## About

### What it is

MuseTalk 1.5 is a Gradio demo of the MuseTalk model. You give it a reference image or video with a face, plus an audio track, and it produces a video where the mouth moves with the audio. A step lets you test the inpainting settings on the first frame before the full run.

The code is pinned to one commit of the MuseTalk project. The repository also holds a RESEARCH.md file with a technical assessment.

### Who it suits

People who work with talking faces and want to try lip sync on their own media without building the pipeline first.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Media | Video editors | Match a speaker's mouth to new audio | Test a short clip with a replacement voice track |
| Software | Developers | Try the model before integrating it | Run the demo on one image and one audio file |
| Research | Computer vision researchers | Study how lip sync output behaves | Tune the mouth settings on the first frame |

You can skip it if you do not have permission to use the faces or audio, since the README asks you to upload only media you may use.

### Where to use it

- A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face, with nothing to install
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, from a copy you download

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Lip sync a portrait | Creators | A video of the face speaking your audio |
| Dub a short clip | Editors | The clip with its mouth matched to new audio |
| Check the mouth area | Developers | A first-frame preview before the full run |

### How to set it up

- Python 3.10 on your computer
- The Python packages listed in requirements.txt
- The system packages listed in packages.txt, which the Space installs with apt-get
- The huggingface\_hub package, which gives you the hf command
- Time on the first start, since the model weights download then

1. Install the huggingface\_hub package.
2. Download the Space with the hf command.
3. Move into the downloaded folder.
4. Install the pinned Gradio version.
5. Install the packages from requirements.txt.
6. Start the app with Python.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download henrybit/musetalk-1-5 --repo-type space --local-dir musetalk-1-5
cd musetalk-1-5
pip install gradio==5.49.1
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

### How to use it

Open the Space's page, or start your own copy with the command below. Add a front-facing image or short video with a clear face, add the driving audio, run Test Inpainting, then generate the full result.

```sh
python app.py
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| Test Inpainting | Previews the mouth area on the first frame |
| bbox\_shift | A setting to adjust when the mouth area looks wrong |
| Generate | Produces the full lip-synced video |

### Example

You add a front-facing photo and a short voice clip, then run Test Inpainting. If the mouth looks right, you generate the full video and get the face speaking the clip.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to lip sync, use a clear front-facing photo and a few seconds of audio. Run the test step first, because it is quicker than a full run. For video input, the README prefers 25 fps.

If you know the field, the demo wraps MuseTalk 1.5 for ZeroGPU, where a GPU is allocated only while the generate functions run. The first start fetches several sets of weights, including the UNet and the Whisper-tiny model, which can take a few minutes. Later starts reuse the Hub cache.

You add a face image or video and audio → Test Inpainting previews the first frame → You adjust bbox\_shift and margins if needed → Generate produces the lip-synced video

### Good to know

- License: the Space lists mit
- Cost to run: no secrets are required for public model downloads, and HF\_TOKEN is only for cases where Hub rate limits or your setup need it
- Data it reaches: the images, video and audio you upload, plus model weights downloaded from the Hub
- Not for: media you lack permission to use, and the README asks you to disclose synthetic or altered video when you publish it
