The mouth doesn't match the words in my Hit the Road Dude clip

Updated:

Short answer

The lips are told to follow every line, but the model can lose track when the mouth is hard to see. Use a sharp, front-facing photo with nothing over the mouth, whether mask, scarf or hand, and run again if needed.

Questions people ask

Do loose lips mean the render failed?

No. A failure is a render that didn't complete, and it refunds automatically. A completed clip with loose sync is normal.

Do animals sync like people?

Usually less precisely, since their faces are built differently. Expect a cartoon feel.

Is an editor able to repair it?

You could mute the voices and lay yours over the silent download, but the lip movement itself stays.
