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 organisation and is off by default, including for organisations 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.
Dubbing a video
Open the video from your media library.
Open its settings and choose to dub the audio.
Pick a Target language.
Check the estimated cost, then click Dub into….
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 is far more expensive than translating subtitles, so the dialog works out the price first and shows it in credits and in dollars before the button becomes available. 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 organisation has used its daily dubbing allowance — this resets at 00:00 UTC;
your organisation has used its monthly dubbing allowance — this resets on the 1st, 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 organisations that don't have dubbing. See Subtitles.
Language versions — a genuinely different file per language. Necessary when what's on screen changes. See Using media in other languages.
