How to re-generate dialogues after editing 🔁

Update the voiceover after you edit: re-generate one dialogue, a group of dialogues, or every stale dialogue, then regenerate the final mix.

Re-generating creates a dialogue's voiceover again, so it matches your latest text, voice or settings. You can re-generate one dialogue, a group, or every dialogue that needs it.

⚠️ Each re-generation uses credits.

When do I need to re-generate?

  • The dialogue is stale: you edited its text, timing or speaker after the voiceover was generated.

  • The dialogue is muted (crossed-out speaker icon): it has no voiceover yet.

  • You changed a speaker's voice or settings, or the language's speech model, and want to hear the change.

  • A line sounds wrong (odd word, distortion, wrong emphasis).

How do I re-generate one dialogue?

1. Click the dialogue, and edit the text if needed.

2. In the toolbar under it, click Re-generate selected dialogue audio (or press Ctrl + Shift + V).

3. Click the dialogue to listen. The clock icon shows when its voiceover was last generated.

How do I re-generate several dialogues at once?

1. Click any dialogue, then open the multi-select menu (first icon on the toolbar).

2. Choose Manual Selection and tick the dialogues, or pick a group: All, Speed Ups, Slow Downs, Gaps, Warnings, Errors or one speaker.

3. Click Re-generate selected dialogue audio. All selected dialogues are processed together.

How do I re-generate everything that changed?

Press Ctrl + Shift + Z to re-generate all stale dialogues in the current language. Use it after a round of edits, once you're sure the changes are final.

What should I do after re-generating?

Re-generating updates the individual dialogues. To update the video and audio you download:

  • Use Hear Edits above the player to check your changes in context.

  • Click Regenerate final mix at the top of the editor, then Export. See How to download output files.

Tips

  • Test one line first. Before re-generating many dialogues, try the change on one and listen.

  • Don't re-generate the same line over and over. If a word still sounds wrong after a couple of tries, rephrase it or spell it the way it sounds (for example "Beet" instead of "Beat").

  • Fix the cause, not the symptom. Lines that sound rushed or have gaps usually need a shorter or longer translation, not another re-generation. See How to improve your dubbed output.

  • Voice doesn't sound like the speaker? Check the speaker's voice reference and settings in Speaker Settings.
