TBDub: Production-Oriented Visual Dubbing
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Visual dubbing must synchronize mouth motion with replacement speech while preserving identity, appearance, and temporal consistency. Although X-Dub provides a strong mask-free video-editing baseline, its application to livestream and generated-video content reveals limitations in production-domain robustness, temporal and motion stability, identity and oral-detail preservation, and inference efficiency. We present TBDub, a production-oriented extension of X-Dub that combines task-adaptive post-training with task-aware few-step distillation. Post-training adapts the video DiT using production-domain data, production-specific conditioning and filtering, and enhanced audio features to obtain a 30-step Teacher. Distillation adapts DMD/DMD2 to conditional video editing and compresses the Teacher into a two-step Student. On 38 TalkVid clips, the Teacher improves all eight reported reconstruction, perceptual, identity, and synchronization metrics over X-Dub. In the MOS evaluation, it improves lip-sync consistency, identity consistency, and visual quality over X-Dub by 0.14, 0.95, and 0.90 points, while the Student achieves the highest lip-sync and visual-quality scores and remains close to the Teacher in identity consistency. In paired end-to-end generation timing from the first VAE encode through the final VAE decode on a single NVIDIA H20 GPU at 512×512, the Student reaches 7.13 effective FPS and reduces total latency by 13.93×; the DiT stage alone is accelerated by 42.49×. The Student largely retains the Teacher's generation quality and audiovisual synchronization. The code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/TaoLiveAIGC/TBDub, and the 30-step Teacher and two-step Student weights are available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/TaoLiveAIGC/TBDub.
