I have a project I need to get done, and I need to sync audio between those two. They have different languages, but they have similar sound effects in them at the same time they are supposed to have it, meaning only the language is different.

I also want to add that I want to add that, I want the video to one video, and keep the video audio to my other source. Is this possible to archieve and match them up correctly so it's timed well?

Were you able to find the solution to transcribe the voices on your video? what software did you use?

yes. you can do that. Let's say in video 1 the language the actors speak is English. Their mouths move and the sound is recorded according to the language they are speaking.

Then there is another video ( video 2 ). Now the actors are speaking French. Their mouths move and the sound recorded is French.

Now you make the two videos on your edit and the mouths moving match the language they are speaking. How cool is that ??

Then there are other sounds … like 'sound effects'... at the same time they are supposed to have it. I guess this would be like a door closing in the shot, or a dog barking, or something like that ?  Easy... just include the door and doggy sound in both videos !!!

Other than that I think there is a thing called 'subtitles' or whatever they call it... where a film is shown in a specific language ( their mouths move according to that language ) BUT since people watching the video don't KNOW that language, there is text that appears ( usually at the bottom of the frame ) which tells the audience what the actors are saying.

I don't think the dog barking or the door closing needs to have a specific text to describe it... cause most people recognize when Rover barks or a door closes..

I just remembered... I think it's called 'captions' not subtitles.. like closed captions or open captions ???

Well, how do I do this? I tried to use the "Synchronize" feature but it didn't sync since obviously it's in two different languages.
