How to Make a Split-Screen OST Video with DreamFace Avatar 3.0

In the age of AI-generated content, creators are finding new and engaging ways to bring beloved movie moments to life. One trending format on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels? A split-screen video where the top half plays a cinematic montage, and the bottom shows the film’s protagonist performing the original soundtrack — as if they recorded it live in a studio.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to create this effect using DreamFace’s Avatar 3.0 tool — from generating the singing avatar to editing the final split-screen cut.

What You’ll Need

Before we dive into the steps, here’s what you’ll need:

• Clips from the original film (for the top half)
• A high-quality image of the character (preferably front-facing)
• The OST audio file you want the character to sing
• Any basic video editing software (CapCut, Premiere, etc.)

Step-by-Step: Create the Singing Avatar

1. Prepare Your Image

Choose a clear image of the character you'd like to animate — ideally a close-up shot with good lighting. You can take a still from the movie itself.

Tip: For best results, use a frame where the character is looking forward and has a neutral or expressive face.

2. Use DreamFace’s Avatar 3.0 Tool

Head to the Dream Avatar tool . Upload your character image, then add the OST audio file (MP3 or WAV). DreamFace will automatically sync the audio to generate a realistic singing animation.

What Avatar 3.0 brings:

• Accurate lip-sync with musical timing
• Expressive facial movements, especially during emotional parts of the song
• Cinematic quality rendering with natural performance dynamics

Want extra realism? Use subtle expressions in the image or request slight head movement using the advanced settings.

Step 3: Assemble the Split-Screen Video

Now that you have both the singing clip and the original film footage:

1. Open your video editor
2. Place the original movie montage on the top half of the screen
3. Add the AI-generated singing avatar video to the bottom half
4. Sync the visuals with the OST audio for perfect timing
5. Export and share!

You now have a seamless, emotionally engaging split-screen performance — the character feels like they’re truly singing their own soundtrack.

Why This Format Works

This split-screen concept works well because it blends nostalgia with novelty. Viewers get to re-experience iconic scenes while seeing the character come to life in a new way. It’s perfect for:

• Movie fan pages
• OST lovers
• Short-form video creators looking for viral formats
