Q02, the lip-sync proof beat

The first eleven seconds of the QuietLab UK port, made the way the whole ad would be made, so the method can be judged before five more minutes of it are rendered.

The beat

She is a real Doe creator, not a generated woman.

The picture starts from one frame of her own partnership video, taken at 21 seconds and cropped above her burned-in captions. InfiniteTalk animates that frame to our voiceover on our own rented 5090. Nothing about her face is invented.

The voice is a clone of a real person too.

It is w30-tan from the shared belt, cloned from a real lifestyle creator, in the woman 30-45 slot that fits a narrator fifteen years into this with a husband.

the source frame

This single still is the entire visual input. Everything the model does is movement on top of it, which is why her identity holds across the whole eleven seconds.

What the QA found

The verdict beside the clip reads 0 fatal, 1 major, and the major one is real and fixable.

5.14smajorThe voice says "matched" where the script says "match". The fix is to redub that one line in the same cloned voice, not to regenerate the picture.

0snot judgedThe beat carries one visible change in ten seconds, where short-form leans to one every one or two seconds. This is a note for the eye, never a defect, and the finished cut will carry far more.

The full verdict is in qa/Q02-open-presenter.qa.md beside this page.

What it costs and what still has to happen

The price is settled by measurement rather than estimate.

Eleven seconds took 313 seconds of GPU on a 5090 at $0.92 an hour, which is $0.0071 a second, so the presenter stretches of the full five-minute ad come to roughly $2.30. The box took 262 seconds to set itself up, at $0.14.

Three things are still owed before this is an ad.

The model writes 464 by 832, which is below the 500 pixel minimum Instagram enforces, so every take needs upscaling to 1080 by 1920 before it could run anywhere. The running captions are not burned yet. And the beats between the presenter stretches need their picture, which comes from the 167 real Doe creator clips rather than from anything generated.
