# lipsync-2

lipsync-2 is a zero-shot lip synchronization model that aligns spoken audio to existing video while preserving the speaker’s identity and natural speaking style. It works across live-action, animation, and AI-generated footage without training or fine-tuning.

- **ID**: `sync:lipsync-2@1`
- **Status**: api-only
- **Creator**: sync.
- **Release Date**: August 20, 2025
- **Capabilities**: Text to Audio, Video to Video, Audio to Audio, Audio to Video

## Pricing

$0.0440 per second

- **Per second of audio**: `$0.0440`

## Compatibility & Validation

`audioStartTime` and `audioEndTime` must be used together (in `providerSettings.sync.segments`).

## Request Parameters

**API Options**

Platform-level options for task execution and delivery.

### [outputFormat](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sync-lipsync-2#request-outputformat)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Default**: `MP4`

Specifies the file format of the generated output. The available values depend on the task type and the specific model's capabilities.

- \`MP4\`: Widely supported video container (H.264), recommended for general use.
- \`WEBM\`: Optimized for web delivery.
- \`MOV\`: QuickTime format, common in professional workflows (Apple ecosystem).

**Allowed values**: `MP4` `WEBM` `MOV`

### [outputQuality](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sync-lipsync-2#request-outputquality)

- **Type**: `integer`
- **Min**: `20`
- **Max**: `99`
- **Default**: `95`

Compression quality of the output. Higher values preserve quality but increase file size.

### [webhookURL](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sync-lipsync-2#request-webhookurl)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a webhook URL where JSON responses will be sent via HTTP POST when generation tasks complete. For batch requests with multiple results, each completed item triggers a separate webhook call as it becomes available.

### [deliveryMethod](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sync-lipsync-2#request-deliverymethod)

- **Type**: `string`

### [uploadEndpoint](https://runware.ai/docs/models/sync-lipsync-2#request-uploadendpoint)

- **Type**: `string`
- **Format**: `URI`

Specifies a URL where the generated content will be automatically uploaded using the HTTP PUT method. The raw binary data of the media file is sent directly as the request body. For secure uploads to cloud storage, use presigned URLs that include temporary authentication credentials.

- **CDN integration**: Upload to content delivery networks for immediate distribution.

```text
// S3 presigned URL for secure upload
https://your-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/generated/content.mp4?X-Amz-Signature=abc123&X-Amz-Expires=3600

// Google Cloud Storage presigned URL
https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket/content.jpg?X-Goog-Signature=xyz789
