sync. and Kapwing are partnering to make video creation smarter, faster, and more creative.

At sync., we've always aimed to develop a general AI model capable of lip-syncing any face without pre-training. We're the team behind Wav2Lip, the world's first zero-shot lip-sync model, open-sourced four years ago. Since then, multiple models have been released in the market, but all require training footage. With sync., anyone can now create AI personas instantly—no training footage needed.

We’re excited to announce that Kapwing is now leveraging sync.’s latest models to create AI Personas. AI Personas allow users to create talking-head videos without any training footage required—all that’s needed is 15 seconds of initial footage. Together, we’re making it easier than ever to create content that’s polished, precise, and ready to engage global audiences.

Working together with Kapwing

Kapwing is renowned as one of the best web-based video editing platforms available. It's a one-stop solution for creators to edit, trim, resize, add subtitles, and access many other tools to create videos effortlessly. Their user-friendly workflows make the entire video editing process remarkably smooth.

At sync., we've always wanted to partner with a company like Kapwing to make our tools available to a wider audience. After all, nothing gives innovators more satisfaction than seeing their tools used by millions of people. When we learned about Kapwing's video editing tool and how much its users love it, we were thrilled at the prospect of our AI-powered lip-sync being a great addition to their platform.

Since we started working together, we've seen Kapwing strive to bring best-in-class AI-powered video capabilities to their users. They've been quick to experiment with our new models and provide feedback to improve them, ensuring their users have a great experience. When they came up with the idea for "AI Personas," we realized they understand how to leverage sync. models better than anyone else. While others are offering AI avatar features that require training footage and hours or days of processing, Kapwing made the smart decision to use sync. to bring AI Personas that work off the shelf, without training.

How sync. works in Kapwing

With sync. integrated into Kapwing's video editor, you can now create personas from your own videos and leverage sync.'s precise lip-sync technology to bring your projects to life. Here's what this means for creators:

• AI Personas: sync. eliminates the tedious task of manually syncing voiceovers with video, saving creative teams hours while delivering studio-quality results. Kapwing uses this technology to power their AI Personas feature. Creators can choose from multiple sync. models, directly within the Kapwing editor.

• Global Ready: sync. makes cross-cultural communication effortless with dubbed voiceovers, perfect for creators localizing content into new languages or adapting videos for different markets. Kapwing’s AI Personas come with built-in support for over 29 languages.

Beginning of a great partnership

We are thrilled to power Kapwing workflows with sync. This is just the beginning, and we have multiple other AI capabilities in the pipeline that could make video editing as fluid as editing a word document. We can't wait to see how Kapwing's users will use sync. to create videos!
