What it is

One-click Video Translation takes your uploaded video and, in a single step, generates a translated audio track in your cloned voice for the selected target language. It uses the original speech to automatically create your personal voice, translates the transcript, and synthesises the new audio. This mode is perfect for a fast first pass before any detailed edits in the Dubbing Studio😜.

Set up the run the smart way.

  1. Upload your Video, ensuring it meets the requirements.

  2. Confirm the Source language, adjust if needed.

  3. Pick one target language first, and keep the first pass fast and focused.

  4. Language Style: Choose Casual or Formal to match your audience.

  5. Lip-Sync, leave off for the first pass, enable later after you verify text and timing, then click Translate.

    1. This saves you from spending Tokens on Lip-Sync when the transcript is faulty😎.

For a more detailed description of this process, visit our Video Translation Collection 👍.

Preview, then choose your next step.

Open the finished target under Generated languages to watch and listen. If it looks good, add more target languages directly. If it doesn't look or sound good, open the Dubbing Studio and fix the source transcript first. Updating the source ensures every current and future target language is based on a clean transcript, so the same issue does not repeat. After changing a block, click the Translate arrow for that block, then Generate Audio, and finally Generate to bake everything into the media.

For more detailed, step-by-step instructions, see the Dubbing Studio collection💯.

Important note about multiple targets at once

If you translate several languages in one go and the source has an error, that error will appear in all of those targets. This is why the best practice is to target one first, review, fix the source transcript if needed, and then add more languages.

When to enable Lip-Sync

Turn on Lip-Sync only after you have verified that the transcript is correct. This avoids syncing lines you would change anyway, saving time and tokens. You can enable Lip-Sync in the Generate dialogue in the Studio when you regenerate from the dubbing studio.

More information on this can be found in our Dubbing Studio Collection✨.

Background audio: what happens behind the scenes

CHAMELAION separates speech from other sounds, removes noise automatically, and can mix the background track back in if you choose Keep Background Sounds during translation or later in the Studio’s Generate dialogue.

If you want to kick out the Background Sounds later, you can do so via the Dubbing Studio. Just deselect the Background Audio Track feature, et voila, done!🤝
