OmniHuman v2
OmniHuman v2 from ByteDance animates a still image of a person so their speech, expression, and movement follow an audio track. An optional text prompt steers the scene, body motion, and camera. Audio runs from 5 to 300 seconds (wav or mp3). It is built for realistic digital humans in advertisements, explainers, and longer spoken performances.

FAQ
How much does OmniHuman v2 cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
