Introduction

The EchoMimic Video Workflow is designed to generate high-quality, audio-driven character animations. By combining text prompts, static images, and audio inputs, this workflow produces realistic and dynamic videos where characters move and speak naturally. Ideal for storytelling, virtual presenters, and creative media projects, this pipeline seamlessly integrates voice, visuals, and animations.

EchoMimic: Speech-Driven Facial Animation

It takes the styled reference image and generated audio as inputs to create realistic facial animations and lip-sync movements. By leveraging advanced synchronization techniques, it ensures that the character's mouth, expressions, and subtle facial dynamics align perfectly with the speech in the audio file. This allows for seamless integration of visual and auditory elements, producing a lifelike animated video suitable for storytelling, virtual presentations, and creative projects.

Workflow Overview

How to use this workflow

Step 1: Generate Audio from Text

Text Input: Use TextNode to provide input text that represents the dialogue or script for your character.
Export Audio: Save the generated audio using the SaveAudio node in .wav format for further processing.

Step 2: Style and Character Preparation

1.Load Reference Image

Upload a reference image of the character using the Load Image node. This image will serve as the base for generating the animation.

2.Refine with Text Prompts

Use CLIP Text Encode to input descriptive text, such as "a girl," to condition the style and appearance of the generated animation.

3.Export the Image

Save the generated styled image using the Save Image node for later use in video creation.

Step 3: Audio-Driven Video Generation

1.Load the Styled Image

Import the styled image generated in Step 2 into the EchoMimic module as the visual foundation for the animation.

2.Load Audio

Import the audio file created in Step 1 into the EchoMimic module. Ensure the audio matches the desired speech and timing for the animation.

3.Export the Video

Combine the generated frames into a seamless video using the Video Combine node.
