EchoMimic: Open-Source Digital Human by Alipay 116

EchoMimic is an audio-driven portrait animation generation tool developed by Ant Group's Alipay. It generates realistic and natural animations through editable landmark conditioning, allowing users to adjust animation details according to their needs. It can be used for virtual streamers, video editing, and more. Its effects are better than SadTalker and MuseTalk, with richer expressions and smoother movements.

EchoMimic can help characters match lip movements based on portrait facial features and audio, combining facial landmarks and audio content to generate stable and natural videos.

EchoMimic Features:

• Audio-driven animation: Generates portrait animations from audio, such as singing or talking videos.

• Pose-driven animation: Generates portrait animations based on pose data.

• Audio and pose hybrid-driven animation: Generates animations using both audio and pose data simultaneously.

• WebUI and GradioUI: Provides graphical interfaces for ease of use.

• Editable landmark conditioning: Users can select specific facial landmarks to control animations, offering greater flexibility and customization.

• Supports multiple languages (including Chinese Mandarin and English) and multiple styles, and can also handle scenarios such as singing.

EchoMimic Applications:

• Portrait image animation: Creates dynamic videos from static images using audio input, applicable to entertainment, virtual avatars, and digital communication.

• Enhanced stability and naturalness: Overcomes the instability of audio-driven methods and the unnaturalness of landmark-driven methods by combining both inputs.

• Customizable animation: Users can edit specific facial landmarks to achieve desired animation effects.
