FoleyCrafter

Sound effects are the unsung heroes of cinema and gaming, enhancing realism, impact, and emotional depth for an immersive audiovisual experience. FoleyCrafter is a video-to-audio generation framework which can produce realistic sound effects semantically relevant and synchronized with videos.

Your star is our fuel! We're revving up the engines with it!

What's New

• A more powerful one 😝 .
• Release training code.
• 2024/07/01 Release the model and code of FoleyCrafter.

Setup

Prepare Environment

Use the following command to install dependencies:

# install conda environment
conda env create -f requirements/environment.yaml
conda activate foleycrafter

# install GIT LFS for checkpoints download
conda install git-lfs
git lfs install

Download Checkpoints

The checkpoints will be downloaded automatically by running inference.py.

You can also download manually using following commands.

Download the text-to-audio base model. We use Auffusion

git clone https://huggingface.co/auffusion/auffusion-full-no-adapter checkpoints/auffusion

Download FoleyCrafter

git clone https://huggingface.co/ymzhang319/FoleyCrafter checkpoints/

Put checkpoints as follows:

└── checkpoints
    ├── semantic
    │   ├── semantic_adapter.bin
    ├── vocoder
    │   ├── vocoder.pt
    │   ├── config.json
    ├── temporal_adapter.ckpt
    │   │
    └── timestamp_detector.pth.tar

Gradio demo

You can launch the Gradio interface for FoleyCrafter by running the following command:

python app.py --share

Inference

Video To Audio Generation

python inference.py --save_dir=output/sora/

Results:

Input Video	Generated Audio
0.mp4	0.mp4
1.mp4	1.mp4
2.mp4	2.mp4
3.mp4	3.mp4

• Temporal Alignment with Visual Cues

python inference.py \
--temporal_align \
--input=input/avsync \
--save_dir=output/avsync/

Results:

Ground Truth	Generated Audio
0.mp4	0.mp4
1.mp4	1.mp4
2.mp4	2.mp4

Text-based Video to Audio Generation

• Using Prompt

# case1
python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case1/ \
--seed=10201304011203481429 \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case1/

python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case1/ \
--seed=10201304011203481429 \
--prompt='noisy, people talking' \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case1_prompt/

# case2
python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case2/ \
--seed=10021049243103289113 \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case2/

python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case2/ \
--seed=10021049243103289113 \
--prompt='seagulls' \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case2_prompt/

Results:

Generated Audio	Generated Audio
Without Prompt	Prompt: noisy, people talking
0.mp4	0.mp4
Without Prompt	Prompt: seagulls
0.mp4	0.mp4

• Using Negative Prompt

# case 3
python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case3/ \
--seed=10041042941301238011 \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case3/

python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case3/ \
--seed=10041042941301238011 \
--nprompt='river flows' \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case3_nprompt/

# case4
python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case4/ \
--seed=10014024412012338096 \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case4/

python inference.py \
--input=input/PromptControl/case4/ \
--seed=10014024412012338096 \
--nprompt='noisy, wind noise' \
--save_dir=output/PromptControl/case4_nprompt/

Results:

Generated Audio	Generated Audio
Without Prompt	Negative Prompt: river flows
0.mp4	0.mp4
Without Prompt	Negative Prompt: noisy, wind noise
0.mp4	0.mp4
