Facial Reanimation
In short: Facial reanimation is the broader concept of modifying or generating facial movements in video, encompassing lip sync as well as full expression transfer and head pose changes.
About Facial Reanimation
Facial reanimation goes beyond lip sync to include transferring entire facial expressions, head movements, and emotional states from one source to another. While lip sync focuses specifically on matching mouth movements to audio, facial reanimation can involve driving a face with another face (expression transfer), generating natural blinks and eyebrow movements, or animating a still image into a full video performance.
Lip sync is a specialized subset of facial reanimation that prioritizes audio-visual alignment over broader expression control.
