Introduction
We’re excited to announce that the Latent Sync Workflow is now available in ComfyUI on RunDiffusion! This powerful workflow is specifically designed to enhance lip-syncing workflows. Whether you're creating AI-generated videos where mouth movements must match audio or building intricate art pipelines, Latent Sync is a great addition.
In this article, we'll cover what Latent Sync is, why it matters for lip-syncing, and how you can start using it today on RunDiffusion.
What is Latent Sync?
Latent Sync helps ensure consistent results across your ComfyUI workflow when creating lip-synced videos or talking avatars. In lip-syncing workflows — where audio-driven facial expressions must align frame-by-frame — small inconsistencies can cause unnatural flickering or distortions.
Latent Sync solves this by keeping your outputs smooth, believable, and aligned throughout your project, resulting in professional-quality mouth movements and animations.
Why Latent Sync Matters
- 📹 Seamless Lip-Sync Animations: Essential for matching audio-driven mouth movements.
- 🎥 Perfect Frame-to-Frame Consistency: Critical for AI-generated videos.
- 🔄 Workflow Flexibility: Supports advanced pipelines.
- 🎨 Higher Quality Outputs: Reduces unwanted flickering or distortion artifacts.
If you've ever tried generating lip-synced videos or dynamic talking avatars in ComfyUI, you’ll immediately appreciate the difference.
