StreamTranslateUpload your recording to StreamTranslate’s Video/VOD Translator, select the spoken language and up to three subtitle tracks, preview the layout and quote, then process it. Download and review the subtitled video. Select the subtitle-file option beforehand if you also need SRT, VTT and a transcript.
Start with the right file and segment
Choose a recording you have permission to process. The tool accepts MP4, MOV, WebM and MKV within its displayed limits: five seconds to 24 hours and up to 100 GB. Check that audio plays correctly before upload. A silent export or a muted section cannot be fixed by selecting a different translation language.
Process the full video or select only the useful passage. For an interview, keep enough context around the selected answer that the opening line still makes sense. For a tutorial, do not cut away the sentence that identifies the object being discussed. A shorter selection can reduce work and cost, but an arbitrary cut can make accurate translation harder to interpret.
Choose tracks and a readable layout
- Set the language actually spoken in the recording.
- Choose up to three subtitle tracks from the 60-language inventory.
- Decide whether to include the original speech as one of those tracks.
- Adjust font, color and placement in the preview.
- Check the layout against faces, existing text and the intended destination’s interface.
The phone-overlay guides help with placement, but platform interfaces can vary. Review a vertical crop separately from a landscape version. Three tracks may be useful for a particular audience, yet they also occupy more of the picture. Add languages because readers need them, not simply because the tool allows them.
Confirm price and export requirements before processing
The current price is $0.50 to start plus $0.01 per selected second, rounded up to whole seconds. A 60-second selection is $1.10, including the chosen tracks. The five-second minimum applies, and this is a separate purchase from live-caption memberships. Confirm the actual quote and segment duration before checkout.
If another editor or platform needs subtitle files, select that option before the job runs. The main output renders subtitles into the video; the optional files support a different workflow. The linked VEED page combines subtitles with other editing and voice features. StreamTranslate’s subtitle job does not inherit those features or replace the recording’s original voices.
Review, download and retain the approved result
Listen and read together at normal speed. Check the first and last lines, pauses, names, numbers and any sections with music or overlapping speakers. Ask a target-language reviewer to inspect sensitive or ambiguous wording when needed. Also watch without sound to judge whether the visible text is legible long enough to follow.
Download the finished file while it remains available, up to seven days, and keep your own approved copy. Original uploads and working files are deleted after processing; job records are managed separately from video files. Reopen the downloaded artifact to confirm it is the intended version before publishing. A processing success means an export was produced, not that every subtitle has been verified by a person.
Quick answers
Can I paste a video URL instead of uploading a file?
This documented translator workflow uses file uploads. Use a recording you are allowed to process rather than assuming every public platform link can be imported.
Does video translation change the soundtrack?
No. StreamTranslate adds subtitle text over the video. It does not provide dubbed voices, voice cloning or lip-sync replacement in this workflow.
Can I use live-caption hours for a recorded-video job?
No. Recorded translation is a separate purchase based on the selected duration. Review its quote rather than assuming a live-stream membership covers the export.
