"Good Morning Britain" is boring
lip-sync
Any aspect ratio
Bring any photo to life with studio‑quality lip sync. This template uses Magic Hour’s Lip Sync to turn a static face into a realistic talking video in minutes—perfect for short-form content, product explainers, founders’ messages, character videos, and more.
What this template does
This template lets you:
- Upload or remix a face image (portrait, selfie, character, or illustration)
- Sync that face to any audio (voiceover, podcast clip, dialogue, music with vocals)
- Export a realistic talking-head video you can post directly to TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, or your product site
Under the hood, it uses Magic Hour’s AI talking photo and Lip Sync models to:
- Track facial landmarks and mouth shapes (visemes) from the audio
- Animate lips, jaw, and subtle facial motion to match speech rhythm
- Preserve the look, lighting, and identity of the original face

- Consider enhancing older or low-res images with:
Use clean audio
- Aim for clear speech with minimal background noise.
- Avoid heavily compressed or distorted sources.
- If recording yourself, a basic USB mic or smartphone in a quiet room is usually enough.
Match tone and pacing

- Speak (or generate speech) at a natural pace—extreme speed or slowness can look less natural.
Polish for distribution
- Add captions via Auto Subtitle Generator.
