04 / Video Localization

Video localization.
A consistent video in every language.

We adapt training videos, instructions, product presentations and marketing materials for additional languages, bringing visuals, text, subtitles and audio together.

We support localization teams in multilingual video production. Your team provides approved translations; we handle on-screen text, graphics, editing and checks of the final video versions.

Video Localization

Scope of support / Video Localization

Beyond translated text. Localization of the whole visual experience.

Title cards, animated captions, charts, screenshots and narration need to work together. We first identify elements requiring localization and agree how to prepare them for production.

ANALYSIS

Video source analysis

We check editable Premiere Pro or After Effects projects, fonts, graphics and linked assets. We identify on-screen text (OST) and materials for translation. If only a rendered video is available, we analyze representative scenes and assess text reconstruction options.

OST

On-screen text and animation

We insert translated title cards, captions, headings and animated on-screen text (OST). We adapt text frames, layouts, display duration and animation to target-language length while preserving the video’s character.

GRAPHICS

Graphics and screenshots

We localize diagrams, charts and illustrations, reconstructing elements without editable source files where included in scope. We adapt screenshots and interface materials to the approved product language version.

MEDIA

Subtitles and voice tracks

We integrate translated subtitles and supplied or newly generated TTS audio. We check synchronization with the visuals and narration length. Transcription, subtitle production and recording scope are defined in the quote.

EDITING

Editing language versions

We work in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or the agreed project environment. We adapt sequences, transitions and audio tracks and export to the target publication channel’s specification.

QA

Video review and checks

We prepare SME review versions in Frame.io, collect approved feedback and implement corrections. We check text, framing, audio, subtitles and completeness of language versions before handover.

EXCHANGE

OST text export and import

Where the project structure allows, we export on-screen text with scene or layer IDs for translation. We agree an exchange format and import translations back into the project. A sample verifies correct mapping and reduces manual text entry.

REBUILD

OST reconstruction without source files

Only have the finished video? We assess whether source text can be removed, the background reconstructed and editable text layers added in After Effects or Premiere Pro. We match style, placement and motion. The scope and achievable quality are evaluated on sample scenes.

How we work together

Clear responsibilities. Agreed approval points.

We adapt the scope to your project. Your team makes linguistic and subject-matter decisions, while KeboDesign handles the agreed production and technical checks.

1Brief and video analysis

Your team

You provide the video, source files, target languages, publication channels and deadline.

KeboDesign

We identify text and multimedia, check source availability and agree scope, costs and delivery formats.

2Preparation for translation

Your team

You approve the content inventory and provide translations and brand guidelines.

KeboDesign

We prepare OST, scripts, subtitles and a graphics inventory for translation. Where possible, we export text with IDs to streamline reimport after translation.

3Localized video production

Your team

You answer language queries and approve any content changes.

KeboDesign

We insert text and adapt graphics, animation, narration and subtitles. We edit and export a review version.

4Review in context

Your team

Your SME watches the video and submits feedback in Frame.io, linked to timestamps or scenes.

KeboDesign

We implement approved corrections and check their impact on layout, synchronization and editing.

5QA and delivery

Your team

You confirm linguistic approval and publication requirements.

KeboDesign

We check the final render and package completeness. We deliver videos and the agreed source or accompanying files.

Source files and reconstruction

Editable project or finished render? We’ll define the best approach.

An editable Adobe Premiere Pro (.prproj) or After Effects (.aep) project with assets makes OST export and replacement easier. If you only have MP4, MOV or WebM, we assess whether source on-screen text can be removed, the background rebuilt and editable target-language text added.

We define reconstruction scope from a sample: a static title card and text over a moving background can require very different work. We quote after analyzing specific scenes.

Materials for a quote

What helps us plan the work?

  • Reference video and available editing, animation and graphic source files.
  • Target languages, approved translations, script and brand guidelines.
  • Details of subtitles, narration, screenshots and other localized elements.
  • Resolution, aspect ratio, delivery formats, deadline and SME review plan.

Questions / Video Localization

Let’s define the right scope of support.

Does video localization include on-screen text?

Yes. We can adapt title cards, captions, animated text, diagrams and graphics. We first identify OST elements and check whether editable source files are available.

Can a video be localized without an editable Premiere Pro project?

Yes. We can assess a finished MP4, MOV or WebM without .prproj or .aep files. We check whether source OST can be removed and replaced with editable text. Background motion, animation and image quality affect reconstruction scope; we request sample challenging scenes before quoting.

Who translates the video?

Your language team supplies and approves translations. We prepare materials for localization, implement the content and handle technical and visual production.

Can a video have both subtitles and TTS narration?

Yes. We agree the scope of both tracks and check their alignment with the visuals. Narration samples and subtitle styles are approved before final production.

How should video corrections be submitted?

Timestamped comments in Frame.io are the most convenient option. We can also use an agreed scene or timecode list. Language feedback requires approval from the client’s team.

Which final formats are available?

We prepare MP4 for online publication, WebM for the web and high-resolution MOV files, such as Full HD or 4K, according to the specification. Subtitles can be burned in, delivered separately as SRT/VTT or embedded as a track in a compatible container. Embedding depends on the subtitle format and target player. We also agree the codec, aspect ratio and handover of Premiere Pro / After Effects projects.
