Lips out of sync in my I Wanna Love You video: what now?

Updated:

Short answer

A late-starting sound or judging the preview causes most of it. Use the full 10-second video, begin the original sound at 0 seconds and see whether the first open mouth hits the first note. A few frames of drift can remain. Another run may sit closer.

Questions people ask

Does bad sync mean the video failed?

No. Failed means unfinished, and credits come back by themselves. Drift in a finished video is a normal outcome.

Where does the music under my video come from?

A quiet backing track comes with the picture. Prefer none? Use the silent download.

Can I use the full song instead?

Poorly. We time to the short viral clip, and the full song opens differently.

Serenade the camera your own way

Add a photo. Every pack includes bonus previews, so you can check your photos before spending a credit. The finished video has no watermark, and there is no subscription.
