FoleyCrafter
Sound effects are the unsung heroes of cinema and gaming, enhancing realism, impact, and emotional depth for an immersive audiovisual experience. FoleyCrafter is a video-to-audio generation framework which can produce realistic sound effects semantically relevant and synchronized with videos.
Your star is our fuel! We're revving up the engines with it!
