A plain-language guide: lip sync vs mimic motion

Keep this page handy the next time you need a quick talking clip and do not want to open a video editor.

A note I keep at the top of this repo so I pick the right Fameo tool.

If the viewer should notice…	Use
A line of speech or a song	talking photo generator (or the pet, cartoon, drawing, singing, or multi-talk pages)
A wave, a dance step, a gesture	copy a video’s movement onto a photo

Mimic motion takes a photo plus a motion video (MP4 or MOV, up to 120 seconds and under 20 MB) or a preset. You can keep the photo’s background or use the video’s, and render at 480p or 720p. A clear, single, front-facing full or half-body shot works better than a tight head crop.

Lip sync takes an image plus text or audio and returns a talking video in minutes.

Both require authorized media. I do not copy a performer’s movement or a person’s face without permission. Start at Fameo.

Keep a short checklist next to you: approved image, short script, one review pass, then export.
