Lipsmatch · Censorship Edits
Pass the censor. Keep the scene.
A word should never cost you a scene
A censor note, a broadcaster’s standards list, an airline edit: somewhere in your finished film, a word or a line has to go. The usual fixes all leave a scar. The bleep everyone hears. The jump cut everyone feels. The blurred mouth everyone stares at.
Lipsmatch replaces the flagged words on the lips instead. Working from the approvals you already hold, we recreate their voice and have it speak the cleared line, matched to the scene’s energy. Then the mouth is re-animated to speak it. The shot survives, the rhythm survives, the performance survives. The version that goes to the censor, the network or the airline is the same film, saying what it is allowed to say.
The versions every release needs
One theatrical master usually owes four or five compliant versions. All of them can come from post.
Flagged dialogue replaced with approved wording, on the lips, so the certificate never costs the scene
Broadcast standards met by re-wording instead of cutting, so the TV cut keeps the film’s best scenes
Edits for in-flight and family audiences without losing minutes of story to deletions
Instead of silencing a word, the scene simply says a different one, naturally
Cut-to-cut with the original master, same timecode, so downstream deliverables never re-conform
Every replaced line is reviewed frame by frame before you see it, the same finishing bar as everything we ship
How a flagged line gets cleared
Fast enough to sit inside a certification timeline, careful enough to survive a close-up.
From note to cleared master
Send the master and the notes
The film plus the flagged lines and the approved replacements. We advise on wording that sits naturally in the scene.
The cleared lines, in their own voice
Working from the approvals you already hold, we recreate their voice and have it speak the cleared lines, with the delivery matched to the scene’s energy.
The mouth follows, the scene stays
We re-animate the mouths to the cleared lines and return a compliant, cut-to-cut master, ready for certification or air.
Pairs beautifully with
A compliance fix is often where it starts. The same technology goes further.
Send the scene and the censor’s note.
One flagged scene and the cleared wording. We’ll send back the compliant version, so you can see the scene survive before you commit.
