  • aligning bad lip singing to audio

    I’m trying to align the lips of the singer to the audio of a music video. Some places are late some early and some in sync. First I found everything was late after a certain point, so I made a cut after an in sync syllable and then another cut before where it is late. I could use the Clip Speed/Duration Window with rolling edit checked to get most of it in sync. Now that most of it is more or less in sync, how do I tighten up specific areas without moving the parts that are in sync?

    I was thinking to make several cuts and play with the speed, speeding some and slowing others in a balanced way without the rolling edit checked, zooming in at the end of the area to make sure the frames meet the remainder part. Right now I’m rendering so I can’t try it. But what I’m really wondering is how professionals go about such a task. Is there another way?
    TIA

    Here’s a painstaking method of making video match to audio with After Effects and Twixtor:

    It should be possible to adapt the same idea to Premiere using Time Remapping and optical flow frame blending. Haven’t tried it, but I would expect it to work.

    Thanks. The main problem seems to be establishing some anchor points. I’m going to try my best with just Pr.
