ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement)
In short: ADR is the traditional post-production process of re-recording dialogue in a studio, now increasingly augmented or replaced by AI lip sync and voice synthesis technology.
About ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement)
Automated Dialogue Replacement, also known as Additional Dialogue Recording or looping, is a standard film and television technique where actors re-record their lines in a studio to replace on-set audio that may have quality issues. Traditionally, the actor watches the original footage and tries to match their new performance to their existing lip movements.
AI lip sync inverts this workflow: instead of requiring the new audio to match existing mouth movements, the system modifies the mouth movements to match the new audio. This AI-driven approach is faster, more consistent, and enables dialogue changes without requiring the original actor to be available.
How ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) Connects to Lip Sync
ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) relates to several other concepts in the AI lip sync pipeline: Audio Mixing , and Video Dubbing .
