Fudan University's open source project Hallo, a tool for generating speaking videos based on audio and images, now supports the ComfyUI plug-in. The project achieves high-precision audio and visual synchronization, including lip movements, expressions and gestures, through an advanced end-to-end diffusion paradigm and layered audio-driven visual synthesis module, making the generated video effects realistic and natural. Although the installation process may be complicated, the emergence of Hallo has injected new vitality into the open source community and also provides broader possibilities in the field of video generation.
The Hallo project allows facial photos to start speaking by inputting audio, and accompanied by corresponding expressions, the effect looks very natural. This project adopts an end-to-end diffusion paradigm and introduces a layered audio-driven visual synthesis module to improve the alignment accuracy between audio input and visual output, including movements of lips, expressions, and gestures.
This layered audio-driven visual synthesis module provides adaptive control over the diversity of expressions and gestures, more effectively achieving personalized customization for different identities. This means that no matter whose facial photo it is, a talking video can be generated through the Hallo project, and the effect will be natural, as if a real person is talking.
Although the installation process of the Hallo project may be relatively complicated, its emergence has undoubtedly brought new vitality to the open source ecosystem. As technology continues to develop, we can expect more such projects to appear in the future, bringing more convenience and fun to our lives.
