In this video, I test three cutting-edge AI tools — Trellis, Hunyuan3D, and Rodin — to see how far this technology has come. I walk through the entire process from image generation to mesh cleanup to 3D printing the final results. Spoiler: some were surprisingly good… and some were total fails. Along the way, we’ll talk about how these tools actually work under the hood, the ethical challenges around AI and copyright, and what this all means for artists, designers, and makers in the years ahead.

AI Lip Sync Battle – 6 Tools Put To The Test!

Excelerator 8.59K subscribers 28,701 views Mar 15, 2025

Let’s compare some AI Lip Sync tools! I created 4 sets of characters and audio, and generated AI Lip Sync videos with each set in 6 different AI lip-sync video generators. I’ll show you the results of each generation (not cherry-picked!) and then I’ll give you a quick rundown of how to generate an AI lip sync video in that tool, and the pricing. There are a few “extra” generations near the end. You decide which lip sync tool does the best job! Since I did NOT keep going with each one to be able to show you an amazing result every time (again, no cherry picking!) Keep in mind that you might get better results that what I’m sharing by making some changes to your starting image/video or adjusting the settings in some of these tools. ▶️Tools used in this video: Hedra – https://excelerator.tech/GetHedra/ Kling – https://excelerator.tech/get/kling/ CapCut – https://excelerator.tech/getcapcut/ Sync.so – https://excelerator.tech/get/sync-so/ Vozo – https://excelerator.tech/get/vozo/ TalkingAvatar.ai – https://excelerator.tech/get/talkinga… Gooey – https://excelerator.tech/get/gooey-ai/ RunwayML – https://excelerator.tech/GetRunway/ *Audio for these Lip Sync generations created in ElevenLabs 👉 https://excelerator.tech/getelevenlabs/ *Starting images of the subjects created in OpenArt 👉 https://excelerator.tech/getopenart/ I am an affiliate for some of the products & services I share, which means that if you make a purchase after clicking on one of my links, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
