sync.productions brings zero-shot visual dubbing to studio workflows

sync.labs is bringing its studio-grade lip-sync technology to film and television production through sync.productions.

Built by a research-driven team of scientists, artists and engineers, sync.labs use purpose-built proprietary AI models to make lip syncing faster, more accessible and zero-shot, while keeping the original performance at the centre of the process.

Studios can now use sync.productions to localise complete titles for new audiences or change individual lines after filming, while preserving the actor’s original performance and the director’s cut.

The team behind sync.labs helped pioneer modern lip-sync technology and has spent years advancing it through proprietary research and model development.

sync.productions brings the next evolution of that work to studios, with a dedicated model refined for the visual quality and creative demands of film and television production. 

Using only the original footage and a new audio track, sync.productions can adjust the speaker’s mouth and facial movements to match the new dialogue, without actor-specific training, facial scans or rigs. Developed with performance preservation as a central design principle, the technology is built to change the dialogue without losing the expression and character of the original take.

For customers, this technology is delivered as a managed service. The sync.productions team reviews the footage and delivery requirements, produces a sample for creative approval, manages quality control and revisions in-house, and delivers finished material in the formats post-production teams already use. 

The service can operate before or after colour grading. Delivery supports professional formats including ProRes and OpenEXR, alongside high dynamic range (HDR) and Academy Colour Encoding System (ACES) colour pipelines, so finished material can move directly into the production team’s existing finishing process.

Prady Modukuru, Co-Founder & CEO, sync.labs, said, “Our mission is to give every story, no matter where it comes from, the ability to reach audiences anywhere in the world while preserving the performance at its core.

“Language shouldn’t limit how far a great story or performance can travel.”
