UltraDub: Towards Authentic Dubbing by Unifying Visually-Steered Flow Learning and Trajectory Guidance

arXiv:2610.05932v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual voice cloning requires intelligible, speaker-consistent speech synchronized with visible articulation. However, sequential multimodal conditioning can disrupt previously established temporal and speaker cues, while imbalanced inference guidance can improve linguistic accuracy at the expense of lip synchronization. In this paper, we propose UltraDub, a Unifying Visually-Steered Flow learning and trajectory Guidance Dubbing framework that leverages vision in two ways: as continuous motion for multimodal context aggregation, and as structural rhythm for trajectory rectification. Specifically, we introduce the Motion-guided Dual-context Retrieving (MDR) module, which continually recalibrates linguistic and speaker-style retrieval through shared lip-motion query residuals, utilizing independent time-conditioned gates to regulate their contributions. Furthermore, we propose Rhythm-anchored Trajectory Guidance (RTG), a training-free mechanism that evaluates hierarchical multimodal corrections at a visual-only predictive midpoint, safely strengthening semantic conditioning while better preserving temporal alignment. Finally, we construct DiverseDub, a multi-scenario benchmark to evaluate video dubbing in the wild. Extensive experiments demonstrate that UltraDub achieves state-of-the-art performance across four datasets.
