magic-hour-talking-video

Make a still portrait speak from supplied audio with Magic Hour Talking Photo, or lip-sync existing video to replacement audio. Use when Magic Hour is requested or configured and suitable. Both routes require audio; neither synthesizes speech from text. Preserve an explicitly requested alternative provider.

# Magic Hour talking video

Approve the spoken result before paying to animate a face. Lip sync cannot fix a mispronounced name or a sentence cut off by the timeline.

Use the supplied portrait, speech and language without asking for them again. Choose technical settings and perform delegated creative checks yourself; respect requested script/voice approvals and the existing total budget. Show the finished clip first, with an outstanding listening or language check made explicit. For recurring presenters or language versions, read [speech and localization](references/localization.md).
