Dub your edit into another language

Translate the edit's dialogue and speak it as a voice track in 90+ languages — timed from the transcript, billed on the translated script.

Eddie can take a finished cut and speak its dialogue in another language: it translates what's said in the edit and generates a dubbed voice track, line by line, timed to where each line lands.

Dub an edit

  1. On the timeline, open the voice-over composer — the ✨ on the VO lane, or its Generate voice-over button when the lane is empty.
  2. Switch on "Dub this edit."
  3. Pick a language (90+ to choose from — the same tier-one coverage as transcription, Chinese including Cantonese, Japanese, Korean and Thai among them) and a voice — every voice speaks every listed language.
  4. Click Dub. The clips land on the VO lane in a minute or two; you can keep working while it runs.

You can also ask for it from Claude or ChatGPT: "dub this edit into Spanish."

The words and timings come from the transcript

The script is the edit's own dialogue — exactly the lines that survived the cut, in edit time. Eddie translates each stretch of speech and speaks it where the original lands. Deliberate pauses in the cut stay pauses: the dub never paves over a held silence. Each dubbed clip is an ordinary VO clip on the lane (labelled with the language, e.g. "es dub"), so you can play, delete or re-generate them individually.

Two honest caveats:

  • The original dialogue keeps playing underneath. Eddie doesn't yet duck or mute the original speech under the dub. For a clean dubbed master, export to your NLE — the dub arrives on its own audio track there — and lower the original dialogue track.
  • Translated lines can run longer than the original. If a line overruns the next one's slot, Eddie names it in a warning rather than silently overlapping.

What it costs

Dubbing is billed on the length of the translated script at the standard voice-over rate — and since the translated text doesn't exist until the translation runs, the composer says "cost TBD" up front rather than inventing a number. The translation itself is free; the exact credits charged are reported in the project chat when the dub finishes. If anything fails after the charge, the whole batch is refunded automatically and you're told in the chat.

One current limit: dubbing is capped at about 9 minutes of dialogue per run (8,000 characters). For a longer piece, dub a shorter cut.
