Character Lip-Sync from Reference Image and Timing Video
An image-to-video prompt that locks a character's appearance to a supplied reference image and uses a blacked-out video for motion timing while audio drives the spoken dialogue. The result is a medium-shot talking performance with realistic mouth movement and head nods.
Prompt (original, unmodified)
@Image1 is the exact character. @Video1 blacked provides timing. Audio drives speech. She says: “[exact dialogue]”. Realistic mouth, nods, identical look. Medium shot.
