How to Lip Sync a Video with AI: Match the Mouth to New Audio
Lip sync means matching the mouth movements in a video to the audio. With AI lip sync you can replace a line in a finished video, or dub it into another language, and the mouth follows the new voice. This guide uses BunCho's lip sync tool to cover what material works, the steps, choosing a model and fixing common problems.
What AI lip sync does
Upload a video of someone talking and a new voice — a script read by a built-in voice, or an audio file. BunCho's lip sync tool redraws the mouth so it matches the new voice. The face, body and background stay as in the original video.
The result is as long as the shorter of the video and the new voice. Videos can be up to 60 seconds and the voice up to 30 seconds, so split longer videos into 30-second parts.
- Replace a line in a video you shot with a new recording
- Dub your own video into another language
- Add dialogue afterwards to an AI avatar or a generated character clip
What to prepare (video and voice)
- Video: up to 60 seconds, MP4, MOV or WebM. A large, front-facing face works best
- Scenes where the mouth is hidden (hands or a microphone in front, long side views) may not match well
- Voice from a script: up to 300 characters, read by the voice you choose
- Voice from a file: up to 30 seconds of clean speech
- Permission: if anyone other than you appears in the video, you need their permission

Models you can choose, and approximate credits for 5 seconds
sync-3 also handles side views and partly covered mouths, and uses more credits. sync lipsync-2-pro draws the mouth in more detail. Kling Lip-Sync is priced in steps (up to 5 s, up to 10 s) and is the lowest-credit option for 5 seconds. PixVerse LipSync also uses few credits and is fast.
| Model | Length | Approx. credits | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| sync-3 | 1–30 s | about 669 for 5 s | Handles side views and covered mouths, more credits |
| sync lipsync-2-pro | 1–30 s | about 369 for 5 s | Detailed mouth |
| sync lipsync-2 | 1–30 s | about 221 for 5 s | Fewer credits |
| Kling Lip-Sync | 1–30 s | about 46 for 5 s | Priced in steps (up to 5 s, up to 10 s), fewer credits |
| PixVerse LipSync | 1–30 s | about 68 for 5 s | Fewer credits, fast |
Fixing common problems
- Some shots do not match: for videos with many side views or covered mouths, choose sync-3 or cut those shots out
- The result is shorter than expected: the length is the shorter of the video and the voice. Check the voice length
- The voice is hard to hear: use an audio file with only speech, without music or noise
- The video is longer than 60 seconds: trim it to 60 seconds or less in your editor first
Rights and AI disclosure
Only use images, audio and video that you own or have permission to use. Real people's faces and voices may only be used with that person's permission. Before generating, you tick a box confirming you have the rights.
You may not make videos that show someone saying something they did not say in a misleading way, or that impersonate someone. When you publish, label the video as AI-generated or AI-edited according to the platform's rules (for example, YouTube's altered or synthetic content setting).
Model names in this guide and in the product are listed because you can choose them in BunCho. Listing them does not imply any partnership with or endorsement by their makers.
Plans and credits
The video tools are available on paid plans (Watering, Seed, Feast, Full Course, Team & Business) with an active subscription. They are not available on the free plan or during a paid plan's free trial.
They use your studio's monthly AI credits, the same balance as novels, manga and video. You see an estimate before generating and nothing is made until you agree. No credits are used if a job fails or if you cancel it before it starts.
