Translating your video’s audio and subtitles
You can translate your video’s audio and subtitles into multiple languages.
The total cost of your translation is calculated as: 20 credits per minute x Video length (minutes) x Number of languages selected
For Example: A 2-minute video translated into three languages
20 credits per minute x 2 minutes x 3 languages
Total cost = 120 credits
To translate your video’s audio and subtitles:
- Select the AI Sparkles
from the lower-right corner of the video’s settings page.
- You can also access it by selecting Languages from a video’s settings page and selecting Generate.
- Select Translate video.
- Select Audio/Subtitles.
- Select the languages that you would like to translate your video into.
- Confirm the cost of your translation. You can begin the translation process if you have enough credits left in your AI credit balance. If you do not, you will be prompted to purchase the required AI credits.
The time it takes for your video to translate is roughly proportional to its length. For example, if your video is 5 minutes long, it will take roughly 5 minutes to generate a translation.
You can edit your video’s transcription from the Languages menu of the video’s settings page.
When to translate your video
We recommend translating your video when you are confident that you will not need to make additional edits to its content.
If you edit your video's transcript after using AI translation, you must manually edit the transcript for each text track in the Languages menu of the video’s management page. The translated subtitles will not update automatically.
Additionally, if you edit your video using the following tools, you must re-translate it, as translations are not updated automatically.
- Editor
- Trimmer
- Text-based video editor
- If you replace your video
You will not receive a refund for additional translations needed to reflect changes you’ve made to your video.
