==== Local / open-source (maximum control, GPU setup required) ====

If you want the most control (and don’t mind technical setup), these are popular:
* Wav2Lip (open source) Classic “lip-sync any video to any audio” pipeline. Lots of community tooling and forks (including higher-fidelity variants).

* Rhubarb Lip Sync (open source, 2D mouth shapes) This generates mouth animation data from audio (commonly for 2D/rigged workflows, not direct photoreal video).

When these shine: cost, privacy, repeatability, and “knobs” (you can iterate, batch, integrate into pipelines).
Tradeoff: you’ll spend time on environment setup, face tracking edge-cases, and quality tuning.
