Default checkpoint

[gpavanb1]

How do we run the code without any available checkpoint files? Currently, there seems to be a wav2lip_gan.pth being referenced in the example Google Colab notebook, but we are reluctant to give our Google Drive permission for its sake.

you can make ur own private copy of the notebook and give the permissions to that for your private copy. And also, this is an inference code of a model, so without the checkpoint, the code would not make much sense to run, I guess.

Does it mean it is specific to the face detection model we are downloading? Since it is being mentioned as a pre-requisite anyways, would be great if you can add the .pth to the repository as well.

I meant you need to use the wav2lip checkpoint. Face detection checkpoint you can download easily using the wget command.

It seems to be a pre-requisite in that case. I have downloaded it from Drive for now but would be great if it is part of the repo too.

Thank you for doing good research. I agree with gpavanb1's opinion. I think the .pth file is basically large. I think it would be better to write a comment in the colab rather than adding it to the repository.
