Dub Together packs turn video clips into playable dubbing rounds, and the built-in Pack Creator lets you make one from footage you supply. Import and trim the video, review its detected speech and text, assign roles, then export the pack. The only bundled pack named by the official listing is a Sprite Fright excerpt from Blender Studio. Additional packs come from players through Steam Workshop, where you can subscribe or upload material you have the rights to share.
Choose a video you can use
Begin with the video itself, because Pack Creator processes material you provide rather than inventing a scene for you. The official listing requires the necessary rights for anything uploaded, including permission from the rights holders for other people's films, shows or music. Your own footage or footage supplied with suitable permission gives you a clear starting point for deciding what you can prepare and share.
A pack and an exported performance serve different purposes: the pack supplies the round, while the saved performance contains the dub your group recorded. Decide which part of the video you want players to perform before you start arranging its lines. If your goal is simply to try the game, the named included excerpt provides a starting option without needing to identify an additional movie pack.
Import and trim in Pack Creator
Open Pack Creator with your supplied video and trim it to the portion you want to use. The official description documents importing a clip and cutting it down before turning its speech into playable lines. Choose a portion whose beginning and ending make sense for the performance, so your group can follow the exchange when the round plays.
Use the amount of dialogue you want to perform as your guide when choosing that portion. Workshop line-count filters group packs into ranges, but those ranges do not supply an exact duration for your own round. The documented round timer allows rerecording while it is running, and the sources give no fixed timer length that you should build your clip around.
Review detected speech and line text
Pack Creator automatically detects the spoken parts and writes matching line text for them. It also separates speech, music and background sound, letting the scene retain its atmosphere when original voices are replaced. Review the detected text and where each line belongs before exporting, because your friends will use those lines as the prompts for their recordings.
The September 15 update adds a + NEW LINE button that creates a line at the current playhead position. That gives you a documented way to insert a line when preparing the pack instead of assuming the automatic pass already produced everything you need. The speech recognition, noise filtering and speech/background separation models run locally on your machine, according to the official disclosure, and process the material you supply.
Assign roles for your group
Assign a character or role to each line after reviewing the detected dialogue. In Character mode, every character gets one performer, the group records together, and roles nobody takes retain their original voices. Character mode requires at least two players, so use your intended group when deciding which roles should be available for the shared performance.
Online lobbies support up to six players, even though Workshop role tags can show 6+. The tag describes a pack's roles and does not enlarge the lobby or guarantee that every role will receive a separate player. Parallel mode offers another use for the same clip: each player records a separate version, the group watches them in turn, and voting selects a favourite.
Export, test and repair the pack
Export the finished pack once its clip, text and role assignments are ready. The official listing says an exported pack can be played immediately, so use a round to check whether the supplied dialogue and assigned roles produce the performance you intended. During that round, a player can repeat a recording while the timer still runs instead of treating the first take as final.
If the source video is missing when you return to editing, the September 15 notes document FIND VIDEO for relinking it without losing your lines. The same update reports fixes for re-exporting and deleting packs after they have been played. These are useful editor recovery options, but the notes do not specify a pack file format or promise that every unrelated export error has the same cause.
Start with the included Sprite Fright excerpt
The official game listing names one included pack: an excerpt from Sprite Fright by Blender Studio, used under CC BY 4.0. Treat that named excerpt as the confirmed bundled material when choosing a first round. The listing does not provide a verified catalogue of other included films, nor does it establish official Shrek or Marvel packs.
Use the excerpt to become familiar with how a prepared clip presents dialogue and how a recording becomes a watched result. Parallel mode produces separate performances and a vote, while Character mode produces one shared performance without a vote. That difference helps you decide how to arrange your own pack, without assuming that every community upload uses the same footage, language or number of roles.
What players ask
Do I need to make a pack before playing?
No, the official listing names a Sprite Fright excerpt as the pack included with the game. You can also subscribe to player-made material through the official Workshop. Subscribed packs appear in the game list without a restart. A specific film pack still needs its own verified Workshop item; a familiar name alone does not establish availability.
Can Pack Creator restore a missing source video?
The September 15 announcement documents FIND VIDEO for relinking a missing source video without losing the existing lines. Use that option when your editing project needs its supplied video again. The update also reports fixes for re-exporting packs after playing them. It does not establish a universal repair for every missing-file or export problem.
Does a pack with 6+ roles allow more than six players?
No, the official online group limit remains six players. The Workshop tag describes how many roles are present in the pack, not the lobby capacity. Character mode assigns performers to roles and leaves unassigned roles with their original voices. Parallel mode instead lets players create separate versions of the clip.
