Exact outputs

Ask for the package your distribution chain needs

A VOD Express recipe declares every deliverable before processing begins: a multilingual master, separate language assets, caption files or all three.

Multilingual video masters

Return video with the original audio, selected dubbed tracks and the caption or subtitle streams you specify.

Audio by language

Create a separate MP3, M4A, WAV or OGG asset for each dubbed language, named for downstream automation.

Captions and subtitles

Produce standalone caption files, muxed subtitle tracks or embedded EIA-608 alongside the dubbed output.

Mixed language jobs

Dub the markets that need a voice and return caption-only languages from the same source job.

No review queue

There is no transcript editor, caption editor or human handoff between the input file and its declared outputs.

Built for the backlog and what comes next

Run large batches in parallel, then keep watching for new media as it lands.

How it works

Your bucket becomes a localization pipeline

Watch

Point VOD Express at an S3 input folder for a one-time batch or continuous processing as new media lands.

Understand

Transcribe the source with the language engine and terminology configuration chosen for the workflow.

Translate and dub

Build the target-language text, then create dubbed audio for the languages that need it.

Package and return

Mix the declared video, audio and subtitle assets, apply stable names and write them to the output folder.

Built past the model

More than a model behind an upload box

The model handles the words. VOD Express also makes the exact files your supply chain expects and recovers cleanly when a long job is interrupted.

The handoff stays predictable

Stable filenames, output folders and language metadata let the next system pick up the package without interpretation.

Packaging stays explicit

Track order, codecs, language metadata, containers and filenames are declared instead of guessed after processing.

A retry does not start from zero

If a long job is interrupted, completed intermediate work can be reused when the file and configuration have not changed.

Frequently asked questions

Can VOD Express dub a video file?

Yes. VOD Express can return dubbed video, one audio file per language, captions, subtitles or a declared combination of them. AI dubbing is best suited to news, sports, documentaries, events and narrational content, not scripted films or series that need studio editorial treatment.

What outputs can VOD Express produce?

VOD Express can return video masters with original and selected dubbed audio tracks, separate per-language audio files, standalone caption or subtitle files, embedded EIA-608 and muxed subtitle tracks. The recipe declares the exact outputs, track order and filenames before the job runs.

Can some languages be subtitle-only and others dubbed?

Yes. A target language can produce captions and subtitles without text-to-speech, while other languages in the same job produce both text and dubbed audio. Each final file includes only the tracks declared for it.

How do files get in and out?

Recurring workflows use an S3 input folder, an S3 output folder and a separate state folder. VOD Express can process the files already present once or keep watching for new media. Single-file jobs are also supported. Stable naming templates make the results predictable for the next system in the chain.

Can we review captions before publishing?

VOD Express has no transcript editor, caption editor or human review queue. That is what lets a recurring file workflow stay automated. Custom ASR dictionaries prepare names and terminology before processing. If editorial review is mandatory, tell us before the proof of concept so we can scope the right workflow.

What content is VOD Express right for?

VOD Express is designed for news, sports, documentaries, recorded events, lectures, enterprise video and recurring media libraries. It is not a studio dubbing service for scripted drama or content that depends on line-by-line editorial nuance.

How is VOD Express priced?

Pricing follows the languages and outputs the workflow produces, with committed-volume options for recurring libraries. See the pricing page, or bring us a representative batch and we will size the real job.
