- Select the "original language" of the video and what you want to translate the audio and subtitles to. Note that you cannot translate videos of different original languages at once.
- Select the voice you want for the dubbing (custom voices are only available for Business & Enterprise Workspaces).

FAQ
Can I dub only part of the transcript?
No, we will dub the entire transcript - unless the user splits their clip and only selects a portion of it to be dubbed.
If I have to edit part of the dubbing, does the whole video count toward my limits?
If you edit the subtitles and need to "regenerate" the dubbing, only the changed sections will count. (I.E. A 10 minute video with 10 words updated would count as a minute of dubbing.)
Can I dub for multiple speakers?
No, at this time we only offer dubbing for one voice.
Could I preserve the original background noise or laughing?
No. When you dub, we remove all the original audio and replace it with just the forefront audio that has been dubbed.
Can I make apply lip syncing for dubbing?
