Visual Step-by-Step Tutorial
How to Make a Custom Dub Pack from Scratch
From a raw video clip to a playable Choicer Voicer mod in five intuitive stages.
01/Setup & Media
Import Scene Video & Configure Metadata
Start by initializing your project name in the editor dashboard. Then import your source scene clip via the file picker or drag and drop. The editor loads the video locally into memory with zero server upload.
1
Name Your Pack Project: In the initial Projects card, enter an iconic title (e.g., Krusty Krab Phone Dub) and click Create to initialize project storage.
2
Import Scene Video: Select or drag and drop your MP4/WebM video file into the video wrapper. The editor instantly extracts audio waveforms and prepares video frames for seamless timing.
Video Codec: H.264 MP4 / WebMSuggested Resolution: 720p (1280x720) @ 30fpsPrivacy: 100% Client-Side Local Storage
💡 Pro Tip: 720p @ 30fps provides optimal in-game rendering performance in Choicer Voicer while keeping exported ZIP mod sizes under 15MB.
02/Audio & Timing
Slice Voice Lines on the Waveform Timeline
The interactive multi-track timeline visualizes every vocal burst and dialogue pause. Position the playhead and slice speech into cleanly bounded sentences for gameplay dubbing.
1
Split Dialogue Line at Playhead: Listen to the scene audio, position the cursor at the speech start, and click + Add caption at playhead to create an audio slice block.
2
Drag Handles to Envelope Voice: Drag the left and right boundary handles on the timeline lane to tightly envelope the character's line, leaving ~0.10s of natural breath padding.
3
Micro-Zoom for 10ms Accuracy: Adjust the Zoom slider to expand the waveform view up to 300px/second for sample-accurate speech synchronization.
Boundary Snapping: 10ms AccuracyNatural Buffer: ~0.10s Lead/Tail MarginAudio Gain: 0% to 200% Boost/Reduce
💡 Pro Tip: Press Space to play/pause and scrub with arrow keys for rapid timeline auditioning without taking your hands off the keyboard.
03/Character Roster
Create Characters & Grab Video Frame Portraits
Assign unique IDs and colors to each speaking role. During gameplay, Choicer Voicer displays the active character's avatar and script prompt in the dubbing HUD.
1
Setup Character Roster: In the Characters panel, type character names (e.g. SpongeBob, Patrick) and click + Add. Each character gets a distinct color badge.
2
Enter In-Game Dialogue Script: In the Selected Line editor, type the prompt subtitle (e.g., "No, this is Patrick!"). Voice actors read this in-game during dubbing mode.
3
Red Dot Video Frame Capture: Drag the red dot marker on the timeline block (or input an exact second like
5.40) to select which video frame becomes that line's 1:1 square portrait avatar!Avatar Aspect Ratio: 1:1 Square Auto-CroppedPer-Line Portraits: Dynamic Expression MatchingSlot Support: Standard Slots (#01, #02, #201)
💡 Pro Tip: Because every dialogue line has its own red dot marker, character portraits can dynamically change facial expressions (angry, laughing, surprised) as the scene progresses!
04/Audio Isolation
AI Vocal Isolation & Backing Music Preservation
Dubbing over original dialogue requires isolating background music and sound effects. Demucs AI cleanses the master audio track so your recorded lines never clash with original voices.
1
Set Video Transcode Quality: Select Theora OGV video quality (slider 0–10). Quality 7 is recommended for crisp 720p visuals with efficient loading.
2
Activate Demucs AI Vocal Removal: Check Remove vocals with Demucs AI to generate
_backing_track.mp3, keeping scene BGM and sound effects fully intact.3
Protect Special SFX with Blacklist: Need to preserve original character screams, explosions, or sound effects? Click + Keep background on the toolbar to whitelist specific intervals from AI muting.
Stem Separation: Demucs Neural Engine (Max 10 min)Video Transcoder: WebAssembly Theora OGVAccompaniment: _backing_track.mp3 (192kbps)
💡 Pro Tip:
dub_video.ogv retains original dialogue audio for player audition reference, while _backing_track.mp3 provides the clean instrumental bed for recording.
05/Packaging & Play
One-Click Export & Load into Choicer Voicer
Compile your dub pack directly inside your browser. The editor transcodes the scene video, compiles voice clips, generates _pack_info.ini, and builds a game-ready ZIP archive.

2
Download Ready Mod (.zip): Click the green Download Mod Pack (.zip) button to obtain your complete, standardized mod archive.
