Decision factors for video localization
Test the exact source footage, including speakers, edits, movement, and framing, before selecting a workflow.
Validate runtime support, plan limits, review needs, and export requirements with the source footage you intend to localize.
Where each workflow may fit
Consider HeyGen when:
The project may benefit from video translation or avatar creation; validate the exact workflow against the source footage.
The team wants to evaluate avatar creation alongside video translation.
The project’s runtime, review steps, and delivery requirements fit the selected plan.
Consider LipDub when:
The team is localizing existing video and needs to test the complete source footage in the intended workflow.
The project requires a review process for translated dialogue, visual alignment, and final exports.
The role of the speaker on camera and the creative brief make optional lip sync worth evaluating.
How to choose between LipDub and HeyGen
Choose based on the source footage you need to localize, the visual treatment you want, and whether avatar creation is part of the brief.
Start with the footage
For an existing people-led video, review the actual footage: speakers, edits, movement, framing, and on-screen context.
Decide whether avatar creation is in scope
If avatar creation is part of the brief, include HeyGen in the evaluation and assess whether the treatment suits the creative brief and audience.
Review the localization workflow
Review translated dialogue, visual treatment, audio, and final exports against the brief.
