AI Music Video Lip Sync

Lip sync in AI Song Generator takes one character image and the vocal of your song and generates performance scenes in which that face sings the words in time. It runs on the Performance profile, which is in beta: results are strongest with a clear portrait and a clean, upfront vocal.

Short samples made with AI Song Generator from one of our own songs and a fictional character. Turn the sound on to hear how they follow the music.

  • Singer shot: a character lip-syncs the vocal from one image.

  • Full-body singer: head, hands and camera move with the vocal.

Steps

How it works

  1. Choose the song

    A track from your library or an uploaded MP3, WAV or M4A with a lead vocal.

  2. Add the singer image

    Upload a portrait of yourself or of someone who agreed, or create an original character in the Studio, and confirm the likeness consent.

  3. Plan the performance

    The storyboard sets a framing and setting for each sung section: close-up, stage, studio or street.

  4. Generate and review

    Each performance scene is generated from the image and the vocal of that part of the song.

  5. Finish the cut

    Reorder, add transitions and lyrics in the editor, then export.

How the performance is made

For every sung scene, the Performance profile receives your character image, a description of the shot and the vocal for that stretch of the song. The model animates the face so the mouth, jaw and head follow the singing. Scenes are cut on the musical structure like any other music video, and your original mix is the soundtrack of the export.

Choosing a source image

The image does most of the work, so a few minutes choosing it pays off:

  • One face, looking roughly towards the camera, with the mouth visible
  • Even lighting without strong shadows across the lips
  • A neutral or slightly open mouth rather than a wide smile
  • Enough resolution that the eyes and lips are sharp
  • Hair and hands away from the lower half of the face

Vocals that sync well

Clear lead vocals at a moderate pace give the most convincing results. Very fast rap, heavy vocal effects, stacked harmonies and long instrumental gaps are harder: the mouth may lag, or keep moving where the vocal is quiet. Long instrumental stretches give the model nothing to follow, so keep the sung lines at the heart of each performance scene.

What the beta does not do

It animates a performance from a still image; it does not take a video of a person as the source. It syncs the face to the vocal, not hands to an instrument, so a guitarist will not play the actual chords. Small changes in the face between scenes can appear, and each scene is a short clip rather than one continuous take of the whole song.

What you get

  • MP4 performance video with your original mix
  • 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 versions
  • Three thumbnails per export

Prompts

Example prompts

Starting points you can paste into Create and adjust. Specific details — tempo, instruments, mood, structure — give the most control.

  1. Virtual artist debut

    An illustrated virtual singer with silver hair on a dark stage, slow push-in during the verse, wide shot with spotlights on the chorus

    StylePerformance, stage lighting

    An original character avoids likeness issues entirely.

  2. Bedroom session

    The artist portrait in a small room lit by a desk lamp, close-up for the whole second verse

    StylePerformance, warm low light

    Close-ups show the sync best; save wide shots for instrumentals.

    Use in the Studio
  3. Soul ballad

    Medium shot of the singer by a rain-streaked window, eyes closed on the long notes

    StylePerformance, soft focus

    Held notes are easier to sync than fast syllables.

  4. Street performance

    The character singing on a neon-lit street at night, handheld framing, moving closer on every line of the hook

    StylePerformance, handheld neon

    A moving camera adds energy to a simple setup.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a video of myself as the source?
No. The beta animates a still image: a clear portrait photo of yourself, an illustration, or a character created in the Studio.
Does it work with rap?
It works, but very fast verses sync less precisely than sung melodies. Close-ups on slower lines look best.
Can I make a celebrity sing my song?
No. Impersonating real artists or public figures is not allowed. Use your own likeness, someone who agreed, or an original character.
How is it priced?
Per performance scene, like other generated scenes. The cost depends on the clip length, and the total is shown before you approve the storyboard.
Why is it labelled beta?
Lip-sync quality still varies with the image and the vocal. We are still tuning the profile, and failed scenes are always refunded.
