# Wav2Lip-HD: Improving Wav2Lip to achieve High-Fidelity Videos
This repository contains code for achieving high-fidelity lip-syncing in videos, using the [Wav2Lip algorithm](https://github.com/Rudrabha/Wav2Lip) for lip-syncing and the [Real-ESRGAN algorithm](https://github.com/xinntao/Real-ESRGAN) for super-resolution. The combination of these two algorithms allows for the creation of lip-synced videos that are both highly accurate and visually stunning.
## Algorithm
The algorithm for achieving high-fidelity lip-syncing with Wav2Lip and Real-ESRGAN can be summarized as follows:
1. The input video and audio are given to `Wav2Lip` algorithm.
2. Python script is written to extract frames from the video generated by wav2lip.
3. Frames are provided to Real-ESRGAN algorithm to improve quality.
4. Then, the high-quality frames are converted to video using ffmpeg, along with the original audio.
5. The result is a high-quality lip-syncing video.
6. The specific steps for running this algorithm are described in the [Testing Model](https://github.com/saifhassan/Wav2Lip-HD#testing-model) section of this README.
## Testing Model
To test the "Wav2Lip-HD" model, follow these steps:
1. Clone this repository and install requirements using following command (Make sure, Python and CUDA are already installed):
```
git clone https://github.com/saifhassan/Wav2Lip-HD.git
cd Wav2Lip-HD
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. Downloading weights

3. Put input video to `input_videos` directory and input audio to `input_audios` directory.
4. Open `run_final.sh` file and modify following parameters:
`filename=kennedy` (just video file name without extension)
`input_audio=input_audios/ai.wav` (audio filename with extension)
5. Execute `run_final.sh` using following command:
```
bash run_final.sh
```
6. Outputs
- `output_videos_wav2lip` directory contains video output generated by wav2lip algorithm.
- `frames_wav2lip` directory contains frames extracted from video (generated by wav2lip algorithm).
- `frames_hd` directory contains frames after performing super-resolution using Real-ESRGAN algorithm.
- `output_videos_hd` directory contains final high quality video output generated by Wav2Lip-HD.
## Results
The results produced by Wav2Lip-HD are in two forms, one is frames and other is videos. Both are shared below:
