Changing one line of dialogue after the clip exists
Four entries document a way to change what is said in video that already exists. Three move the mouths to new audio and keep the picture. One also offers to act a short clip again with the new line, which fits the delivery to the words at the cost of a slightly shifted picture. As of 2026-10-13.
| Model | What can change | What stays as it was |
|---|---|---|
| PixVerse | The speech, from built-in or custom voices, with the mouth re-synced | The supplied video, up to sixty seconds |
| SceneMixer | The words or the voice, by lip sync or by re-performing clips up to 15 seconds | The picture frame for frame on lip sync; the ambience is dropped |
| sync-3 | The mouth, matched to new audio or to text | The supplied video |
| Synthesia | The language, in a dubbing project with locales added | The uploaded video asset |
Inclusion rule. Entries whose documentation describes changing the speech of a video that already exists, whether generated by that entry or supplied to it. Order. Alphabetical by model name.
1Moving the mouth or performing the line again
A lip-sync pass keeps every frame and redraws the mouth to match new audio. The picture that was approved stays approved; what changes is the speech and the shape of the lips. A re-performance generates the clip again with the new line, so the timing, breath and gesture fit the words, and the picture may move a little in the process.
Only one entry documents both, priced differently: lip sync at a credit a second on any length, re-performance at twice the tier's generation rate and only up to fifteen seconds.
2The new line has to fit the time already on screen
A lip-sync pass cannot lengthen the shot. A replacement line that runs longer than the original has to be delivered faster or cut, which is why the redub documentation advises keeping the new words short enough to fit. At roughly three spoken words a second the arithmetic is quick, and doing it before pressing the button saves a pass.
3The voice can change without the words
Swapping who a line sounds like is a separate operation from changing what it says. One entry lists every line of a clip with its speaker and a voice that can be exchanged for another from its library, applied to that clip only, while the character's own voice setting stays as it was.
That separation is useful in review, where a performance can be right and the casting wrong, and the fix should not touch the performance.
4Where the changed words are kept
Tools that work on an uploaded cut have no script to update, so the production's own copy drifts from what is on screen unless someone edits it by hand. One entry writes the changed lines back into the storyboard, so the text and the clip agree after the redub.

- Per-character bindingThe chosen speaker id is passed as the lip-sync speaker on the generation requesta speaker id per call
- Length per callAudio and video are each capped at sixty seconds and one hundred megabytes
- Changing a lineLip sync keeps the picture frame for frame, voices every line again and moves the mouths to match, dropping the original ambience, at 1 credit per second on clips of any lengthpicture kept

- Changing the voice in a finished clipIn a redub each line carries a voice that can be swapped for another from the library without changing the words, for that clip only
