Step-by-Step Guide: Lip Sync for DaVinci Resolve

Import your source footage into the Media Pool

Open DaVinci Resolve and import your video footage into the Media Pool on the Media page. Organize your clips in bins for a clean project structure.

Export the clip for lip sync processing

Switch to the Deliver page and export the specific clip you want to lip sync as MP4 (H.264 or H.265). Set the resolution and frame rate to match your project timeline settings.

Upload to Sync with your dubbed audio

Open Sync and upload your exported clip along with the new audio track. Sync will process the lip sync, adjusting mouth movements to match the dubbed audio.

Download the processed lip synced clip

Download the lip synced video from Sync. Play it back to verify that the mouth movements look natural and the audio alignment is accurate.

Import back into DaVinci Resolve's Media Pool

Bring the lip synced clip into your DaVinci Resolve project by importing it into the Media Pool. It will appear as a new media item ready for the timeline.

Place on your timeline and match color grade

Drag the lip synced clip onto your Edit page timeline. Switch to the Color page and use DaVinci's color matching tools to ensure the lip synced clip matches the grade of surrounding footage.

Final render from the Deliver page

Go to the Deliver page, choose your output format and codec (H.265 or ProRes recommended), and render the final project. DaVinci's rendering engine will produce a high-quality output.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DaVinci Resolve have built-in lip sync capabilities? +

DaVinci Resolve does not include native AI lip sync. However, its Fusion compositing engine can be used to manually blend lip synced footage from external tools. The Fairlight audio engine is excellent for preparing and aligning audio tracks before sending footage to a lip sync tool.

Can I use the free version of DaVinci Resolve for lip sync workflows? +

Yes. The free version of DaVinci Resolve handles all basic lip sync integration tasks: importing lip synced footage, editing it into timelines, color matching, and exporting in common formats. Studio features like advanced noise reduction and HDR tools are helpful but not essential for lip sync work.

What is the best round-trip workflow between DaVinci Resolve and lip sync tools? +

Export individual clips from DaVinci in ProRes or DNxHR format using the Deliver page. Process them through your lip sync tool, then reimport the results. Place the lip synced clips on a track above the originals so you can easily compare and switch between versions during review.

How does DaVinci Resolve's Fusion page help with lip sync? +

Fusion provides node-based compositing that can isolate and blend the mouth region from lip synced footage onto original clips. This is useful when the AI lip sync output has artifacts outside the mouth area that you want to replace with original footage. Fusion's tracking and masking tools make this a streamlined process.

Is DaVinci Resolve better than Premiere Pro for lip sync editing? +

Both editors handle lip sync integration well. DaVinci Resolve's advantages include its free version, built-in Fusion compositing, and excellent color tools. Premiere Pro's advantages include broader plugin ecosystem and tighter Adobe Creative Cloud integration. Choose based on your existing workflow.
