Shorts
Our studio partners require a 10–15 minute minimum to begin a production session. Because of this requirement, we can’t accommodate individual shorts in real time as they come in.
We recommend sending 10–15 shorts together so that their combined runtime meets the 10–15 minute threshold.
Combining With Long-Form Submissions
If you have a longer video (e.g., a standard YouTube upload), you can add individual shorts to that same batch.
- As long as the total runtime hits the 10–15 minute minimum, we can include any shorts alongside your long-form content.

You do. We guarantee the transfer of all ownership rights for all localized content indefinitely.
60 locations.
Around 200 per studio and 500 individual remote actors.
600 on-hand translators + 400 extra if needed.
30 in-house engineers.
The mixing & editing is done by our internal team.
We have our native proofreaders in all languages who decide about language issues at the translation qc stage, before the recording takes place. After this they are recorded in our regional partner studios with native dubbing directors and sound engineers.
After we’ve done the editing and mixing, our master sound engineer checks the final files before uploading.
