Why dub your YouTube videos
Your channel's reach stops at the language you speak. A dub opens the same video to viewers who would never read subtitles. Morphic translates what you say, voices it in your own voice and syncs your lips, so new viewers see you speaking their language. Add subtitles after, and publish.

How to dub a YouTube video in Morphic
Prepare the video
Start from your final edit. Each dub takes up to 10 minutes of video, so split a longer upload into parts at natural pauses in Compose. If music or sound effects sit under your voice, ask for Morphic Dub Pro, which keeps the background audio.
Ask Copilot for the dub
Upload the video to a Copilot chat and name the language, for example "Dub Video 1 into Spanish". Name anything that must stay as it is, such as your channel name. Copilot returns the video in Spanish, in your voice, with your lips synced.
Add subtitles, then publish
Ask for subtitles in the new language and download the subtitle file. Upload the dubbed version as its own video, or, if your channel has YouTube's multi-language audio option, add the dub's audio as a new language track on the original.

What to check before you publish
- Names and terms. Listen for your name, your channel and product names. Name them in the request so the dub keeps them as they are.
- On-screen text. A dub changes the speech only. Titles, captions and graphics in the frame stay in the original language, so plan subtitles or new graphics for them.
- Title, description and thumbnail. Translate these too. A dubbed video found under an English title rarely reaches the new audience.
- One language at a time. Each dub is one language, so three markets means three dubs of the same video.
Dub, subtitles or both?
| Approach | What viewers get | When it fits |

| Dub only | Your voice speaking their language | Vlogs, tutorials and anything watched while doing something else |
| Dub and subtitles | Both, plus captions for muted viewing | Your main markets and Shorts that autoplay without sound |
