Dubbing — Studio
Dubbing lets you translate the audio in your video into another language with lip sync applied automatically. Upload your video and audio, pick a target language, and Sync Labs generates a dubbed output with matching lip movements.
Dubbing is supported across all Sync Labs models. Available languages are determined by the ElevenLabs dubbing endpoint.
What does dubbing cost?
A lip-synced dub has two charges: dubbing audio plus the selected lip sync model. See dubbing pricing for dollar rates, rounding, rollout timing, and connected ElevenLabs API keys. Credit-billed accounts use dubbing credit pricing.
Free accounts share 10 monthly audio generations between text-to-speech and dubbing. Up to 3 of those 10 can be dubbing, with a 20-second source limit per free dub. If you do not use dubbing, all 10 can be used for text-to-speech. Lip sync uses its own free allowance. See Free Trial.
Dub a video
Choose your media
Create a project and upload the source video. Use its audio or select upload audio to supply another track. To create audio from a script, select text to speech and generate the speech first.
Follow dubbing progress
Studio shows estimated time remaining when available, or elapsed time otherwise. A longer-than-usual message does not mean the dub failed. Keep checking the existing job.
If dubbing fails, follow the displayed Try again or Contact support action. If Studio cannot check the job’s status, use Retry to check the same job again.
Translate part of a timeline
In Studio Pro, mark a range with Mark in and Mark out, then select the translate icon in the timeline toolbar. Without a marked range, translation uses the selected clip, or the whole video if no clip is selected. You can also right-click a clip and select Translate this clip.
To keep a reaction shot or cutaway unchanged while the new audio plays, mark that footage No lipsync.
