Lip-sync: The basics

Learn what Lip-Sync does, when to use it for on-camera speakers, and the resolution, face size, and footage requirements for the best results.

Lip-Sync is Dubly.AI's feature that re-animates the speaker's mouth to match the translated audio. The result: a dubbed video that looks like it was filmed in the target language.

When to use Lip-Sync

Lip-Sync is recommended when:

  • The speaker is visible on camera (interview, selfie video, presenter shot)

  • The mouth is clearly visible for most of the shot

  • You want the highest-quality, "native-feeling" result

  • The video contains at least 10 seconds of clear, unobstructed footage of the speaker's face for the AI to process the lip-sync accurately.

Lip-Sync is not needed for voice-over style content where the speaker is off-screen (screencasts, product tours, animations).
