Working notes on lip sync vs mimic motion
If you only read one section, read the part about choosing the source image; it decides most of the result.
A note I keep at the top of this repo so I pick the right Fameo tool.
| If the viewer should notice… | Use |
|---|---|
| A line of speech or a song | the Fameo generator (or the pet, cartoon, drawing, singing, or multi-talk pages) |
| A wave, a dance step, a gesture | mimic-motion tool |
Mimic motion takes a photo plus a motion video (MP4 or MOV, up to 120 seconds and under 20 MB) or a preset. You can keep the photo’s background or use the video’s, and render at 480p or 720p. A clear, single, front-facing full or half-body shot works better than a tight head crop.
Lip sync takes an image plus text or audio and returns a talking video in minutes.
Both require authorized media. I do not copy a performer’s movement or a person’s face without permission. Start at make a photo talk.
Before posting, watch the clip once with the sound off. If the mouth still reads as speech, it is ready.
