How it works: Actors record alternate lines (e.g., ‘fricking’ instead of the ‘F’ word), and then True Sync matches that new audio to the actor’s mouth in the video. Then True Sync matches this new audio to the actor’s mouth in the video for a seamless transition. 效果: 该方法成功获得了 Rotten Tomatoes 的“Certified Fresh”认证，观众几乎没有注意到 AI 技术的应用。
