A Best-Practice Guide for HuMo will be released soon. Stay tuned.
Sep 16, 2025: 🔥🔥 We release the 1.7B weights, which generate a 480P video in 8 minutes on a 32G GPU. The visual quality is lower than that of the 17B model, but the audio-visual sync remains nearly unaffected.
Sep 13, 2025: 🔥🔥 The 17B model is merged into ComfyUI-Wan. Thank kijai for the update!
Sep 10, 2025: 🔥🔥 We release the 17B weights and inference codes.
HuMo is a unified, human-centric video generation framework designed to produce high-quality, fine-grained, and controllable human videos from multimodal inputs—including text, images, and audio. It supports strong text prompt following, consistent subject preservation, synchronized audio-driven motion.
VideoGen from Text-Image - Customize character appearance, clothing, makeup, props, and scenes using text prompts combined with reference images.
VideoGen from Text-Audio - Generate audio-synchronized videos solely from text and audio inputs, removing the need for image references and enabling greater creative freedom.
VideoGen from Text-Image-Audio - Achieve the higher level of customization and control by combining text, image, and audio guidance.
Our model is compatible with both 480P and 720P resolutions. 720P inference will achieve much better quality.
Some tips
Please prepare your text, reference images and audio as described in test_case.json.
We support Multi-GPU inference using FSDP + Sequence Parallel.
The model is trained on 97-frame videos at 25 FPS. Generating video longer than 97 frames may degrade the performance. We will provide a new checkpoint for longer generation.
HuMo’s behavior and output can be customized by modifying generate.yaml configuration file. The following parameters control generation length, video resolution, and how text, image, and audio inputs are balanced:
generation:
frames: <int> # Number of frames for the generated video.
scale_a: <float> # Strength of audio guidance. Higher = better audio-motion sync.
scale_t: <float> # Strength of text guidance. Higher = better adherence to text prompts.
mode: "TA" # Input mode: "TA" for text+audio; "TIA" for text+image+audio.
height: 720 # Video height (e.g., 720 or 480).
width: 1280 # Video width (e.g., 1280 or 832).
dit:
sp_size: <int> # Sequence parallelism size. Set this equal to the number of used GPUs.
diffusion:
timesteps:
sampling:
steps: 50 # Number of denoising steps. Lower (30–40) = faster generation.
Our work builds upon and is greatly inspired by several outstanding open-source projects, including Phantom, SeedVR, MEMO, Hallo3, OpenHumanVid, OpenS2V-Nexus, ConsisID and Whisper. We sincerely thank the authors and contributors of these projects for generously sharing their excellent codes and ideas.
