TBDub: Production-Oriented Visual Dubbing

TaoLive AIGC · Alibaba Group

High-quality lip sync. Fast, multilingual, and robust.

01

Audio-driven video results

Qualitative results cover multilingual self-driven reconstruction, redrawing of MiniMax H3 generated videos, and cross-audio driving under large poses, occlusion, rapid head motion, and unconstrained real-world conditions. Video is more informative than isolated frames for evaluating synchronization, oral detail, and temporal stability.

02

Method

TBDub builds on the mask-free, reference-conditioned video editor of X-Dub/Wan. The complete source video and motion context constrain identity and spatiotemporal structure, while frame-aligned speech controls target articulation. Production-domain post-training yields a 30-step Teacher, which task-aware DMD2 compresses into a two-step Student.

END-TO-END PIPELINE REFERENCE VIDEO + DRIVING AUDIO → DUBBED VIDEO
TBDub method pipeline

The generative backbone is inherited from X-Dub/Wan: the complete reference video and motion context constrain identity and spatiotemporal structure, while frame-aligned audio controls speech-related target dynamics.

TRAINING & DISTILLATION

Production adaptation and two-step distillation

TBDub uses two consecutive stages: task-adaptive post-training produces a 30-step Teacher, and conditional DMD2 compresses it into a two-step Student.

03

Evaluation

We compare the 30-step Teacher, two-step EMA Student, and representative methods through objective metrics and subjective MOS on 38 randomly sampled TalkVid clips.

↑ Higher is better ↓ Lower is better ↔ Edit magnitude only GT LSE reference only
04

Efficiency

The two-step Student sharply reduces DiT computation while largely retaining the Teacher's visual quality, identity consistency, and audiovisual synchronization.
