What they did

A coding agent directs a local dubbing pipeline line by line: it works out who speaks each line, translates, and re-voices it in each actor's own voice while keeping the music and effects. You get the same file back with the dub as the default track and subtitles in both languages.

How it went

Open-source repo with demo videos (anime and a film). Runs locally; supports JA/ES/KO/ZH to EN and EN to JA/ES

Prompt

Clone the dub-anything repo, then tell your agent: Dub [path/to/video.mkv] from [Japanese] into [English] in each actor's own voice. Keep the original music and sound effects, keep the original audio as a second track, and add subtitles in both languages.
