What this template does

This template takes a single image (photo, avatar, illustration, or AI‑generated character) and:

1. Animates the face with realistic lip‑sync and expressions
2. Syncs it to any audio or scripted voiceover
3. Outputs a share‑ready video you can use in landing pages, ads, social, or product flows

It’s powered by the same tech behind AI Talking Photo, and works especially well with:

• Portrait photos and headshots
• AI characters created with the AI Character Generator or Avatar Generator
• Product mascots or illustrated faces generated with AI Art Generator or Animated Characters Generator
