

purpose: LivePortrait synthesizes a lifelike portrait video from a single source image, using motion from a driving video, audio, text, or generation.
controls: The system includes stitching and eye/lip retargeting modules for improved controllability.
speed: Generation speed reaches 12.8 ms on an RTX 4090 GPU with PyTorch.
animal support: Fine-tuned models can animate cats, dogs, and pandas using human driving motion.
open source: The official implementation is provided as a PyTorch repository and is released under the MIT License.
commercial licensing: InsightFace models included in the project are for non-commercial research, and commercial users must replace those detection models.
local setup: The project requires git, conda, FFmpeg, Python 3.10, and downloaded pretrained weights.
platform support: Humans mode supports Linux, Windows, and macOS with Apple Silicon; Intel macOS is not tested.
animal limitation: Animals mode is only tested on Linux and Windows with an NVIDIA GPU and is unsupported on macOS because X-Pose does not support macOS.
web access: The project provides an online demo through Hugging Face Spaces.
integrations: Community resources include FaceFusion, ComfyUI nodes, a Stable Diffusion WebUI extension, Replicate, FAL, Poe, and Hugging Face Spaces.
privacy: Motion templates can be used to speed inference and protect privacy.
security updates: The maintainers updated the transformers and gradio versions to avoid security vulnerabilities.
risk notice: The maintainers warn that portrait animation can be misused for deepfakes and state that they assume no legal responsibility for generated results.
