Creating a Dub

Start a New Dub

Click + New dub in the top-right corner, or click one of the category card buttons on the landing page (Dub a lecture, Dub a scene, Dub a discourse, Dub a reel) to open the “Create a dub” modal.

• The dropzone accepts video (MP4, MOV) or audio (MP3, WAV) - or click or record a video to capture footage directly instead of uploading a file.

Provide Your Source File

Upload a video or audio file, or attach an accessible social URL.

• Upload limits depend on your plan: 2 GB and 1 hour on Starter, 3 GB and 1 hour on Pro, and 4 GB and 4 hours on Enterprise. The upload box shows the limit that applies to you.
• A URL link skips the local download-then-upload round trip for content you’ve already published (e.g. a YouTube or social link).
• The modal displays your uploaded file’s name, size, and duration once attached (e.g. “165.2 MB · 5:16”) before you move to the next step.

Name Your Project

The Project name is pre-filled from the filename; rename it so you can find it later.

Set the Source Language

Select the language spoken in the file from Source language.

• It drives transcription and speaker separation, so pick the spoken language, not the subtitle language.
• Besides the 11 Indian languages and English, 11 more scheduled Indian languages and 15 international languages are available as sources only.
• Bodo, Dogri, Kashmiri, Maithili, Manipuri, Sanskrit, Santali and Sindhi show Lower transcription accuracy: review the transcript before exporting.
• Auto-detect (first option) detects the language after you create the dub.

Select the Number of Speakers

Pick the count from Number of speakers.

• On the Enterprise plan, you can also choose Auto (detect speakers) and Content Studio works out how many people speak. To get access, contact us.
• Round upward for multi-speaker conversations - undercounting is worse than overcounting.
• Merging two distinct speakers into one slot blends their voices in the output, which is much harder to fix in the editor than simply merging an unused extra slot.

Select Your Target Languages

Add one or more languages to Target languages.

• Each target is a separate dubbed version from the same upload.

Match Speaker Strategy to Your Use Case

Choose the Voice:

• Clone speaker voice (default): keeps the original speaker’s voice.
• Use Sarvam voices: a Sarvam voice instead.

Choose a Translation Model

Open Advanced options, then pick from the Translation Model dropdown:

• Sarvam Plus - highest translation quality.
• Sarvam Lite - faster, lighter translation.
• Sarvam Auto - balances quality and efficiency. Default.

Set the Translation Register

Choose a Translation style, or leave it on Auto:

• Auto (default): picks the style for the content.
• Formal: polished, for official content.
• Urban colloquial: modern, urban phrasing.
• Standard colloquial: everyday spoken language.
• Traditional colloquial: conventional, keeps local nuance.

Submit for Processing

Click Create dub to dispatch the file to the localization pipeline.

• If the banner reads “The video is fully free,” this dub won’t draw against your free minutes or credits.
• Setup fields lock once submitted - double-check source language and speaker count first, since fixing them afterward means starting a new dub rather than editing this one.
