Lip Sync

Aligning a speaker's mouth movements to an audio track — critical for believable dubbing and AI avatars.

Lip sync is the match between visible mouth movements and the audio being heard. In AI video it works two ways: dubbing tools reshape a speaker's mouth to fit translated words, and avatar tools generate mouth movement from a script so a synthetic presenter looks natural.

Good lip-sync is what separates a convincing localized or avatar video from an obviously fake one.
