Live Portrait - A New Way For AI Character Acting Animation

Live Portrait - A New Way For AI Character Acting Animation | Face Mimic Tutorial

Hello everyone! Welcome back to Photor. Today, we're diving into an exciting new trend in AI technology: a live portrait animation tool known as Face Mimic. This tool might just be the first app to apply live portrait technology, and in this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use it and explore the possibilities it offers.

Basic Usage

First, let's dive into the basics.

Open the Photor app.
Tap on More Features.
Scroll down until you see the Face Mimic feature.
Upload a source image and a driving video. The source image can be anything from an oil painting, a photo, a sculpture, a sketch, an anime, or even a 3D cartoon character.
Experiment with the app’s funny preset styles for the driving video. For example, you can make the Mona Lisa perform an opera.

Example: Mona Lisa Opera Performance

Let’s take the Mona Lisa as an example. Choose the Opera performance style, tap the generate button, and watch as the Mona Lisa sings an opera for you.

Application Beyond Fun

But can this technology be used for more than just fun? Absolutely. One particularly promising application is AI character acting.

For instance, you might have clips like:

"More than one woman was interested in you. I might have prayed a little too hard, wait... I just want to let you know right now that we are not..."

This trend can greatly benefit the animation-making industry by providing vivid facial expressions. It's also very useful for YouTubers who create monetized animations.

How to Create AI Character Acting

Record a roleplay video with the viral comedy voiceover you’re interested in.
Generate the characters you need based on your plot. For example, if your plot has two characters, generate both characters. You can use the AI image generator on Photor or find characters from the Photor community.
Upload your roleplay video as the driving video. If you recorded all roles at once, you can trim the video to match the specific parts for each character.
Click the Generate button, wait for a moment, and you’ll get the AI character acting clip.
Repeat the steps to finish animating all characters in your scene.
Import your clips into a video editor and combine them in order.
