Have you ever wished the characters from Game of Thrones could act out a scene exactly the way you imagined? What if you could create your own unique cinematic moment with full control over expression, motion, voice, and style? HuMo makes it possible.

HuMo is a cutting-edge human-centered video generation framework from ByteDance. Designed to leverage multimodal inputs including text, images, and audio, HuMo generates high-quality, controllable videos featuring realistic human characters. Whether for content creation, education, or brand marketing, HuMo is reshaping how we bring characters to life on screen.

Multimodal Video Generation: Creativity Unleashed

HuMo offers three levels of creative control:

• Text + Image. Customize character appearance, clothing, makeup, props, and scenes using textual prompts alongside reference images.

• Text + Audio. Generate audio-synchronized videos purely from text and audio, enabling complete creative freedom without needing image references.

• Text + Image + Audio. Combine all inputs for maximum control and highly detailed video output.

Whether generating humans, humans interacting with objects or animals, stylized humanoid artwork, or animations, HuMo adapts seamlessly.

Key Features that Set HuMo AI Apart

Subject Preservation: Maintain Character Identity

HuMo ensures identity consistency by preserving features from reference images. If a reference image is provided, the generated video aligns the character’s appearance, clothing, and traits with the input, delivering coherent and recognizable characters. The model shows strong text-following ability and fidelity to subject identity.

Audio-Visual Synchronization

HuMo integrates an audio cross-attention layer to align visual outputs with audio inputs. Voice or background music drives lip movements, gestures, and facial expressions in sync with rhythm and speech content, creating realistic, expressive performances.

Time-Adaptive Guidance

During generation, HuMo dynamically adjusts the importance of text, image, and audio inputs at different time steps. This ensures a balanced output with smooth motion, tight audio-visual sync, and consistency across multimodal inputs.
