Deep Live Cam Setup Tutorial

Deep Live Cam is a project for creating real-time face swaps and one-click video deepfakes using a single image. This tutorial will guide you through the installation and basic usage.

Prerequisites

• Python (3.10 recommended)
• pip
• git
• FFmpeg
• Visual Studio 2022 runtimes (for Windows users)

Installation

Step 1: Clone the Repository

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Run the following command: git clone https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam.git
3. Navigate to the cloned directory: cd Deep-Live-Cam

Step 2: Download Required Models

1. Visit the project's Hugging Face page.
2. Download the following models:
3. GFPGANv1.4
4. inswapper_128_fp16.onnx
5. Place these files in the models folder of the cloned repository.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

1. Install the required packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: GPU Acceleration Setup (Optional)

For NVIDIA GPUs:

1. Install CUDA Toolkit 11.8
2. Install additional dependencies: pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-gpu pip install onnxruntime-gpu==1.16.3

For Apple Silicon:

1. Install CoreML dependencies: pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-silicon pip install onnxruntime-silicon==1.13.1

For Windows DirectML:

1. Install DirectML dependencies: pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-directml pip install onnxruntime-directml==1.15.1

For Intel OpenVINO:

1. Install OpenVINO dependencies: pip uninstall onnxruntime onnxruntime-openvino pip install onnxruntime-openvino==1.15.0

Usage

Basic Usage

Run the application with:
python run.py

GPU-Accelerated Usage

For NVIDIA GPUs:

python run.py --execution-provider cuda

For Apple Silicon:

python run.py --execution-provider coreml

For Windows DirectML:

python run.py --execution-provider directml

For Intel OpenVINO:

python run.py --execution-provider openvino

Interface

1. Select a face image using the "Choose Face" button.
2. For live webcam mode:
   • Click "Live" to use your webcam feed.
3. For video processing:
   • Select a target video using the "Choose Target" button.
   • Click "Start" to begin processing.

Additional Options

• Face Enhancer: Improves output quality (may slow down processing)
• Many Faces: Processes every face in the frame
• Keep FPS: Maintains original video frame rate
• Keep Audio: Preserves original audio

Command Line Arguments

For advanced usage, you can use the following command line arguments:

• -s, --source: Select source image
• -t, --target: Select target image or video
• -o, --output: Specify output file or directory
• --frame-processor: Choose frame processors
• --keep-fps: Keep original FPS
• --keep-audio: Keep original audio
• --many-faces: Process every face
• --video-encoder: Adjust output video encoder
• --video-quality: Adjust output video quality
• --max-memory: Set maximum RAM usage
• --execution-threads: Set number of execution threads

Notes

• Processing speed depends on your hardware. GPU acceleration significantly improves performance.
• For live webcam mode, ensure your webcam is properly connected and recognized by your system.
• Always use this software responsibly and ethically.
