Overview

VideoDB makes video dubbing incredibly simple with AI-powered translation and voice synthesis. With just one function call, you can dub your videos into multiple languages while preserving the original speaking style and timing. No need for complex audio editing, timeline manipulation, or third-party tools. VideoDB’s coll.dub_video() handles everything automatically.

​
Prerequisites

Ensure you have VideoDB installed in your environment and an API key from VideoDB Console. The first 50 uploads are free with no credit card required!
!pip install videodb

​
Connect to VideoDB

Connect to VideoDB using your API key: 
import videodb

# Connect to VideoDB
api_key = "your_api_key"
conn = videodb.connect(api_key=api_key)
coll = conn.get_collection()

​
Upload Your Video

Upload the video you want to dub. For this example, we’ll use an English video: 
# Upload the original video (English)
video_url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e3GPea1Tyg"
video = coll.upload(url=video_url)

print(f"Video uploaded: {video.id}")

​
Preview the Original

Python
video.play()

​
Dub Your Video

Here’s where the magic happens! Dub your video into any supported language with a single function call:
# Dub the video into Hindi
dubbed_video = coll.dub_video(
    video_id=video.id,
    language_code="hi"  # Hindi
)

print(f"Video dubbed successfully: {dubbed_video.id}")
That’s it! VideoDB automatically dubbed your video.
