Generate a talking-head avatar video from a line of text. Stage 1 synthesizes the text in the avatar's cloned voice via the voice-clone skill (reusing the avatar's trained voice, or training one from a source recording if it has none). Stage 2 feeds a camera-angle image (from avatar-camera-angles) plus the generated mp3 to prunaai/p-video-avatar on Replicate at 720p (or 1080p) and saves the lip-synced MP4 under <avatar>/generated-videos/ with a manifest.json. Use when the user wants a talking…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Avatar Talking Video Turn **text → a lip-synced talking-head video** of an avatar, in two stages: 1. **Voice (TTS).** Delegates to the [`voice-clone`](../voice-clone/SKILL.md) skill to speak the text in the avatar's cloned voice. It reuses the avatar's already-trained voice, or trains one from `--source` if the avatar has none. 2. **Video (lip-sync).** Sends a **camera-angle image** (`image`, from the [`avatar-camera-angles`](../avatar-camera-angles/SKILL.md) skill) plus the generated **mp3** (`audio`) to **`prunaai/p-video-avatar`** on Replicate. When `audio` is supplied it drives the speech directly (the model's own voice settings are ignored), so lip-sync follows the cloned voice exactly. Output lands in `<avatar>/generated-videos/` with a `manifest.json` recording the text, voice, image, audio, and video params. ## Requirements - `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` (Replicate client). The `voice-clone` skill must be installed (its TTS does stage 1); install its requirements too. - A Replicate API token, **shared** with the other Replicate skills (voice-clone, gpt-image-2, avatar-video-reel, …) and discovered automatically.

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/avatar-talking-video@sha256:ae7b161c51a296b1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.ec45941, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
