Revoice: correct the captions and only the changed lines are spoken again

Applies to 0.11Updated 10 Nov 20262 min read

Correct the words of your original captions, and only the lines you changed are spoken again in each speaker’s cloned voice. Every other line keeps your original recording.

Revoice fixes a few words of a finished voiceover without recording it again. Pro (dubbing).

Make a copy to correct

• Open the Dub window: Voiceover panel › Voice from Captions…, or Dub from Captions…, with the original language’s captions chosen in Captions.
• When the original voice is already on the timeline, a Revoice row offers Make a Copy to Correct. It copies the captions, with the same times, onto a new track such as Captions — English (corrected). The original captions are hidden, never changed. One undo step.
• Correct the words of the copy in the Captions panel. You can also delete a line.

Revoice the changed lines

• Back in the Dub window, Compare with shows the original captions, and a count such as “2 lines changed, 1 taken out”.
• Give each speaker their voice: Detect Speakers, then Clone on each speaker row.
• Press Revoice Changed Lines (N). Only the changed lines are spoken, each fitted into its own time within the Speed limit. A deleted line is cut out. Everything else is your original recording.
• The result goes on a track of its own, such as Voice — English (revoiced). The original voice track is muted, never changed: unmute it to hear the original. Undo step: Revoice English.

Good to know

• A line counts as changed when its words differ, and also when only a stress mark or ё is added (Russian). Case and punctuation do not count.
• Run it again after more corrections: the same track is made again, and lines already spoken with the same words and voice are reused.
• A changed line too long for its time, even at the speed limit, keeps its original words. The summary says how many.
• The Timing rows are hidden while revoicing, because each line is fitted into its own time.
• It works best when the voice is on its own track. A cut also removes music or effects on the same track under a changed line.
