THE TALKING-PHOTO VARIANT

Meet MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync, the AI talking photo model

Lip Sync is the talking-head member of the MiniMax H3 Max family, built for one job the others do not do: making a still face speak. Where the parent model generates video from a prompt or an image, Lip Sync takes a portrait and an audio track and animates the mouth to match what it hears. Use it for virtual presenters, narrated talking-head content, and character stills dubbed into another language.

5 TO 14.8 SECONDS · UP TO 2K

Lip-synced video up to 2K, from 5 to 14.8 seconds of audio

Generate at 480p, 768p, 1080p or 2K, with the aspect ratio taken from the image you upload rather than set separately. The audio decides the length, anywhere from 5 to 14.8 seconds, so there is no duration field to get wrong and no silence padded onto the end. Keep the same portrait and swap the track to produce another take - a reworded line, a translated read, a shorter cut - and the presenter looks identical in every version.

  • Keep the portrait's aspect ratio
MOUTH FOLLOWS THE SOUND

AI lip sync that follows the voice you upload

Bring your own audio and the model reads it frame by frame, driving the mouth to match the sound rather than approximating speech. Because the voice is yours, the delivery, accent and pacing are whatever you recorded - nothing is synthesised and nothing is guessed. The face in the photo stays the face in the video, so a presenter you have already shot or generated keeps their likeness across everything they say.

TRANSCRIPT OPTIONAL

Add a transcript when the audio gets difficult

Most tracks need nothing more than the audio file. When the speech is fast, the accent is strong or the recording is noisy, pass the words alongside it and the model uses them to guide the sync. It stays optional throughout, so you only reach for it on the takes that need it rather than transcribing everything up front.
