Lay a voice-over bed when the face is not the product. Lipsync only when the mouth has to match.

ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Rask, VEED, Versely, and Descript can dub a Reel into Spanish. Pick by credits, lip-sync, minutes, or captions.
HeyGen-class lipsync is 2.5x credits in the app. Use it when we see the mouth. Voice-only dub when we do not.
The app's example rail is one clip through lipsync dubs. That is the localisation product, not three reshoots.
