Dubbing generates an AI voice track for a video in another language, from the video's own soundtrack. The picture stays the same — you get an extra audio track on the same asset rather than a separate language version.
Dubbing is in beta.
Availability
Dubbing is switched on per organization and is off by default, including for organizations that already have subtitles and captions. It's also budgeted separately from your other AI usage, with its own daily and monthly allowance. Talk to your account manager if you'd like it switched on.
Dub a video
In your media library, open the video.
Under Subtitles, in the Dubbed audio section, click Dub audio.
In the Dub audio into another language dialog, choose a Target language.
Check the Estimated cost, and then click Dub into followed by the language, such as Dub into French.
Dubbing takes several minutes. You don't need to wait on the dialog — the track appears on the asset when it's done.
The cost is shown before you start
Dubbing costs far more than translating subtitles. So before the button becomes available, the dialog works out the price and shows it in credits and in dollars. The estimate is based on the length of the file.
The button stays disabled, with the reason given, when:
the file is longer than the per-file limit;
your organization has used its daily dubbing allowance — this resets at 00:00 UTC;
your organization has used its monthly dubbing allowance — this resets on the first of each month (UTC);
the file is still processing, so its duration isn't known yet.
Dubbing, subtitles and language versions
Dubbing — same picture, new spoken audio. Good for a presenter-to-camera video where re-shooting isn't practical.
Subtitles — same picture, same audio, translated text on screen. Much cheaper, and available to organizations that don't have dubbing. See Subtitles.
Language versions — a genuinely different file per language. Necessary when what's on screen changes. See Use media in other languages.
