AI video dubbing
Re-voice the speech in your video in another language: the AI transcribes it, translates it and reads it with the voice you pick. The original audio can stay low in the background, and translated subtitles can be added.
7 ready recipes
Dubbing is the most direct way to reach viewers who speak another language: people who don't want to read subtitles hear the content in their own language. Traditional dubbing takes a translator, a voice actor and a studio recording; AI dubbing turns those steps into one job.
The Dubbing tool in the Captions & reframe section of Ryna Video Studio does three things together: the speech in your video is transcribed, translated into the target language and re-voiced with a preset voice you choose. You can keep the original audio low in the background as ambience and burn translated subtitles into the video.
Two limits are worth knowing up front. There's no lip sync: the new voice isn't matched to the speaker's mouth movement. There's no voice cloning either: a preset voice is used, not the speaker's own. That's why the tool gives the most natural results on voice-over narration.
Dubbing recipes
Each card is a type of video with its studio settings. “Open the tool in the studio” opens the Captions & reframe section; upload or pick your video and apply the card's settings on the Dubbing card.
A Turkish product video in English
Choose EN as the target language, pick one of the preset voices and leave “Keep original audio low (ambience)” ticked so music and ambience continue in the background. You get a quick English version for international marketplaces and ads.
TR → ENAmbience kept
Open in studioAn English lesson in Turkish
Choose TR as the target language and also tick “Burn translated subtitles”. Viewers listen in Turkish and read along, which makes technical terms easier to follow.
Only use it on videos you own or have permission to translate.

Videos without a talking face on screen, such as narrated promos, screen-recorded tutorials and documentary-style explainers, suit dubbing best: nobody notices the missing lip sync.

If hearing the original speech in the background is distracting, untick “Keep original audio low (ambience)”. If you need music, add it back from your Results feed through the dubbed video's “With this video…” menu and “Add music”.

Reframe to 9:16 first. Open the reframed version's “With this video…” menu, choose “Captions, dub, clips…” and apply the dub to the vertical version; translated subtitles are burned in for the new frame.

If the recording has hum, wind or background noise, run the free Audio cleanup tool first. Clean audio is transcribed more accurately, which improves both the translation and the dub.

Open in studioNeed lip sync? Use the talking avatar
If you need a presenter talking in close-up, give the translated script to the talking avatar tool: the person in the photo speaks the target language with lip sync. You need the person's consent, and the tool requires purchased credits.

Which videos does AI dubbing work well on?
The best results come from videos without a talking face in close-up: narrated product promos, screen-recorded tutorials, documentary-style explainers and animations. On these, nobody notices the missing lip sync.
When someone talks to the camera in close-up, their mouth movement won't match the new voice. Translated subtitles often look more natural there. If the presenter must speak the target language, the talking avatar tool offers a lip-synced alternative.
Getting better translations
Dubbing quality depends on how accurately the speech is transcribed. Clear, noise-free recordings without overlapping voices give the best translations. On noisy recordings, run the free Audio cleanup tool first.
Names, brand names, idioms and industry terms can be mistranslated. Watch the dubbed video all the way through before publishing; ticking “Burn translated subtitles” also makes it easier to check the translation by reading it.
Dubbing or subtitles?
Subtitles keep the speaker's real voice and emotion, which builds trust in lessons, interviews and personal content. Dubbing doesn't ask viewers to read, which makes it more accessible for quickly watched mobile content and for viewers who prefer listening.
You can also combine them: tick “Burn translated subtitles” in the dubbing tool and the video is re-voiced in the target language and subtitled. The subtitle style and brand color come from the settings on the automatic captions card in the same section.

Is it free?
No. Dubbing includes transcription, translation and voice generation, so it uses credits. It's priced by the video's length, and the “Dub” button shows the credits per 10 seconds. Reframing and audio cleanup, which you can use to prepare the video, are free. There's no subscription, and purchased credits stay valid for 365 days.
Tips
- Start with voice-over videos; the missing lip sync goes unnoticed.
- Run the free audio cleanup first on noisy recordings.
- Keep the original audio low to preserve the music.
- Burn translated subtitles too so you can check the translation.
- Cost depends on length, so test with a short section first.
- Consider the talking avatar for a presenter in close-up.
Permission, copyright and transparency
Only dub videos you own or have permission to translate and republish; dubbing and sharing films, shows or broadcasts that belong to someone else can infringe copyright. Don't create content that makes people appear to say things they never said, and mention that the dub was made with AI when you share it.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I dub a video with AI?
- Open the Captions & reframe section in Video Studio, upload your video, choose the target language and voice on the Dubbing card and press “Dub”. The speech is transcribed, translated and re-voiced with the voice you chose.
- Can I dub an English video into Turkish?
- Yes, choose TR as the target language. To turn a Turkish video into English, choose EN.
- Does it have lip sync?
- No. The new voice isn't matched to the speaker's mouth movement. If you need lip sync, the talking avatar tool makes a photo speak the target language with lip sync.
- Can it dub with the speaker's own voice?
- No, there's no voice cloning; dubbing uses one of the studio's preset voices.
- Is AI dubbing free?
- No, it uses credits based on the video's length; the button shows the credits per 10 seconds. There's no subscription.
- Will the music in my video disappear?
- With “Keep original audio low (ambience)” ticked, music and ambience stay low in the background. If you untick it, the original audio is removed; you can add music afterwards with “Add music”.
- How does it handle videos with several speakers?
- Because you pick a single voice, all speakers are voiced with the same voice. For interviews and multi-speaker videos, translated subtitles usually work better.
- Can long videos be dubbed?
- Sources have a length limit, shown below the source field. Split long videos into parts and dub each one separately.
