Motion graphics and video localization
We translate the on-screen text in your After Effects, Premiere Pro and Animate projects, rebuild each scene so the new words fit, and render a finished video for every language. Voice-over and subtitles can go in the same job.

Why the source files matter
Text that's animated can't be fixed with subtitles. To change it, someone has to open the project, replace each text layer, and adjust the timing and layout so longer words still fit and still move the way they should.
If you only have the final MP4, we can still help. We rebuild the text scenes from the video, or add subtitles and voice-over and leave the picture as it is. We'll tell you which makes sense when we see the file.

Questions about motion graphics localization
Do you need the After Effects project file?
It's the best way, because we can replace each text layer and keep your animation. If you only have the final video, we can rebuild the text scenes or add subtitles and voice-over instead.
Can you localize videos into right-to-left languages?
Yes. For Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi, designers mirror the layout where it matters, set the text right to left and use fonts that support the script.
Do you record voice-over?
Yes. Native voice artists record to your translated script, and we sync the recording to the animation. You can listen to voice samples and choose before recording.
What should we send?
The project files, with all linked footage, images and fonts collected in one folder. In After Effects, File, Dependencies, Collect Files does this for you. Add the voice-over script if there is one.
How is video localization priced?
By the length of the video, the number of text layers and scenes, and whether it needs voice-over. You get a fixed quote per language after we've seen the files.
Send us your video project
Send the project files or a link to the video, or book a call. We reply with a fixed quote per language.
