  2. Choose Translate Captions… to create a caption track in the new language.
  3. Choose Dub from Captions….
  4. Go through the review list and the listening check.

Choose the track that is dubbed

In Dub from Captions, the Dub from row names the audio track that is dubbed and the language it speaks. Only that track goes quiet in the dubbed version; music, effects and other tracks play in every language. You can also right-click a track header and choose Dub This Track….

If the voice and the music are in one recording, choose Keep Music and Sounds… in the Background row. The app keeps a background track without voices that plays in every language.

Fix individual phrases

Right-click a piece of the dubbed voice and choose Fix This Phrase… to change its words, voice or stresses and fit it in. See Fix one dubbed phrase with Fix This Phrase. In the Languages panel you can also dub selected phrases again and replace them on the track.

Switch and export languages

  • Click a language in the Languages panel to play the same edit with that language's narration and captions.
  • On export, extra language audio tracks can go in the same file, along with several caption files.
