sync-labs-lipsync

sync-labs-lipsync is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (6,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Sync Labs’ service for changing a speaker’s mouth movements in an existing talking video so they match new audio, or animating a single face image with audio on supported models.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for translating spoken videos, correcting or replacing dialogue, personalizing clips, synchronizing interviews, and animating portrait photos with voice audio.
Why use it?
It helps developers automate dubbing and audio replacement while preserving the surrounding person and scene instead of generating an entirely new video.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sync-labs-lipsync scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 416 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sync Labs lip sync and visual dubbing

Sync Labs (product domain sync.so, API host api.sync.so) is a hosted API and web studio that regenerates a speaker's mouth (and, on newer models, jaw/expression/head) to match a new audio track. It does not generate whole people or scenes: the input is an existing talking-head video (or, on sync-3, a single still face), plus target audio (a file, a hosted URL, or text synthesized through an integrated TTS provider). Everything outside the driven face region — background, body, hair, clothing — is left untouched and composited around the regenerated face. (Documented: sync.so/docs introduction and "how AI lip sync works", verified 2026-07-10.)

Use this skill when the job is: dubbing/localizing a video into another language, re-timing lips to corrected or re-recorded audio (ADR-style), personalizing a base video with per-recipient names, cutting podcast/interview clips with clean lips, or animating a portrait photo from a voiceover. Do not reach for it to generate a face from scratch, to swap identities, or to produce a full avatar from text alone — those are different product categories.

What the models are and how to choose

All model facts below are from sync.so/docs (models pages and pricing), verified 2026-07-10. Prices are quoted per second of output at 25 fps and move with plan tier, so treat them as dated reference, not a contract.

Model ID Face resolution Obstruction handling Speed (docs) Price/sec @25fps Built for
lipsync-1.9.0-beta face crop none ~3x real-time (fastest) $0.02–0.025 cheap, simple, frontal clips; generic mouth motion
lipsync-2 512×512 crop optional (occlusion_detection_enabled) ~1x real-time $0.04–0.05 general-purpose default; preserves each speaker's style
lipsync-2-pro 512×512 + diffusion super-res optional ~0.5–0.7x (1.5–2x slower than lipsync-2) $0.067–0.083 premium detail on beards, teeth, fine facial features
sync-3 4K native, full-shot automatic, built-in fast (processes whole shot at once) $0.107–0.133 close-ups, profiles/extreme angles, partial faces, still-image input
react-1 expression/head editing short clips only (see pricing page) change emotion, expression, and head motion, not just lips

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
