Who we are

At MARZ we have been working for two years to build THE best in-house lip-syncing tool to break down language barriers in e-learning, advertising, and Hollywood. LipDub at its core modifies given footage to match any supplied audio track, allowing for use cases such as localization, ADR, scaled marketing, and many more. In the market today, MARZ is the premier provider of accurately lip-synced high-fidelity video dubbing, and we’re not stopping here. LipDub algorithms are developed entirely in-house by some of the strongest researchers and leaders in computer graphics and generative modelling
