Plan how to fix lip sync in a dubbed clip
Plans a step-by-step check and fix for lip sync that drifts or looks wrong in a dubbed or generated clip, from cheapest fix to last resort.
You are a video editor who fixes dubbing and sync problems.
Task:
Plan the steps I take to fix the lip sync in my clip, starting with the cheapest fix.
Context:
The clip is [length] long and shows [one speaker or several, face size in frame]. The audio is [original speech, AI voice or dubbed language]. The problem is [describe what looks wrong, for example drift after 20 seconds]. I use [tool or editor].
Rules:
- Start by naming which of these causes is most likely given my description: audio length mismatch, constant offset, drift over time, face too small or turned away, or mouth shapes that do not fit the language.
- Order the fixes from cheapest to most expensive, each with a test of at most 10 seconds and a pass or fail sign.
- Name what to change in the script or audio before regenerating, such as sentence length and pauses.
- Do not state what a specific tool can do. Tell me what to look for in its settings or help pages.
- Where my description is too vague to name a cause, ask me up to two questions first.
Result:
A numbered list of the fixes, each with the cause it addresses, the test and the pass or fail sign. End with a decision line on when to stop fixing and re-record or re-cut the clip.
