How to import a video from a link and translate it
Updated 2026-11-13
If the video is not on your computer, you can import it from an http or https link. The link has to open the video file itself.
Steps
- 1. After you sign in, click "Or import from a video URL" on the homepage.
- 2. Paste an http or https link, check the rights confirmation, and click "Submit".
- 3. When the import works, you see "Video imported. Opening Workspace…" and Workspace opens.
- 4. Finish the translation in "Step 1: Languages", "Step 2: Subtitle style", and "Step 3: Confirm".
Which settings to use
- The link needs to open the video file directly, not a page about the video.
- If the page says "Could not download the video. Check the link or upload locally.", use "Choose video" and upload a file from your computer.
- If you have not checked the rights box, the page says "Please confirm the rights statement first.".
