TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.

Hi FaceSwap ! When I run this code:

python inference.py --source_paths {PATH_TO_IMAGE} --target_faces_paths {PATH_TO_IMAGE} --target_video {PATH_TO_VIDEO}

I have the following error:

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly.
If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

Hi @ihorrible!
Try to pip install protobuf==3.20.*
