Realism that holds up over full-length video
Most talking-photo tools break down past a few seconds — the face drifts, the voice desyncs, and the emotion flattens. Model 2.0 is built for videos up to 30 minutes, keeping identity, lip-sync, and expression consistent frame by frame. You get real facial expressions and hand gestures, not just a moving mouth, with control over movement intensity, pacing, and eye focus. Drive it two ways: a photo plus audio or a script for a talking video, or a photo plus a driving video to transfer motion and performance from any clip. We put that realism in front of 100 people next to footage of a real person — more of them picked the AI. The same model runs behind our video generation API.
