The alternative is what everyone did until recently: generate a silent clip, then source or generate sound and align it by hand. That works, and it is slow, and the alignment is only ever as good as your patience. A model producing both together has the picture and the sound agreeing by construction — footsteps land on the footfall because both came out of the same generation.
The quality is uneven by category. Ambience and simple effects are broadly convincing; dialogue is where it gets interesting, because the model is deciding not just what a voice sounds like but what it says, unless your prompt pinned that down.
It also changes what a prompt should contain. On an audio-enabled model, sound is part of the brief — what is heard, whether anyone speaks, what the room sounds like — and leaving that out means the model chooses for you.
In practice
- Write the sound into the prompt: dialogue in quotes, ambience named, effects described.
- Generated audio is baked into the clip — replacing it later is an edit, not a setting.
- For scripted lines you must control exactly, a silent generation plus dedicated voice work is still safer.

The mistake to avoid
Assuming a silent result means the model has no audio. Many models expose audio as an off-by-default switch.

Audio-to-video
Audio-to-video generation drives the picture from a soundtrack: the audio is the primary input and the visuals are generated to agree with it.
Text-to-speech
Text-to-speech converts written text into spoken audio using a synthetic voice you choose before generating.
AI dubbing
AI dubbing meaning: replacing spoken audio with another language, usually keeping the speaker voice and optionally re-syncing lips.
Lipsync
Lipsync meaning: an AI model moves a face's mouth to match an audio track, so the words look spoken by that face instead of dubbed over the top.
Temporal consistency
Temporal consistency is how well a generated clip keeps things the same from one frame to the next, with no flicker, shimmer or drifting detail.
