Refinement: Video Series
This video series introduces the lip-sync refinement workflow in DeepEditor, guiding you from assessing a vub and applying global performance controls through to refining individual mouth shapes (visemes). The tutorials are designed to be followed step by step, helping you build confidence whether you’re refining a first draft vub or progressing toward higher-quality results.
Part 1: Understanding the Refinement Interface & Applying Performance Controls
Steps 1–4
This first section focuses on how to read and assess a vub inside the refinement tool, and how to use controls that affect the application of performance and driving data as a whole.
These tools are not about individual mouth shapes yet. Instead, they help you answer questions like:
-
Is the vub working overall?
-
Does the performance feel too strong or too subtle?
-
Are jaw motion and timing believable?
-
How much of the driving performance should be applied?
You’ll learn how to navigate the refinement interface, evaluate lip-sync quality, and make broad adjustments before moving into fine detail work.
Videos in this section
Flawless Academy – DeepEditor Refinement Interface Tour
An overview of the refinement workspace, controls, and playback tools.
Flawless Academy – How to Assess a vub in DeepEditor (Step 1)
How to review a vub, identify issues, and decide what needs refinement.
Flawless Academy – How to Use Interpolation in DeepEditor Refinement (Step 2)
Learn how interpolation smooths motion and helps balance realism and stability.
Flawless Academy – How to Refine Jaw Movement in DeepEditor (Step 3)
Adjust jaw motion to improve physicality and speech believability.
Flawless Academy – How to Use Driving Data Scale in DeepEditor (Step 4)
Control how strongly the driving performance is applied to the source performance.
Tip: Completing this section first will significantly reduce the amount of detailed mouth-shape refinement required later.
Part 2: Refining Individual Mouth Shapes (Visemes)
Step 5
Once the overall performance feels solid, you can move into mouth-shape-specific refinement. These short tutorials focus on common visemes and phoneme groupings, showing how to correct articulation and improve clarity.
Each video is self-contained, so you can jump directly to the mouth shape you need to refine rather than watching them all in order.

Recommended Learning Path
If you’re new to refinement, we recommend following this order:
-
Watch all videos in Part 1 to understand the interface and overall performance controls.
-
Generate and review a draft vub.
-
Use Part 2 videos selectively, based on the mouth shapes that need attention in your shot.
This approach mirrors real-world workflows and helps you refine faster with fewer manual adjustments.
