\n\tAmazon<\/a> Prime Video<\/a> series Maxton Hall<\/a> is the first programming on the streaming platform to feature new AI<\/a> technology<\/a> synchronizing actors\u2019 lip movements with human-dubbed audio.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature went live Wednesday on the first two seasons of the series, and will be used for its third season when it premieres later this year. The German YA series was quickly renewed for a second season in 2024 after it smashed viewership records<\/a> for Prime Video. Season 3\u2019s release date on December 9 was confirmed last week<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHave you ever watched a dubbed movie only to notice the actors\u2019 mouths continuing to move after the dialogue has ended, taking you completely out of the story?\u201d Amazon asked in a blog post<\/a>. \u201cPrime Video\u00a0is addressing this issue with a feature designed to create a more enjoyable and accessible viewing experience for our global customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMaxton Hall, a German series based on the 2018 novel\u00a0Save Me\u00a0by Mona Kasten, is Prime\u2019s most-watched international original series ever.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe lip-syncing method will also be used on other series down the line, the company said. Raf Soltanovich, VP of technology at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, said the goal is to create \u201ca more seamless and immersive way for customers to enjoy global content\u201d while also helping creators reach broader audiences. His statement went on to stress that \u201ccreative oversight\u201d will help \u201censure the integrity of their artistic vision is preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix has led the charge among streamers in terms of cross-pollinating programming across global territories, establishing a template years ago with shows like Squid Game, Money Heist and many others. Amazon, Disney and other players have worked to ramp up their non-U.S. offerings in an effort to close the gap. <\/p>\n

\n\tAmazon does have the advantage of its war-chest of tech resources. Last year, the company started testing new AI tools<\/a> that dub movies into English and Latin American Spanish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon Prime Video series Maxton Hall is the first programming on the streaming platform to feature new AI…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":595161,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,414,363,364,127491,224376,111,139,69,16505,145],"class_list":["post-595160","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-amazon","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-dubbing","tag-maxton-hall","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prime-video","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=595160"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/595160\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/595161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=595160"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=595160"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=595160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
