Flawless ties visual dubbing to a documented consent step

The shot

Dubbing a film into another language traditionally leaves a visible mismatch: new audio, but the actor's mouth still shaped for the original language. Flawless, a company building AI-assisted post-production tools, documents a product called TrueSync built specifically to close that gap by adjusting an actor's on-screen facial performance to match a dubbed audio track, what the company's product page, retrieved 16 September 2026, calls visual dubbing, or vubbing, aimed at localization and dialogue changes without reshooting the actor.

What the documents show

Flawless's own documentation is specific about what TrueSync does and does not do to the underlying performance: the tool adjusts facial animation to match new dialogue and does not generate, replace, or synthesize faces, framing this as no identity reconstruction. Separately, the company's main site describes a named consent mechanism rather than a general promise: the Artistic Rights Treasury ensures that when AI assists in refining a performance, the actor reviews and consents to every change before release. That is a specific, checkable process claim, distinct from the page's broader language calling the result rights-respectful and copyright-safe by design, Flawless's own characterization rather than an independent legal finding. The product page names one credited theatrical use, Watch the Skies, released in United States theaters after being visually dubbed from Swedish, described as the first visually-dubbed film released theatrically and quoting producer Albin Pettersson, a verified production use sourced to the company's own case material.

The workflow

Per Flawless's own description of its pipeline, a production supplies the original master alongside dialogue already dubbed into a target language by any dub provider; the company states the technology is audio-agnostic and does not generate, modify, or synthesize audio. TrueSync then resyncs the on-screen facial performance to that new audio track frame by frame, the result is reviewed at high resolution against delivery standards, and final output moves through named post-production partners including Pixelogic and Deluxe before delivery.

What the tool does not change

The documentation frames the Artistic Rights Treasury consent step as built into how the company says it works with productions, but neither page describes the specific contractual or union process a production would use to secure that consent, nor does either page name which productions have actually used the process. The tool also does not replace the original dub itself; Flawless's own description states it only adjusts the visual performance to match audio a separate dubbing process already produced.

• What does this production's own agreement with its performers require before a visual dub is applied to their performance?
• Has the Artistic Rights Treasury review step, as Flawless describes it, actually been completed and documented for this shot?
• Does the underlying audio dub still need separate performer or union consent, independent of the visual sync?

Flawless documents both a specific technical boundary, no face synthesis, and a specific named consent process. Whether that process has actually been followed for a given production is a fact to confirm with the production, not something either page can establish on its own.
