What is Flawless?
Flawless AI is a company pioneering assistive AI tools specifically built for the film and television industries. Their technology is designed to protect artistic rights, real performances, and human authorship while helping filmmakers enhance their work. The company was created in close collaboration with guilds, unions, studios, and post-production partners to meet the specific needs of the film industry.
Flawless offers two main products: TrueSync™ and DeepEditor™. TrueSync™ is a visual dubbing technology that perfectly syncs on-screen performances to new language dialogue, allowing films to reach every market with dubs that look and feel native. It preserves original performances and authorship all the way to 8K resolution without identity reconstruction. DeepEditor™ allows filmmakers to fix dialogue, refine performances, and solve story problems in post-production without reshoots, ADR compromises, or anyone noticing. It enables in-vision ADR, performance transfer, censorship editing, and performance editing.
The tools are designed for filmmakers, studios, distributors, entertainment companies, and post-production professionals. Flawless is already used by major studios and streamers. The platform includes the Artistic Rights Treasury (A.R.T.) which ensures that when AI assists in refining a performance, the actor reviews and consents to every change before release. The output is cinema-quality and fully copyrightable.
Flawless differentiates itself from generative AI by using assistive AI that amplifies human creativity rather than replacing it. Their models are built with rights and provenance in mind, and media uploaded is ring-fenced and only used for contracted projects, never to train general models. The technology is TPN Gold Status Member, SOC2 and ISO 27001 compliant, and follows MPA Content Security Best Practices v5.2.

Frequently asked questions about Flawless
What is the difference between Assistive AI and Generative AI?
Assistive AI is built for artists and amplifies human creativity with cinema-quality, copyrightable outputs. It is already used by major studios and streamers. Generative AI is trained on scraped studio and artist material, produces low quality synthetic and uncopyrightable outputs, and replaces human creativity. Flawless uses Assistive AI that adjusts facial animation to match new dialogue without generating, replacing, or synthesizing faces and identities.
What is TrueSync™ and what does it do?
TrueSync™ is Flawless's visual dubbing technology that perfectly syncs on-screen performances to new language dialogue. It allows films to reach every market with dubs that look and feel native. TrueSync™ preserves original performances, color fidelity, and authorship all the way to 8K resolution. It is rights-safe by design with no identity reconstruction and is audio-agnostic, meaning it accepts dubbed audio from any source and creates the matching visual performance.
What is DeepEditor™ and how does it work?
DeepEditor™ allows filmmakers to fix dialogue, refine performances, and solve story problems in post-production without reshoots, ADR compromises, or anyone noticing. It enables in-vision ADR, performance transfer, censorship editing, and performance editing. You upload original shots and new audio, choose a character to visually dub (vub), refine the vub, get consent from your actor through the built-in A.R.T. workflow, and export the new shot in up to 8K ACES color space to slot into your editing timeline.
What is the Artistic Rights Treasury (A.R.T.)?
The Artistic Rights Treasury (A.R.T.) is an industry-aligned assistive AI workflow that ensures informed consent by design. When AI assists in refining a performance, the actor reviews and consents to every change before release. DeepEditor includes a built-in A.R.T. consent workflow for obtaining clearance and approval for vubs. A.R.T. has specific workflows for Requesters, Rights Clearance Managers, and Rights Holders.
Is my content safe with Flawless?
Yes. Flawless is built for studio-grade trust with TPN Gold Status Member, SOC2 and ISO 27001 compliance via AWS Shared Responsibility Model, and MPA Content Security Best Practices v5.2 compliance. All data transport uses TLS1.3 encryption and storage uses AES-256 encryption. Content uploaded to TrueSync or DeepEditor is never used to train models or shared with third parties. Your media is ring-fenced and only used for your contracted project, never to train general models.
What resolution and color depth does Flawless support?
Draft vubs support HD (1920x1920) resolution with 10-bit color depth for offline creative editorial. Final vubs support up to 8K (8192×8192 or 8192×4608) resolution with 16-bit color depth for commercial use. Both include precision compositing. Final vubs also support EXR and work in ACES color space for professional workflows.
How does token pricing work?
In DeepEditor, tokens are credits used to create vubs. 1 face altered in a shot equals 1 token. There are two token types: Draft tokens ($30) for offline editorial workflows and idea testing (NOT for commercial use), and Final tokens for online mastering and release workflows. Final token pricing is based on commercial distribution scope - you pay based on how widely your project will be released. Each project has a single fixed Distribution Scope chosen when creating the first Final Vub, and all Final tokens in that project must match that scope.
What are the distribution scope options?
There are four distribution scope options: Regional covers traditional broadcast, cable, public TV, streaming, theatrical, and digital in up to two countries ($350 per Final token). Worldwide Streaming & Broadcast covers the same in three or more countries ($875 per Final token). Worldwide Theatrical is for films released theatrically with distribution in three or more countries ($3,500 per Final token). Worldwide Advertising covers advertising, marketing, promotional content, film/TV trailers, branded content, and short-form digital media ($350 per Final token).
Can I use Flawless for any type of video content?
Flawless is specifically built for the film and TV industries. The tools are designed for filmmakers, studios, distributors, and entertainment companies. TrueSync™ is for localizing titles with visual dubbing, and DeepEditor™ is for performance editing in post-production. The platform is not designed for hobbyists, social media content creators, or general video editing outside of professional film and television production.
