Video Translator
The Video Translator is an AgentReel tool that translates a video of up to 10 minutes into one of 16 languages. You get translated SRT and VTT subtitles, the same subtitles burned into the picture, or a dub in which every speaker talks in the new language with a voice cloned from the original. The music and background sound stay in the dub.
Is it free? No. The translator uses purchased credits. Subtitles cost about 1 credit for a 1 minute video and about 5 credits for 10 minutes. A dub costs about 221 credits per minute. If any step fails, the full price comes back.
Quick answers
Subtitles or a dub: which one do I need?
Subtitles keep the original voices and add text in the new language. They are the cheapest way to reach a new audience. A dub replaces the speech itself, which suits viewers who do not like to read subtitles, children and small screens.
Does the dub keep the speaker's voice?
Yes. Each speaker's voice is cloned from the video and speaks the translation. When a voice cannot be cloned, a similar stock voice speaks instead, and the page tells you.
Which languages are supported?
English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Vietnamese and Polish. The spoken language can be any of these, or the tool detects it.
Which subtitle formats do I get?
SRT and WebVTT. Both work with YouTube, Vimeo, most video editors and the HTML video player. You can also burn the subtitles into the MP4.
What you can make
- A YouTube video with an SRT caption track in another language.
- A short video with burned-in translated subtitles for apps that do not support caption files.
- A dubbed version of a tutorial, an ad or a talk, in the speaker's own voice.
- Translated versions of one video for many markets.

Tips for better results
- Use clear speech. Loud music under the voice, many people talking at once or a strong echo cause transcription errors, and every error carries into the translation.
- Set the spoken language yourself when the video mixes languages or starts with music.
- Keep the caption file when the platform supports it. A separate track can be switched off and replaced later without a new export.
- For a dub, use one or two clear speakers. That gives the most natural cloned voices.
FAQ
How long can my video be?
Up to 10 minutes and 5 GB. Trim a longer video into parts first, for example with the YouTube Clip Maker.
Does the dub keep the music?
Yes. The voices are separated from the rest of the sound track, so music and background sound stay.
Can I use free credits?
No. Video translation uses purchased credits. Free credits pay for Z-Image images, video templates and Code to Video only.
What happens if a translation fails?
The full price returns to your balance automatically, and you can try again.
