So many facial animation solutions, so little time!

A solution for facial animation is making the rounds right now, called “Live Portrait.” This can be run within ComfyUI to bring any still portrait image to life by being driven by another video.

The output is reminiscent of what you get from Hedra, which interprets audio files and creates appropriate facial animation showing emotion appropriate to the words.

So even though they operate totally differently, the output of each is worth comparing, and that’s what we’re doing here.

The question is, which solution gives you the results you most want?

We also provide a stepbystep tutorial on creating animations, from preparing audio tracks in Adobe Audition to generating and finetuning facial animations using both Comfy UI and Prome AI.

We conclude with tips on achieving better results and showcases how to bring diverse styles and images to life using Live Portrait.
