lip-sync
Any aspect ratio
Bring any photo to life with studio‑quality lip sync. This Magic Hour template lets you turn a single image into a talking video that precisely matches your audio—perfect for short-form content, explainers, product demos, character avatars, and rapid A/B tests.
What this template does
This template is built on Magic Hour’s Lip Sync product. It:
- Animates a still face (photo, illustration, avatar, character render, etc.)
- Syncs mouth shape and facial motion to your audio
- Preserves identity and expression from the original image
- Outputs a ready-to-share video you can drop into TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, product pages, or ads
Use it to:
- Preview scripts and voiceovers on a talking character
- Test different hooks or intros without reshooting video
- Build talking avatars for landing pages and onboarding
- Create fast draft “talking head” content without a camera

Best practices for high-quality lip sync
To get the most realistic results:
Use clear, front-facing faces
- Good: well-lit, front-facing portraits where the mouth and eyes are visible
- Avoid: extreme angles, heavy obstructions (hands, objects), or very low-res images
If needed, sharpen your source image with the AI Image Upscaler or unblur with Unblur Image.
Choose clean audio
- Minimal background noise and reverb
- Steady speaking pace
- Clear consonants (“b”, “p”, “f”, “m”) improve perceived sync
Match character and voice
- Corporate avatars → neutral, professional voice
- Gaming or entertainment characters → more expressive, stylized voice
- Consistency matters: use AI Voice Cloner to keep the same “spokesperson” across campaigns.
Optimize for your channel
- Short, punchy takes for ads and Shorts
- Slightly slower, clearer delivery for product explainers or onboarding
- Auto-caption with Auto Subtitle Generator to improve watch time and accessibility
