Video Localization Services in Spanish & Portuguese
Send us your English video. We hand it back fully localized: native voice, translated subtitles, and every on-screen text and graphic rebuilt in Spanish or Portuguese. Not just translated, re-edited.
Most video translation stops halfway
A translation agency sends you a subtitle file. An AI tool swaps the voice. Your video still has English titles, English callouts, and English graphics all over it.
are not localization
Viewers still see English on every lower third and product callout
sound imported
Wrong accent, wrong emphasis, and mangled brand names
get left in English
Agencies translate words, they do not open your After Effects project
double the back and forth
Translator in one place, editor in another, and you in the middle
Every layer of your video,
adapted by editors
We are a video editing studio first. That is the difference: translation is only step one, the rest happens inside the edit.
Voice and dubbing
The original voice is the first thing that gives the video away.
Native Spanish or Portuguese voice over, recorded to the timing of your cut and mixed back under your music and sound effects.
Hear our voices →Subtitle translation
Machine subtitles break mid-sentence and miss the meaning.
Translated and re-timed subtitles, delivered as SRT/VTT or burned in with your caption style.

An English title card in a Spanish video looks unfinished.
Titles, lower thirds, callouts, and UI labels translated and replaced in the edit, matching your fonts and animation.
Graphics and motion
Text baked into graphics is where most localizations give up.
We rebuild animated text and motion graphics in the new language, from your project files or recreated from the export.
Script adaptation
Literal translation sounds stiff and runs longer than the shot.
Idioms, units, prices, and references adapted for the market, and trimmed so the new language fits the original timing.
Audio mix and QA
A new voice pasted on top of the old mix sounds cheap.
Full remix of voice, music, and effects, then a native review of the final video before delivery.

Video localization FAQ
What is video localization?
Video localization adapts a finished video for a new language and market. It goes beyond translation: we replace the voice, translate and re-time the subtitles, and rebuild every piece of on-screen text and graphics so the video looks and sounds like it was made in that language from day one.
What is the difference between video translation and video localization?
Video translation usually means translated subtitles or a translated script. Localization delivers the whole video in the new language: native voice, subtitles, on-screen text, and graphics, with idioms, units, and cultural references adapted so they land with the local audience.
How much does video localization cost?
Our full localization starts at $45 per finished minute, per language, with a $149 minimum per video. Subtitle-only localization starts at $8 per minute. Large libraries, courses, and recurring volume get custom rates.
Do you use AI dubbing or real voices?
Real native voices. AI dubbing tools are fine for a rough internal draft, but they mispronounce product names, flatten emotion, and get the regional accent wrong. For anything customer-facing we record with native speakers and mix the voice properly into your video.
Which languages do you localize into?
Spanish and Portuguese, from English source videos. Our native voices are Castilian Spanish (Spain) and European Portuguese (Portugal). Subtitles and on-screen text can also be adapted for Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. Ask us if you need a different variant.
Do you need my original project files?
They help, but they are not required. With the project files (Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut, DaVinci) we swap text directly in the graphics. With only the final export, we rebuild the on-screen text and graphics on top of the video so they match the original design.
Which editing software do you work with?
Final Cut Pro, the Adobe suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition), and DaVinci Resolve. Send us your project in any of them and we localize it natively, keeping your timeline, titles, and graphics editable, so you get back a project file your team can keep working on.
How long does it take?
A short ad or social video is usually ready in 2 to 3 business days per language. A 10-minute tutorial takes around 5 business days. Courses and larger libraries are delivered in batches on an agreed schedule.
