Audio Lip-Sync Pro

Audio Lip-Sync Pro is a Blender plugin developed by the Singapore-based company Holotype. Its function is to automatically generate lip-motion animations for characters based on an input audio file. Simply drag the audio file into Blender’s video sequence editor, and the plugin will create keyframes for any mesh that has been assigned ARKit blendshape keys, eliminating the need to manually adjust the lip movements frame by frame.

All processing is done locally; there is no need to register an account, subscribe, or connect to the internet, making it particularly suitable for projects that require confidentiality. It supports multiple languages for audio playback, with English and Mandarin being reported as offering the best results. The software requires Blender 4.5 or a later version, and the model must have been pre-configured with ARKit support.

The free version only processes the first 5 seconds of the audio, making it ideal for trying out the functionality before making a purchase. The full version costs $40 and allows you to process audio of any length without any restrictions. Holotype has also developed additional plugins such as LiveLinkFace and Image2Expression, making it particularly suitable for independent animators, creators of virtual characters, and developers of in-game cutscenes.

I want to create a continuous narrative rather than individual shots.TVLabThere is a serialized web novel that is updated chapter by chapter. The character settings and storyboard scripts can be copied with just one click, making it very convenient to use such video tools when creating consecutive episodes of the series.
