Talking Avatar for Windows
ClapClip brings talking avatars to Windows as a native, GPU-accelerated app. Turn a photo into a speaking video right on your PC — on Windows 10 or 11, using your NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel GPU — without uploading anything or waiting in a cloud queue.
- Windows 10 & 11 native app
- NVIDIA / AMD / Intel via DirectML
- No Python or command line
- Offline, no uploads
Windows 10 & 11
Built for Windows hardware
ClapClip uses DirectML so it can tap whatever GPU you already have — NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel — for fast local rendering. There's no CUDA-only requirement and no Linux setup to wrestle with.
Install and go
Most local talking-avatar projects are research code: Python environments, model downloads, and command lines. ClapClip installs like a normal Windows app and gives you a guided workflow instead.
Private and offline
Your photo, voice, and script stay on your machine. That makes Windows the practical place to generate avatars for client work, internal videos, or anything you'd rather not upload.
A typical first project
Most people start with a 30-second greeting: one front-facing photo, a short voice line, and a single render. It takes a few minutes and shows the loop — photo in, talking clip out — before you commit to a longer script.
FAQ
Does ClapClip run on Windows 10 and 11?
Yes. ClapClip is built for Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, and uses your GPU through DirectML for fast local rendering.
Do I need an NVIDIA GPU?
No. Because ClapClip uses DirectML, it works with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs, so you aren't locked to one vendor.
Is there a command-line setup?
No. Unlike research projects, ClapClip installs and runs like any Windows application — no Python environment or terminal required.
How fast is rendering on a typical PC?
It depends on your GPU and the clip length, but local rendering has no network round-trip, so a short clip typically renders in well under a minute on a dedicated GPU.
