What is AI dubbing?

AI dubbing is the translation of video or audio dialogue using artificial intelligence. With Translate Video, Adobe Firefly recognises speech and translates it into a different language while matching the original speaker’s voice. This makes it easier for you to connect with a wider global audience.

How to use AI dubbing with Firefly.

To begin AI dubbing, upload your video or audio file to the platform and choose the target languages. The tool analyses the speech, translates the dialogue, and generates a new voice track that aligns with the original timing. Once reviewed, you can finalise and export your dubbed content in minutes. Follow this simple step-by-step process if you’re using Adobe Firefly:

  1. Log in to Adobe Firefly.
    Go the Video section of the web app and select Translate Video.
  2. Upload your file.
    Select Browse Files or drag and drop to upload the video or audio file you want to translate. The recording must be in one of the available languages, contain at least five consecutive seconds of speech by a single speaker and be no longer than five minutes.
  3. Choose new languages.
    Once your file has finished uploading, you can select languages for translation.
  4. Translate the audio.
    Click Generate to begin translating your files. A progress bar will show the status of the dubbing process. If you close the page and return later, you can download the new files from the Your Media section.

Different ways to leverage and use AI dubbing for your videos.

AI dubbing isn’t limited to one type of project. From casual videos to polished productions, it can support a wide range of needs. Explore these AI dubbing use cases to see how you can apply the technology effectively in your own content.

Reach out to friends and family.

Want to share a video with grandma, but she doesn’t speak the language? If you have family across the world, it can sometimes be tricky translating between locations but with AI dubbing you can record messages and send them out in multiple languages.

Adapt your content to different cultures with AI dubbing.

AI dubbing does more than just translate your words—it helps make your message culturally relevant. Even when two countries share a language, the way people speak and understand certain phrases can differ. For example, a reference that makes sense in Scotland might not land the same way in Australia. AI dubbing can help you adjust not just the language, but also the context, so your content resonates with different audiences.

Keep your viewers eyes on screen.

Subtitles, while small, can take your viewers eyes away from the action. If you’re showing your videos to audiences that require translation but don’t want viewers to look away, then AI dubbing may work for you.

Create global content with AI dubbing tools for social media and YouTube.

It’s easier to reach international audiences than ever before with social media. If you find you’re attracting viewers from around the globe, then being able to tailor your videos will increase your engagement as a content creator. AI dubbing means that you don’t need to learn a new language, instead you can translate directly in Firefly.

Remix content from the community.

Dive into community-created Firefly prompts and use them as a starting point for your own projects. Remix existing ideas, adapt them to suit your content, and test new creative directions. When you’re ready, share your finished videos in the gallery to showcase your work.

AI dubbing generator FAQs

How does AI dubbing software work?

How is AI dubbing different from traditional dubbing?

AI dubbing uses generative AI to translate spoken dialogue while preserving the original speaker's voice characteristics.

Can AI dubbing match lip movement?

Yes, AI dubbing can match the speaker’s mouth movements to the translated audio. Lip sync is available only to users on select Adobe Creative Cloud for enterprise plans. You can also deselect this feature if you prefer audio translation without lip synchronisation.
