Its title points to free viewpoint and expressive editing, which means changing how a speaking face looks in a clip. The repository holds the model code, video preprocessing, face detection and a checkpoints folder. ### Who it suits Researchers and developers who work on face and video models, and students who want to see how such a demo is built. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Research | Computer vision researchers | Try a talking head editing method | Open the demo and test it on a short clip | | Software | Video developers | Study how a model, face detector and preprocessing fit together | Read fete\_model.py and preprocess\_videos.py | | Education | Students | Learn the parts of a video editing demo | Browse the face\_detection folder | | Media | Visual effects teams | Judge a research method before any real use | Review the output on a test video | If you need a tool for commercial video work, the non-commercial license rules this one out. ### Where to use it It runs in two places. - A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face with nothing to install - A local copy on Windows, macOS or Linux, which needs Python | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Try the method | Researchers | An edited talking head result from the demo | | Preprocess a video | Developers | A prepared clip, using the preprocessing script | | Study the code | Students | The model, audio and inference helper files | ### How to set it up Using it online needs nothing. A local copy needs a few things. - Python and pip - The packages listed in requirements.txt - The checkpoints folder that ships with the repository 1. Install the Hugging Face tools. 2. Download the Space into a folder. 3. Move into that folder. 4. Install Gradio and the packages from requirements.txt. 5. Start the app. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download sky24h/Free-View_Expressive_Talking_Head_Video_Editing --repo-type space --local-dir Free-View_Expressive_Talking_Head_Video_Editing cd Free-View_Expressive_Talking_Head_Video_Editing pip install gradio==5.25.2 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Open the Space page and use the controls the demo shows. In a local copy, run python app.py to open the same page on your own computer. The repository also has a script that prepares videos before editing. ### Example You open the demo and add a short clip of a person speaking. You use its controls to change the video, then watch the edited result on the page. ### For newcomers and experts Start with a short, well lit clip of one person facing the camera. Judge the result against the original before trying anything more complex. The repository splits the work into a model file, an audio module, a face detection folder, inference helpers and a preprocessing script. Trained weights sit in the checkpoints folder. It runs on zero-a10g hardware at Hugging Face. You add a talking head video → Preprocessing prepares the clip → The model applies the edit → The edited video shows on the page ### Good to know The README is only a settings pointer, so the method's details and limits are not described there. - License: CC BY-NC 4.0, for non-commercial use only - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the videos you add to the page - Not for: commercial use ## README ````markdown # Free-View Expressive Talking Head Video Editing A Gradio demo for editing talking head videos, with free viewpoint and expressive control as its title says.
