Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know the target language to create these translations?
No, the AI tools handle the translation and voice generation. However, if possible, having a native speaker review the content can help ensure accuracy.
How many languages can I translate to with this workflow?
This workflow supports translation to any language supported by both the translation tool and ElevenLabs. Currently, that's over 30 major languages.
Will the lip sync look natural in the final video?
Runway's lip sync technology is quite advanced, but results may vary depending on how visible the speaker's mouth is in the video. For talking head videos, the results are generally very good.
How much does this workflow cost per video?
Costs vary based on video length, but for a typical 60-second Short, expect to spend about $5-15 total across the paid tools (primarily ElevenLabs and Runway).
