Captions, translation and dubbing by instruction

Applies to 0.11Updated 5 Nov 20262 min read

Ask the Assistant to make captions, translate them into another language, or dub the video. Missing steps are done first: no transcript, no captions, no translation.

Type these in AI Edit › Assistant, in English or Russian. Each instruction is one step for Undo AI Edit.

Captions

"Make captions for this video" makes captions from the speech. When there is no transcript yet, the speech is transcribed first on this Mac.

Translate

"Translate the subtitles into Spanish" or «Переведи субтитры на английский» puts the translation on a caption track of its own, above the original. The language menu beside the timecode shows one language at a time. When there are no captions yet, they are made first.

• The Mac's own translation is used when that language is installed. Otherwise the AI service chosen in Settings is used.
• With no language named, the Assistant asks, with a button per language.
• "Translate the subtitles into Spanish and German" makes both.

Dub

"Dub the video into English" translates the captions first when there are none in that language. Then the Dub from Captions window opens for that language. Choose the voice and press Dub. A dub takes a while, so it starts only when you press it.
