When people use this pair

English engineering standups and architecture talks for Russian-speaking teams who need Cyrillic on the picture, not a Latin transliteration. Set source to English and target to Russian after upload. Dubbing in Russian is a later, optional step.

English research seminars and vendor trainings that CIS offices will replay. Burn Russian-only or bilingual English plus Russian. The Russian line is a translation of the English transcript timed to the original speech, not a new lecture you type in a caption tool.

English compliance and safety modules for Russian-speaking contractors. Sign-in first. Short eligible clips may preview free. Full download and subtitle export spend credits. Basic dubbing is free and is not charged extra. Premium dubbing is paid in the iOS and Android apps. This is not a document translator for GOST PDFs and not a visual lip-sync product.

Subtitles for Russian

Russian subtitles use Cyrillic. Do not expect Latin-script Russian on this pair. You may burn Russian alone or bilingual English plus Russian. Timing follows the English speech; VidDub is not a full subtitle editor for restyling every cue. It does not translate Word files. Arabic RTL rules do not apply; Cyrillic runs left to right. Files are removed after about 24 hours, so export while the job is live.

Dubbing in Russian

Russian dubbing runs only after the Russian translation finishes. Basic dubbing is free and is not charged extra. Premium dubbing is paid in the iOS and Android apps. Alignment tracks the original English speech timeline. There is no voice cloning of the English speaker and no lip replacement on the video. Skip dubbing if burned-in Cyrillic is enough. Eligible short previews are not the same as a finished dubbed download. Subtitle export is also a credited step.

Why is the Russian line in Cyrillic?

Russian on VidDub is written in Cyrillic. This pair is for English-spoken video that needs that script burned in, optionally with English on a second line.

Can I start a Russian voice before translation ends?

No. Dubbing starts only after the Russian translation. It is optional and timeline-aligned. Basic dubbing is free and is not charged extra. Premium dubbing is paid in the iOS and Android apps, and not cloning or lip-sync.

Is this a subtitle workstation?

No. You get burned-in Russian or bilingual English plus Russian. You do not get a professional caption suite, and you do not get a document translator.

How long are files kept?

About 24 hours. Sign-in is required. Eligible short videos can preview free; full download and subtitle export need credits. Basic dubbing is free and is not charged extra. Premium dubbing is paid in the iOS and Android apps.
