Yes — lip-sync the close-up sung lines. Not every shot.
Precise lip-sync is 50 credits on a clip you already shot. It adds mouth movement. It does not reshoot. Singer performance is a separate picture change. Finished clips longer than 15 seconds stay disabled.
You can lip-sync a Suno music video. Do it on the faces that sing.
Precise lip-sync is a 50-credit pass over a clip you already shot. It does not reshoot, it does not require Singer performance, and it stays off when the finished video is longer than 15 seconds or has no audio. Mark close-up sung lines — on the web, Shift-select them — and leave wide shots alone.
Features
What Precise lip-sync is — and what it is not
You already have a take. Precise lip-sync puts the mouth on the vocal. The rest of the frame stays. If you wanted a new picture, that is a reshoot, not this button.
50 credits, no reshoot
Fixed 50 credits per clip. The original video URL stays. The lipsynced take is a separate file the player prefers when it is ready.
Singer performance is another job
Singer performance changes the picture. After a clip is shot, Precise lip-sync does not ask you to turn that switch on first.
Keeps the resolution you shot
There is no separate 720P upsell on this button. A 480P close-up stays 480P. A 720P close-up stays 720P.
The gates — why the button is sometimes off
The disabled hint must match the real reason. It is never “turn on Singer performance” on a clip you already finished.
Shot, with audio, 15 seconds or under
The clip must be completed, have audio, and the finished video duration must be 15 seconds or less. The lyric range on the timeline can look shorter than the file.
Close-up sung lines only
Mark the faces that sing. Wide shots, B-roll, and instrumental bars do not need mouths. Do not run this on every clip in the song.
Shift-select on the web
On suno.bi, Shift-select clips on the timeline, storyboard, or score, then right-click Precise lip-sync. You do not open fifteen editors.
Six steps from a sung close-up to a matching mouth
No new picture. No fifteen editors. Shoot the face, confirm the 15-second gate, run Precise lip-sync, wait a few minutes.
1
Shoot the close-up first
Precise lip-sync needs a completed clip. If the take is not shot yet, shoot it. Lip-sync will not invent the frame.
2
Check audio and the 15-second file
The gate reads the finished video duration, not the shorter lyric range on the timeline. No audio, or over 15 seconds, keeps the button off.
3
Select the sung faces
One clip in the editor, or Shift-select several on the web timeline, storyboard, or score. Skip wide shots and instrumental bars.
4
Run Precise lip-sync (50 credits)
This is not a reshoot. The original take stays. Singer performance is a different picture change — you do not turn it on first.
5
Wait about two to three minutes
The job usually returns in a few minutes. Failed runs refund the 50 credits. There is no separate resolution picker on this pass.
6
Export as usual
The player prefers the lipsynced file when it is ready. Lyric and waveform overlays in export are unrelated and cost nothing.
Where Precise lip-sync actually pays off
Use it where a mouth is on camera and a lyric is on the vocal. Everywhere else, skip it.
Chorus close-ups
The hook face, usually under 15 seconds. One 50-credit pass beats reshooting the same chorus for 205 credits on a 9-second 480P take.
The same chorus, later in the song
A repeated close-up still needs its own pass. Shift-select both on the web instead of opening each editor.
Leave the wide shots
Establishing shots, hands, and B-roll do not need mouths. Save the 50 credits for faces that sing.
Common mistakes
These are the ways people burn the wrong credits or stare at a disabled button.
Lip-syncing every clip
A full song is mostly not a singing close-up. Mark the faces. Leave the rest.
Mixing 50 credits with a reshoot
Reshoot price follows the video model, duration, and resolution. Precise lip-sync is always 50 credits and never replaces a reshoot.
Waiting on Singer performance
On a finished clip that is not a gate. The real reasons are: not shot, finished video over 15 seconds, or no audio.

This page is the lip-sync how-to. These pages own the neighbouring jobs.
Lip-sync in a music video is matching an on-screen mouth to a vocal that already exists. The picture can be filmed or generated; the job is the same: visemes land when the words are sung, so a close-up does not look dubbed.
What is the difference between generating a clip and refining one?
Generating a clip starts from a prompt or a still and produces new frames. Refining a clip keeps the take you have and changes one layer — here, the mouth — instead of replacing the shot. Image-to-video is generation; a lip-sync pass on finished footage is refinement.

Suno users generate roughly 7 million songs per day — enough new audio every two weeks to match a 100-million-track catalog. As of February 2026 the service had passed 100 million users. Most of those songs never get a picture, so a close-up that actually sings is how a track leaves the generator page.
Deezer reports that 44% of tracks newly uploaded each day are fully AI-generated (about 75,000 a day, up from 10,000 a day in January 2025). The bottleneck moved from making the song to getting it seen — which is why a 50-credit mouth pass on a sung close-up is worth more than another unwatched take.
