Dreamina AI drops OmniHuman-1 a new image-to-video model that lip-syncs your portraits with audio and real gestures. It's not perfect but it's a sharp new option in the AI video space.
"‹Dreamina AI was developed by CapCut, a subsidiary of ByteDance (company behind TikTok). It offeres a host of features form text to image, to image to video, but most interesting one is it's lip sync.
Dreamina's OmniHuman-1 is built to take one still image plus a voice track and spit out a short clip that actually feels human. We’re talking spot-on lip sync expressive gestures and even full-body movement if your source image supports it.
Just drop in an image and audio (or text and select one of the pre-built voices) and you’ll get a 15-second clip that feels personal polished and ready to post. Want vertical? Horizontal? 4:3 nostalgia-core? It’s got you.
And it’s not just for face crops. The model works with full-body shots too and keeps proportions tight so gestures don’t go off the rails.
It also does some animal lip sync, though success rate may vary (check examples below).
Creators can roll out quick clips that look like studio-quality puppet animation. Marketers can humanize brand messages without booking talent. Teachers could make explainer avatars. Game devs and VR creators get a boost too since it gives you a fast way to prototype lifelike characters without a modeling budget.
Right now you’re capped at 15 seconds and the AI handles all the direction. You can’t feed it a prompt like “look left” or in any way drive the animation, you get what it gives. But it's pretty good.

Surreal, imaginative yet realistic scene shows a man climbing through a magical portal shaped like a vintage TV into a beach out of his poor looking boring appartment.

Her eyes are closed, then she opens them wide. another elderly cat chariot rider competing with her, seen blurred out in the back to the side of her, a policeman comically running around waving at them to stop seen briefly as the chariots race forward
Camera tracks a realistic tanned blonde woman in white top and denim shorts walking forward in an anime-style illustration environment. Behind the woman are more vividly colored shrubs and trees. She briefly looks around as if wondering how she got there. Little white bird is flying near the subtly moving white clouds, soft breeze billowing the plants and tree leaves.
A humanoid zebra in a puffed red dress bounds across the surface of a dark, moonlit lake. Her striped legs splash with each graceful leap, sending ripples and golden and violet fish flying playfully into the air. A dreamy motion blur trails behind her—three ghostly afterimages fading into the watery dusk. Bioluminescent glimmers shimmer below the water’s surface, casting soft reflections onto her dress. The atmosphere is whimsical yet otherworldly, as though time itself hesitates to catch up.
A woman stands tall under a turquoise sky before a bold green "AICREATORS.TOOLS" sign. A Dolly Zoom begins, distorting the golden hills and vivid backdrop which start blooming. Her orange head wrap and white dress pop as she dances. As the camera nears, vines and flowers burst around her, forming a lush, blooming halo. Nature overtakes her in a surreal, radiant transformation—beauty, power, and reclamation fused in one stunning scene.
A static shot of a quaint urban street, where three anthropomorphic animal characters sit on a bench in stylish leather jackets. In timelapse, the scene transitions from morning to dusk, the lighting softening, as pedestrians quickly move in the background, hinting at the passing day. The vibrant colors of the characters’ outfits contrast against the brick pavement, creating a whimsical contemplative vibe, emphasizing the stillness of the trio amidst the super dynamic urban life around them.
In a dark void, she gazes upward—wide blue eyes trembling with inner turmoil. Lightning flickers across her lashes. The camera dives into her pupil, revealing a surreal world inside: tiny black birds burst from the void, flapping in chaotic spirals around her iris. Their shadows ripple across her eye—symbols of unshackled thoughts battling for freedom as emotion builds to a crescendo.
Medium shot from behind — a man facing a mirror tries on a new outfit. He adjusts his purple sweatshirt, smoothing one sleeve. He studies his reflection with a thoughtful gaze, then subtly shifts his weight and turns slightly to the left, keeping his eyes fixed on the mirror.
A woman in a hot pink satin dress suddenly quickly pins a nervous man in a checkered shirt against a tiled wall and leans in close to kiss him. The man’s eyes dart wildly in comic dread, rolling then wincing as he stands frozen, pinned against the wall, his lips shivering slightly as she kisses him. The camera capturing the contrast between her gleeful affection and his hilarious suffering. Their body language is cartoonishly exaggerated, bursting with physical comedy.

Dreamina's Seaweed Alpha model can't get the synced mirror image quite right, and for some reason throws in a third person or an object obstructing the view form time to time.
Her pinky is as long as index finger across dozens of tests, but otherwise a very solid anatomy and even finger on the trigger is placed corectly in this one. Took additional tweaking of facial expression though as it was soft and photomodel-ish.
Dreamina Seedream 3.0 doing a meme with text. In all 4 generated images it kept the taxt in the exact case it was supplied, without inferring that a meme usually means all caps, so keep that in mind if you want all caps - enter that in your quotes.
Uploaded my own audio for this. AI has animated both face and hair, although in other variations of this image hair was nearly static. Subtle details of your image matter for what happens.
Lipsyncing and animating digital illustration style image with my uploaded audio of a song didn't come out that great in terms of background animation. But head/lips animation is there.
Prompt:
Hand-drawn cat walks gracefully across the real autumn park as leaves are flying in the wind, creating a joyful vibe.
This is a test with the uploaded audio. The added full face photo on TV was added by the AI. Likely needed to give itself a full face reference somewhere, as the image did not contain it. Who knows... Otherwise, done even better job with this one than Hedra's latest model.
