Dub a video into another language with DepCut Dubbing

A video in one language can reach a wider audience once it speaks another. DepCut's Dubbing page transcribes the speech, translates it and speaks it back in the new language, using the original speakers' own voices over the original background audio. A video comes back as a video, and an audio file comes back as audio.

Start a dub

1. In the sidebar, open AI suite and choose Dubbing.
2. Choose Upload File to drop in a video or audio file, or choose Link to paste a YouTube or TikTok link or a direct file URL.
3. Open Spoken language and leave it on Detect automatically, or pick the language you hear.
4. Open Dub into and choose the target language. The list includes English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean and many more. It has to differ from the spoken language.
5. Press Dub it.

Tune the settings

• Speakers defaults to Detect automatically. If you know how many people talk, set the number from 1 to 9. Each speaker keeps their own voice in the dub, so the right count helps.
• Remove background audio drops music and noise from the dub. The page recommends it for speeches and monologues. Leave it off when the original sound bed matters to the piece.

Dubbing uses credits, charged by the length of the source. If a dub fails, the credits are returned.

Collect the result and bring it in

A dub takes a few minutes. Your run shows as a pending card under Your dubs, and you can leave the page. The finished dub is there when you return. Play it on its card, then use Download to save the file. Delete a dub from its card when you no longer need it.

1. Open your project in the editor.
2. Open Media and press Upload, or drag the dubbed file onto the editor.
3. Place it on the timeline in place of the original clip.

Play it through and compare a few lines with the original. Check names, numbers and the timing of each line against the picture.

Add captions in the new language

In a project with no captions yet, open Subtitles. Choose the language from the menu above Generate subtitles. For a dub language the menu does not list, such as Hindi, leave it on Detect language. Then press Generate subtitles. DepCut transcribes the clip in that language. Correct any names in the transcript, then pick a caption style in Styles. Transcription spends credits too.

A lighter route for narration

If you do not need the speakers' own voices, the editor has two options:

• Generate a voiceover from a script in the Audio tab. In DepCut Voices, write a direction such as "say it in Spanish" and the script is translated and spoken in that language.
• Use Generate audio for clip on a captioned clip to have an AI voice read its captions.

Pick Dubbing when you want the same people to keep speaking, in a different language. Pick a voiceover when one narrator can carry the video.

Put it to work

Open the Dubbing page from DepCut, dub a short clip first, and listen to the result before you send a longer video through.
