VidDub edits video dubbing by guiding mouth motion with replacement audio while preserving the rest of the source. For paired audio, it retains full-frame reconstruction; for replacement audio, it masks mouth-region reconstruction losses and uses audio–visual synchronization supervision. A two-step full-context student is distilled from a teacher. Source-mouth masking improves cross-audio Sync-C by 0.833; it targets offline, not streaming, dubbing.
