Disclaimer

This software is intended as a productive contribution to the AI-generated media industry. It aims to assist artists with tasks like animating custom characters or using them as models for clothing, etc.

We are aware of the potential for unethical applications and are committed to preventative measures. A built-in check prevents the program from processing inappropriate media (nudity, graphic content, sensitive material like war footage, etc.). We will continue to develop this project responsibly, adhering to the law and ethics. We may shut down the project or add watermarks if legally required.

Users are expected to use this software responsibly and legally. If using a real person's face, obtain their consent and clearly label any output as a deepfake when sharing online. We are not responsible for end-user actions.

Installation

This is more likely to work on your computer but will be slower as it utilizes the CPU.

1. Set up Your Platform

• Python (3.10 recommended)
• pip
• git
• ffmpeg
• Visual Studio 2022 Runtimes (Windows)

2. Clone the Repository

https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam.git

3. Download the Models

1. GFPGANv1.4
2. inswapper_128_fp16.onnx (Note: Use this replacement version if you encounter issues)

Place these files in the "models" folder.

4. Install Dependencies

We highly recommend using a venv to avoid issues.

pip install -r requirements.txt

For macOS: Install or upgrade the python-tk package:

brew install [email protected]

Run: If you don't have a GPU, you can run Deep-Live-Cam using python run.py. Note that initial execution will download models (~300MB).
