Applies to 0.11Updated 10 Nov 20261 min read

Translate and dub only the part you select, for lines that were missed or added later. The rest of the dub stays as it is.

On this page

Pro (dubbing and caption translation).

Open it

  • Select clips over the part, or set In and Out, then right-click on the timeline › Translate and Dub This Part… (under Fix This Phrase…).
  • It is offered when a language already has a voice in this sequence.

The window

  • The top shows the part’s time and how many lines of the original it has.
  • Into: the language. This Mac or AI service: who translates.
  • Translate fills the empty lines, or translates them all again when none is empty. It reads Translate Empty Lines (N) when only some are empty.
  • Each line shows the original’s words over the translation, which you can change. It starts with the words that language’s captions already have there.
  • Dub This Part writes the lines on that language’s caption track (its captions in that time are replaced), then dubs only those phrases onto its voice track, in the voices the dub uses, at the loudness of the pieces they replace. Two undo steps: the dub, then the captions.
