One photo becomes a complete performance
Turn an approved ad frame into a polished speaking performance.
This example starts from a real vertical ad asset with a creator, product, retail environment, and campaign typography already in frame. Aurora 2.0 brings the presenter to life from the supplied voice while keeping the composition ready for a performance ad.
Ad-native input.
Start with the creative your team already approved.
Natural delivery.
Mouth, expression, head motion, and gestures follow the voice.
Fast variation.
Swap the voice track to create new hooks, offers, and localized versions.
Best-in-class lip sync
9.14 LSE-C, the highest result in our side-by-side comparison.
Full-body expressiveness
Facial nuance, eye contact, breathing, head motion, hand gestures, and body language move together.
Exact source voice
Your original audio stays intact, with 99.97% waveform correlation and 0 ms measured offset in long-video validation.
One photo, no setup session
Start from the person, character, styling, and composition you already approved.
Built for any language
The performance follows the supplied voice track, opening the same workflow to global campaigns.
Made for creator formats
UGC ads, podcasts, explainers, localization, virtual spokespeople, and character content from the same simple input.

Quality, speed, and economics
Best overall quality at the lowest price in the comparison.
On our avatar benchmark, Aurora 2.0 reaches a 90.5 Avatar Performance Score—the strongest overall result in the comparison—at 7¢ per output-second, the lowest listed price in the comparison. That is 12.5% below H3 Max Lip Sync and 30% below HeyGen Avatar 4 on fal.
Avatar Performance Score = 50% lip sync + 25% perceptual quality + 25% identity preservation, normalized to a 0–100 scale. H3 Max Lip Sync was generated through fal’s public 768p endpoint and evaluated locally with the same measurement stack.
Aurora 2.0 pairs the strongest overall quality score in the benchmark with a 31.6-second warm median generation time. The latency view uses the same “higher and further left is better” convention as fal’s H3 Max launch chart.
Latency is request-to-result time recorded during the benchmark; provider queue and cold-start behavior may vary. Aurora 2.0 uses warm serving measurements; all quality scores use the same fixed scoring protocol.
The table is ranked by Avatar Performance Score: 50% lip sync, 25% perceptual quality, and 25% identity preservation, normalized to 0–100. Prices are normalized per output-second but reflect each benchmarked provider tier or resolution; see the measurement notes.
A full-generation upgrade to Aurora
Aurora 2.0 upgrades the complete experience: the highest overall quality in the comparison, approximately 2.0× faster generation, and continuous videos up to 60 seconds.

SyncNet LSE-C measures audio-to-mouth alignment; Q-Align measures perceptual video quality; ID-SIM measures identity preservation; motion smoothness measures frame-to-frame temporal stability. Higher is better for every quality score shown.
All side-by-side quality values use the same fixed evaluation suite and scoring pipeline. The visual gallery is selected from that suite and is not a random sample.
H3 Max Lip Sync was generated through fal’s public 768p endpoint with transcription guidance enabled. Its measured aggregate results are 7.95 LSE-C, 4.80 Q-Align, 0.72 ID-SIM, and 0.51 motion smoothness.
The 9.14 headline is Aurora 2.0’s strongest completed lip-sync result. Q-Align, ID-SIM, and motion smoothness use its balanced quality evaluation.
The speed chart uses recorded request-to-result latency. Aurora 2.0 uses warm serving measurements; provider queue and cold-start behavior can vary.
