What this feature does, in short
CHAMELAION separates your upload into two clean parts: one track with only the speaker’s voice for voice cloning, and one track with all other sounds, such as music, ambience, and effects. Noise is removed automatically. You decide whether to mix those background sounds back into the export.
How CHAMELAION handles audio
We run source separation models: one for speech and one for background sounds.
We always create two tracks, clean speech only, plus a separate background-sounds track, even if you do not keep background sounds in the export.
The Background Sounds option simply controls whether that background-sounds track is mixed back into the final rendered file.
Background noise, such as hiss and hum, is automatically eliminated; this is different from background music or sound, which you can choose to keep. Therefore, no matter what you choose, you will always end up with a clean, neat translation of your Video 😉.
Turn it on during translation
Upload your video as per usual, confirm your source language and select your target language or languages.
If you want to keep Background Sounds in your translated version, toggle the Background Sounds lever to On before you click Translate.
If you decide you do not want Background Sounds after you have looked at the preview, pop into our Dubbing Studio. When you click Generate in the lower right corner, you will again be able to choose whether to turn Background Sounds on👍.
Done!
That is it! Decide once during translation, then fine-tune per language in the Dubbing Studio, and export exactly the mix you want.
