This guide walks you through a complete dub in the CAMB.AI editor, from the moment your video is uploaded to downloading the dubbed file. The editor guides you through three steps with a banner at the top of the screen and one orange button to move on.

Before you start: what you'll see
When you start a project, CAMB.AI shows how many credits it will need depending on the duration and amount of automated process (for example "Requires 3,300 credits for 1 minute 37 seconds till transcription only"). It then transcribes, translates and dubs the video and emails you when the project is ready. Open it from your project list.
Top bar: back arrow, project name, the mode switcher, a tab for each language, + to add a language, and on the right the AI agent (sparkle), active tasks and export icons.
Left toolbar: transcript, speakers, subtitle style, Aa (TXT import/export) and settings.
Centre: the list of dialogues. Right: video player. Bottom: the timeline.
Step 1: Review the transcript
The original-language tab opens first, with the banner "Review the transcript and fix any mistakes before translating."
Read each dialogue and fix spelling, names and wrong words. See How to edit the transcript.
Check the speaker on each line. CAMB.AI names speakers by how they look in the video, for example "Host" or "Male guest in black blazer". Rename them or change a line's speaker in the Speakers panel. See How to add, change or remove a speaker.
Check the timestamps: each dialogue shows its start and end time.
When it looks right, click Looks good, translate. Fixing mistakes now saves you from fixing them in every language later.
Step 2: Review the translation
While the translation is generated, the button shows Generating…. Open the target-language tab (for example German (GE)). The banner now reads "Review the translation and edit anything that looks off before generating audio."
Each dialogue shows the translation, with the original line underneath for comparison.
Edit any line directly, or use spot re-translate on the dialogue toolbar to translate one line again. Use Re-translate to redo the whole language, for example after fixing the transcript.
The crossed-out speaker icon on each line means no audio has been generated yet.
Before generating audio, check each speaker's voice in the Speakers panel. See Speaker settings.
When you're happy, click Looks good, preview mix. CAMB.AI generates the voiceover for every dialogue and mixes it with the background audio. More on translations: How to generate and review AI translations.
Step 3: Check the final mix and export
When the banner says "Your final mix is ready, click export to download", play the video and listen.
A bar above the dialogues counts lines that need attention, such as "15 dialogues with speedups". Use the arrows to jump between them. See How to improve your dubbed output.
Fix a line with the dialogue toolbar (regenerate, adjust speed, crop, volume and more). See The dialogue toolbar: every button explained.
Above the player, Hear Edits plays your latest changes straight away, and Hear Final Mix plays the last rendered mix. After making edits, click Regenerate final mix so the mix and your downloads include them.
Click Export to download the dubbed video (.MP4), audio, background track, speaker tracks or subtitles. See How to download output files.
You may be asked to rate your experience with the language. It takes one click and helps us improve the dubs.
How do I know something is still processing?
Click the active tasks icon in the top-right corner (it shows a number while jobs are running). It lists what's in progress, for example "Generating translations · German (Germany)". You can keep working or leave the page; the job carries on.
How do I add another language?
Click + next to the language tabs, choose the target language and pick:
Generate Translation: text only, for subtitles, without audio.
Generate Translation And Dub: translation plus voiceover in that language.
What are Dubbing, Subtitles and Narration mode?
The switcher next to the project name changes what the editor is set up for. Dubbing mode is the workflow above. Subtitles mode and Narration mode let you work on subtitles or a narration for the same video without starting a new project.
