Dubbing from a rythmo band alone (without the video)

Not everyone works in the same tool, and that's perfectly fine. An adapter preps the band on one side, a voice actor records on the other, sometimes in their own booth. Hence a request that comes up often: being able to grab the rythmo band on its own, without the video, and take it elsewhere.

Why separate the band from the video

There are several good reasons. The first is recording: a voice actor can pull the band and play it in their own setup, whether that's Pro Tools, Reaper, or a home booth. The second is simple file size: you share a text file of a few kilobytes instead of a video weighing several hundred megabytes.

And then there's the work itself. Adaptation and timing are the long part. Once they're done, they may as well live independently from the media and be reused.

Export the band, and nothing else

In Voxdub, once the text is timed, export the band in the format that serves your next step. DETX keeps the frame-by-frame timing, it's the format dedicated to the rythmo band. If you're aiming instead for a classic editor or for subtitling, go with SRT or ASS.

Either way, you get a lightweight, standalone file. All your adaptation work is in it, ready to be reopened in the tool of your choice.

And if you still want the picture

To record while watching the scene, nothing stops you from also exporting a video with the rythmo band burned in: it serves as a reference during the take. But if your workflow is already elsewhere, the band file alone is more than enough to get going again, without redoing everything.

If your destination requires a specific video format, our free tools let you convert a video to MP4 or extract its audio to MP3, with nothing to install.

In short

Exporting the rythmo band alone means carrying all your adaptation and timing work into another tool, without lugging the video along. Pick the format based on what comes next (DETX to keep the timing, SRT or ASS for subtitling) and record wherever you like.
