How to upload your first video to TutDub

This one walks you through the upload screen start to finish. No side-quests, no theory. Just the clicks and why they exist.

If you've already poked around the app, feel free to jump to whichever step you're curious about.

Before anything: your account

You need an account to upload, and every new one comes with three welcome credits — enough to dub a few minutes of video before you spend a cent. Tweet about TutDub and you'll get another 15 free credits on top. Sign up, and you're ready to go.

Step 1: pick your file

Open the upload page and you'll see a dropzone. Two options here:

• Drag and drop your video straight onto it.
• Click anywhere inside the box to browse your files.

Accepted formats are MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI. Most plans allow up to 30 minutes; Pro goes up to two hours, and Business stretches to three.

TutDub reads the file locally in your browser first, grabs the duration and a thumbnail, and shows you a preview card. Nothing leaves your machine until you click the final button, so take your time.

Once the file appears, you can optionally give it a name. TutDub pulls a sensible title from the filename automatically, but renaming helps you find the video quickly later in your dashboard.

Step 2: choose your target languages

Click + Add language below the file card and a searchable list drops open. Pick one language or pick them all — each language you add becomes its own finished video. You can type to filter the list, and a counter at the bottom of the dropdown keeps track so you don't have to.

Step 3: configure a few things

Three options appear below the language picker.

Source language — tell TutDub what language you originally recorded in, or leave it on Auto-detect and let the app figure it out. In practice auto-detect works well for anything in the supported language list, so most people skip this.

Remove background noise — a quick toggle that runs basic denoising on your audio track before dubbing. Handy for recordings with keyboard clatter or a buzzing fan in the background.

Adapt video timeline — lets each dubbed version stretch or compress slightly to fit the natural pace of that language. Some languages run faster, some slower, and this makes the final video feel natural rather than forced. This one is only available on Pro and above; on lower plans it stays locked and the button offers an upgrade link.

Email me when done — pretty self-explanatory. If your video is twenty minutes long and you'd rather make tea while it works, flip this on and you'll get a link the moment it's ready.

The two checkboxes

Before the big button lights up, there are two consent checkboxes.

• Author consent: you confirm you have the right to use and distribute this video.
• Voice consent: you acknowledge that TutDub will clone your voice from the recording, and that your voice data stays protected under our voice policy.

Both are there because they should be. Tick them and the button turns on.

Click "TutDub"

The button shows a live upload percentage while the file travels to the server. Once it arrives, TutDub works through six stages behind the scenes:

1. Uploading your file
2. Transcribing your speech
3. Cleaning out filler words and background noise
4. Cloning your voice from the original recording
5. Dubbing the translated script in your cloned voice, for each language
6. Exporting finished, ready-to-publish video files

You can close the tab. If you toggled the email notification, you'll get a ping when all your languages are done. Otherwise the dashboard shows a live progress bar for each language, with green checkmarks stacking up one by one as they finish.

What it costs

The cost sits in the right sidebar the whole time you're filling in the form. One credit dubs one minute of video, multiplied by however many languages you picked. A ten-minute lesson in two languages costs twenty credits. The sidebar updates live as you add languages, so there are no surprises when you hit the button.

After it finishes

Once all your languages are done, each one appears on your dashboard as its own card, with a play button, download link, and the flag of the language it was dubbed into. Download them, upload directly to Udemy or YouTube, or just bookmark them for later. One important detail: the exported video files stay on the server for 96 hours after processing finishes, so grab them while they're there.

That's it. One upload, multiple languages, same voice.

FAQ

1. What formats does TutDub accept?

   Video: MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI. Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC. If your file isn't in one of those, most free converters will repackage it in seconds.

2. How long can my video be?

   Most plans allow up to 30 minutes, Pro goes up to two hours, and Business stretches to three. The exact cap is visible on the upload screen itself.

3. Do I need to speak the original language perfectly?

   No. The transcription model works well across accents, and TutDub removes filler words and background noise before it gets to the translation stage. A casual, unscripted recording is usually fine.

4. What is the source language dropdown for?

   It tells TutDub what language you originally recorded in. If you're not sure, Auto-detect handles it.

5. How long does processing take?

   It depends on the length of your video, how many languages you chose, and where you sit in the queue. Most tutorials under fifteen minutes come back in a few minutes; longer videos take proportionally longer. Higher-tier plans get access to a priority processing queue, so they jump ahead of free-tier jobs when things are busy.

6. What happens if I close my browser while it's processing?

   Nothing. Processing runs on TutDub's servers, so you can close the tab and come back whenever you like. If you switched on the email notification, you'll get a link as soon as it finishes.

7. Can I add more languages later?

   Yes. Open the video from your dashboard and tap Add language to queue more versions. The cost is the same per minute as the original dub. Already-translated languages are locked out so there's no double-purchase.

8. How long are the exported files available?

   Ninety-six hours after processing finishes. The dashboard shows a countdown on each card, so download them before they expire. You can always re-dub the same video later if the files have been removed.

9. Is my voice data saved permanently?

   No. TutDub does not create or store a persistent voice model or voiceprint. The short audio slice used for cloning is deleted automatically the moment the job finishes. The only files kept are the dubbed video outputs, which are permanently removed after 96 hours. The full details are in our voice policy.
