Prerequisites
- Create an API Key from the Eachlabs Console
- Install the required dependencies for your chosen language (e.g., requests for Python)
API Integration Steps
1. Create a Prediction
Send a POST request to create a new prediction. This will return a prediction ID that you'll use to check the result. The request should include your model inputs and API key.
import requestsimport timeAPI_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" # Replace with your API keyHEADERS = {"X-API-Key": API_KEY,"Content-Type": "application/json"}def create_prediction():response = requests.post("https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/",headers=HEADERS,json={"model": "video-retalking","version": "0.0.1","input": {"face": "your_file.image/jpeg","input_audio": "your_file.audio/wav","audio_duration": 30}})prediction = response.json()if prediction["status"] != "success":raise Exception(f"Prediction failed: {prediction}")return prediction["predictionID"]
2. Get Prediction Result
Poll the prediction endpoint with the prediction ID until the result is ready. The API uses long-polling, so you'll need to repeatedly check until you receive a success status.
def get_prediction(prediction_id):while True:result = requests.get(f"https://api.eachlabs.ai/v1/prediction/{prediction_id}",headers=HEADERS).json()if result["status"] == "success":return resultelif result["status"] == "error":raise Exception(f"Prediction failed: {result}")time.sleep(1) # Wait before polling again
3. Complete Example
Here's a complete example that puts it all together, including error handling and result processing. This shows how to create a prediction and wait for the result in a production environment.
try:# Create predictionprediction_id = create_prediction()print(f"Prediction created: {prediction_id}")# Get resultresult = get_prediction(prediction_id)print(f"Output URL: {result['output']}")print(f"Processing time: {result['metrics']['predict_time']}s")except Exception as e:print(f"Error: {e}")
Additional Information
- The API uses a two-step process: create prediction and poll for results
- Response time: ~287 seconds
- Rate limit: 60 requests/minute
- Concurrent requests: 10 maximum
- Use long-polling to check prediction status until completion
Overview
Video Retalking is an advanced AI model designed to enable realistic lip-syncing and facial animation in videos. By leveraging cutting-edge neural rendering techniques, the model adjusts lip movements to match new audio inputs seamlessly. This makes it a powerful too model for video localization, content creation, and enhancing virtual communication. Additionally, the model supports high-quality facial animation, making it ideal for media and entertainment industrie.
Technical Specifications
- Architecture: Combines Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) with motion estimation algorithms to produce lifelike facial animations.
- Training Dataset: Trained on extensive datasets of diverse facial expressions, speech patterns, and environments to enhance adaptability.
Key Considerations
- Facial Occlusions: Performance may degrade if the subject’s face is partially covered or obscured.
- Audio-Video Sync: Ensure that the audio input is properly aligned with the video timeline for accurate results.
Tips & Tricks
- Input Requirements: Use high-resolution videos or images for best results. Ensure the subject’s face is clearly visible without obstructions.
- Audio Quality: Provide clear and noise-free audio to achieve precise lip synchronization.
- Lighting Consistency: Ensure uniform lighting in the input video to minimize artifacts in the output.
Capabilities
- Realistic Lip-Sync: Modifies lip movements in videos to align with new audio inputs with high precision.
- Facial Animation: Animates static images or enhances facial expressions in videos.
- High-Resolution Outputs: Generates professional-quality videos suitable for media production.
What can I use for?
- Video Localization: Adapt videos to different languages by syncing new audio tracks.
- Content Creation: Enhance video content for social media, advertising, and storytelling.
- Educational Tools: Bring static portraits or historical figures to life for interactive learning experiences.
Things to be aware of
- Creative Narratives: Use the model to animate portraits or videos for storytelling projects.
- Audio Experiments: Test the model with different audio inputs, including dialogues, music, or sound effects.
Limitations
- Background Artifacts: Complex or dynamic backgrounds may introduce minor artifacts in the output.
- Expression Variability: The model may struggle with exaggerated or highly dynamic facial expressions.
- Lighting Issues: Inconsistent lighting in the input video can affect the quality of the output.
- Output Format: MP4
