Dreamina AI Lip Sync Guide
Dreamina is a platform that enables both AI image and video generation, including an impressive AI lip-sync video generation tool. I've spent some time experimenting with this lip-sync feature, it works pretty well. In this article, I'll share all my findings, experiences, and a complete step-by-step guide to help you use Dreamina's AI Lip Sync tool yourself.

Dreamina is part of a larger platform owned by ByteDance (the same company behind TikTok, CapCut, and the Omni AI video generation model). The Dreamina AI Lip Sync tool allows users to sync AI-generated or uploaded speech to a still image, creating short talking avatar videos.

Examples of AI Lip Sync Results
I ran several tests using Dreamina's AI lip sync. Below are the results and findings:
Sample 1
"The doctor's running a little behind. It took him longer than usual to make Bale this morning."
- Audio: Generated using 11 Labs
- Image: Created inside Dreamina
- Mode: Master
Sample 2 - Fast Mode
When re-running the same with Fast Mode, I noticed:
- Lower resolution
- Pixelation around the mouth
- Video generated without audio
This issue repeated with another test:
"If you're looking for directions I can get you lost three different ways."
- Video had no audio
- Error message: "Your video has been temporarily muted because the audio you uploaded may contain unauthorized music."
- This happened even though the audio only had speech from 11 Labs
When I regenerated the audio using a different 11 Labs voice, it worked.
Side Profile Performance
One test featured a side-profile character (not facing the camera):
"At this point, I'm not sure if I'm having a deep thought or just forgot why I came out here."
Lip sync performed surprisingly well.
Background Elements
In another test with a lady at a bus stop:
"One time I accidentally got on the wrong bus and ended up in a parade, and honestly it was the best Tuesday I ever had."
- Lip sync was good
- Background people and cars seemed frozen, reducing realism
Then, I tried Dreamina's own TTS voice for the same script. Result:
- No significant improvement regarding the frozen background elements
Other Sample Scenarios
Sage wisdom character:
"I used to have a 5-year plan, but now I just plan on making it to lunch without losing my mind."
Bank/customer service scenario:
"Of course we value your time, which is why we've designed this entire process to test your very last ounce of patience."
- I liked the hand gesture she makes at the end—it adds emotion.
Hardware store worker:
"If you can't find what you're looking for in there, just ask Jim. Unless you're looking for Jim, 'cause he's at lunch again."
- Minor blur in the hand gesture, but still acceptable
Text-to-Speech Example (Dreamina)
One test used a ChatGPT-4 generated image:
"When you left, I told you not to come back. But here you are, looking like walking regret."
- Voice used: Matilda from Dreamina
- Result: Not bad, but overused tone found in many short videos
Fast vs. Master Mode Comparison
Revisited the diner waitress scene:
"Yeah everything we got is gluten-free. We don't charge extra for the gluten."
- Compared Fast Mode vs. Master Mode side by side
- Master had better quality, but Fast was acceptable for short clips
Lip Syncing a Dog
"I heard the mailman again. Don't worry—I barked at him."
- Voice: Dreamina's "Wacky"
- Lip sync was fair
- Better than most other tools for syncing pet faces
