Why we like it

Earns its place in the Superhive library for automatic, offline lip sync in Blender using either shape keys or pose actions, with reference guides included.

What is Autolipsync Pro?

AutoLipSync Pro is a Blender addon that analyzes speech audio, converts it to text, and maps phonemes to viseme shape keys or pose actions to drive character lip movement. It runs 100% offline, with no internet connection required—everything processes locally. The addon needs only 13 shape keys or pose actions to generate lip sync, and it ships with reference guides for creating the necessary shape keys or actions.

It supports both shape key-based animation and rig control-based animation through pose actions, and works similarly to iClone AccuLips. Audio-to-text transcription runs in real time so Blender's UI stays responsive while transcription happens in the background. A built-in audio converter prepares files for processing, automatic eye blinking adds natural motion, and multi-language support uses phoneme matching.

Version 1.3 adds integration with Blender's Video Sequence Editor, letting you send audio into the VSE, preview it in the timeline, and set audio start and end frames for precise timing. A new layering system lets you keep existing lip sync and append new audio starting at any frame, so multiple dialogue clips combine in one timeline without overwriting prior animation.

Who is Autolipsync Pro best for?

Autolipsync Pro is best for blender artists animating character dialogue who want automatic lip sync from audio using shape keys or pose actions.

How much does Autolipsync Pro cost?

Autolipsync Pro is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does AutoLipSync Pro support?

AutoLipSync Pro has been tested on Blender 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1, and is described as fully functional on these versions without issues. Version 1.3 was updated for compatibility with the latest Blender versions, including 5.1. If you work across several Blender releases, the addon covers a wide span, but check the developer's page for the most current compatibility details before installing on any newer or unlisted version.

Does AutoLipSync Pro need an internet connection?

AutoLipSync Pro works 100% offline, so no internet connection is needed—everything runs locally on your computer, including the voice recognition and speech-to-text processing. This means audio never leaves your machine during transcription. The addon transcribes speech to text in real time rather than freezing Blender until the process completes, and the UI stays responsive so you can continue working while transcription runs in the background.

Which operating systems does AutoLipSync Pro run on?

AutoLipSync Pro supports Windows and Linux. It has been fully tested on Windows 10 and Windows 11, and on Debian-based Linux systems. Other Linux distributions may also work but have not been officially tested yet. If you run a distribution outside Debian, you may still be able to use the addon, though the developer notes it is unverified. Check the developer's page for the latest platform testing notes before relying on it in production.

Can AutoLipSync Pro combine multiple dialogue clips in one timeline?

AutoLipSync Pro includes a layering system that lets you keep existing lip sync animation and add new audio starting at any frame, such as from frame 150 to 300. Previously, new lip sync would overwrite the previous animation or always start from frame 0. Now the old animation stays intact and the new one appends correctly, so you can combine multiple dialogue clips in one timeline and build multi-scene conversations.

Is AutoLipSync Pro free?

AutoLipSync Pro is listed as free in this catalog. Because licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page on Superhive for the current details before downloading. The addon is at version 1.3, which added VSE integration, audio start and end frame control, the keep-existing-lip-sync layering system, performance improvements, Blender 5.1 support, and an improved automatic eye blink system.
