# Quickstart

> Localize your first video in minutes.

Follow these steps to transcribe, translate, and dub your first video.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a workspace">
    After signing up, you'll be prompted to create a workspace. Workspaces are where your videos, team members, and credits live.

    <Tip>
      New accounts receive **2,000 free credits** — enough to transcribe, translate, and dub a short video. Welcome credits expire after 7 days.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a video">
    From the dashboard, click **Add Video** and either:

    * **Upload a file** — MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI, WebM, and more (up to 3 GB)
    * **Paste a YouTube URL** — Neolli fetches the video directly from YouTube
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transcribe">
    Click **Transcribe** on your video. Select the spoken language from the dropdown, or use **Auto-detect** to let the AI identify it.

    <Tip>
      **Auto-detect** works well for most common languages. Select a specific language if you know it — this improves accuracy for less common languages.
    </Tip>

    Transcription typically takes 1–3 minutes for a 10-minute video.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add languages">
    After transcription completes, click **Add Languages** to select target languages for translation and dubbing.

    <Info>
      Use **language presets** (Top 3, Top 5, Top 10) to quickly select the most popular YouTube audience languages, or pick languages individually from the grid.
    </Info>

    On the options step, choose whether to generate **captions only**, **dubbing only**, or **both** for each language.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and edit">
    When jobs finish, open the video workspace to review your captions. Use the [caption editor](/workflows/caption-editor) to make corrections — changes save as a new version without overwriting the original.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export">
    Download your work:

    * **SRT files** — Caption files for any language
    * **MP3 audio** — Dubbed audio tracks (merged with instrumental or standalone)
    * **YouTube** — Push captions and metadata directly to your connected channel

    See [Exporting](/workflows/exporting) for all available formats.
  </Step>
