UGC Lipsync Videos for Song Promotion: Make Your Character Sing Your Track
UGC Lipsync takes one character image and your song snippet and produces a video where the character is lip-synced to the audio, in 9:16 by default. An optional movement video makes the character copy body motion first, and the normal text step adds lyrics and captions on top.

What UGC lipsync is for
User generated content style ads work because they look like a person talking to the phone. Lipsync lets you create that format without filming: the character is a picture, the voice is your song. It suits hooks, reaction style posts and character-led storytelling around a release.
The steps
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| Audio | Choose the snippet that the character will sing |
| Character | Add one character image and optionally one movement video |
| Variations | Optionally generate variations and choose the character image to use |
| Text | Generate or correct lyrics, set timing and add overlays. Generation starts here |
There is no cut assembly in this mode. It makes a single clip and the text step puts the captions on top.
Movement video and webcam recording
Without a movement video, the character is animated straight from the image. With one, the character first copies the body motion of the reference, and then the lip sync is applied. You can upload a movement clip or record one with your webcam. The recorder accepts clips between 3 and 30 seconds and adds the recording as a movement video, so you can act out the motion yourself.
Lyrics and captions
Lyrics and captions work like in the other modes. Lyrics are timed to the audio and shown as captions, and you can add text hooks and the cover overlay. If you change the character image or variation and generate again, the old clip is dropped and the page shows that the new one is starting, so you never publish a stale video by mistake.
Tips for good results
Use a clear front-facing character image with a visible face. Pick a snippet with a clear vocal, because lipsync follows the voice. Keep the movement reference simple. Then make several characters or hooks and use the bulk workflow to test them, as in bulk ad creative variations. The overall workflow is in the creative generator overview.
