What is an AI video translator?

An AI video translator turns a video into another language. In Pictory you open your video project, click Translate and pick one or more languages. Pictory translates the script, captions and on-screen text into a new project for each language, then you add an AI voice in that language.

Your original stays as it is. Each language is its own project, named with a prefix such as “(ES) Employee onboarding”, with the same visuals, scenes and aspect ratio.

For translated subtitles only, see the subtitle translator. For a new voice in another language, see AI dubbing.