3
Install to Game Directory (
packs_voice): Extract your downloaded pack ZIP into its own folder (e.g. packs_voice/My Dub Pack/) inside %APPDATA%\YeahMaybe\ChoicerVoicer\game\packs_voice.

Why Ogg Theora (.ogv)?
Unlike commercial video players, the Godot game engine utilizes the royalty-free Ogg Theora video codec for maximum portability across Windows, Linux, macOS, and Steam Deck. The Dub Pack Maker automates this transcoding process entirely within the browser via WebAssembly FFmpeg.
Seamless Audio Synchronization
In Choicer Voicer, the _backing_track.mp3 starts playing at timestamp 0.0s lockstep with dub_video.ogv. When a player dubs a line, the game ducks the line's background or mixes the player's voice on top, delivering an authentic studio dubbing experience.
Instant Modpack Compatibility
Because our maker adheres 100% to the official Choicer Voicer specification, the generated ZIP can be published directly to GameBanana or shared with friends without requiring any post-processing.
Pro Tips & Optimization
Best Practices for High-Quality Dub Packs
Follow these guidelines to ensure rapid export times and optimal in-game performance.
Keep Scenes Under 3 Minutes
While the editor supports longer files, scenes between 30 and 90 seconds are the sweet spot for player engagement, rapid WebAssembly video transcoding, and smooth browser memory handling.
Add 100ms Padding Around Speech
When slicing lines on the waveform, leave roughly 0.1 seconds of silence before the first syllable and after the last consonant to avoid harsh clipping and preserve natural breathing.
Check Dialogue Levels
Ensure voice clips are normalized around -3dB. If voice lines are too quiet, player dubbing might overpower them; if they are too loud, distortion may occur in Godot's audio bus.
Validate Before Distributing
Before uploading your modpack to community forums, drop your ZIP into our Dub Pack Checker to verify video codecs, audio lengths, and INI formatting in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choicer Voicer Dub Pack Maker FAQ
Common questions about video formats, AI stem separation, game compatibility, and troubleshooting.
Can I use the Choicer Voicer Dub Pack Maker completely free and online?
Yes! The Dub Pack Maker is 100% free and runs directly in modern web browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) with no software installation, no account registration, and no paywalls.
Why does Choicer Voicer require OGV video format instead of MP4?
Choicer Voicer is built on the Godot engine. Godot uses open-source Ogg Theora video decoding natively for cross-platform stability. Our editor automatically transcodes your MP4 video into the required dub_video.ogv file right in your browser using WebAssembly FFmpeg.
Does this tool upload my private video files to a server?
No. Video decoding, audio extraction, waveform generation, and video transcoding to OGV happen 100% locally on your device via WebAssembly and Web Audio API. Only if you optionally enable Demucs AI Vocal Isolation upon export is the temporary audio track sent to Replicate GPU servers for stem separation.
What is the recommended video length and resolution for a Dub Pack?
We recommend short, dynamic scenes between 30 seconds and 3 minutes in 720p (1280x720) or 1080p resolution at 30fps. Since browser-based WebAssembly has memory constraints, shorter clips encode much faster and ensure silky-smooth in-game playback.
How do character IDs and avatar portraits work?
Each dialogue line is assigned to a character with a unique ID (such as #01, #02, #201). When that line plays in-game, Choicer Voicer displays the matching chara_[id].png avatar. Our editor lets you snap character portraits directly from any video frame with a single click.
How does AI Vocal Isolation (Demucs) help when creating a Dub Pack?
In the original scene, character voices are often mixed together with background music and sound effects. Demucs AI isolates dialogue vocals from the instrumental accompaniment, leaving you with a clean _backing_track.mp3 so voice actors can dub over the scene with the original background music preserved.
Where do I install the exported ZIP pack in the Choicer Voicer game?
Extract the downloaded pack into its own folder inside the game's voice packs directory: "%APPDATA%\YeahMaybe\ChoicerVoicer\game\packs_voice" (e.g., packs_voice/My Dub Pack/). In Choicer Voicer, you can open this folder directly via Modpack Guides → Dub Mode Packs → Open Folder. See our How to Install Dub Packs guide for details.
Can I save my work and resume editing later?
Yes! Click "Save Draft (.cvdpe)" at any time to save a lightweight project file. You can load this project file back into the editor whenever you want to tweak dialogue timings, adjust characters, or re-export.
