Dope sheet: how lip sync works

Four rows from a silent face to a spoken line.

1. Frames 001–012 · Pick your character

Start with a front-facing character and a visible mouth, so every mouth shape has room to read.

Lip sync styles

One line, five lip sync styles.

The same spoken line, five looks. The mouth lands on every syllable whichever one you pick.

Lip sync animation questions

Can I use my own voice recording?

Yes. Upload your own recording and Frameo maps each sound to a mouth shape, frame by frame. Clean, dry audio with no music underneath gives the tightest sync. You can also type the line and choose a voice instead.

Which languages sync?

The sync follows the sounds in the audio, not a fixed word list. Test a short line in your language first, then build the full take once the mouth shapes look right.

Does it work on photos or drawings I upload?

Yes, when the face is clear, the mouth is visible and the character is turned toward camera. Side views and covered mouths are harder to sync, so pick a front-facing image.

How long can a talking clip be?

Keep each take under about 20 seconds for the cleanest sync. For a longer scene, make several takes and join them on the canvas.

Can I use it commercially?

You retain ownership of what you make. The Terms of Use set out the full position.
