You post a video on Bilibili or Douyin. It does well. Someone tells you it would blow up on YouTube too. So you start the process: download the file, run it through a subtitle extractor, translate each line manually, generate a voice-over, sync the audio in an editor, export, then log into YouTube Studio, fill in the title and description, and upload. Two to three hours later, the video is live. Now do it again for TikTok.
LumiPath Agent compresses that entire workflow into 3 steps.
The Problem with Manual Repurposing
For a typical 10-minute Bilibili video, the manual overseas publishing workflow looks like this:
- Download the video using a third-party tool
- Run speech recognition to extract Chinese subtitles (then proofread every line)
- Translate subtitles into English line by line
- Generate English voice-over with a TTS tool, then sync it to the video in an editor
- Export the video and upload it to YouTube Studio with a new title, description, and tags
- Repeat the entire process for TikTok
That's four to five separate tools, and a single mistake at any step means starting over. For creators posting weekly or daily, this workload simply isn't sustainable.
What LumiPath Agent Does
LumiPath Agent is an automation tool built specifically for Chinese creators going global. Give it a video link — it handles everything in between:
- Automatic video crawling: Paste a Douyin, Bilibili, or Xiaohongshu URL — no manual download needed
- AI translation and dubbing: Extracts speech, translates it, and generates a natural-sounding AI voice-over that preserves your vocal style
- Subtitle burning: Embeds translated subtitles directly into the video
- On-screen text translation (OCR): Text overlays, title cards, and captions inside the video are translated too
- Background music control: Keep original music, keep sound effects only, or mute everything
- Auto-publish: When translation is done, the video is automatically pushed to YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram — no manual upload
The 3-Step Workflow
Step 1: Paste the video link
Open LumiPath and drop a Douyin, Bilibili, or Xiaohongshu link into the Agent. No need to download the file first — Agent fetches it directly from the platform.
Step 2: Configure translation and dubbing
- Choose your target language (English, Japanese, Spanish, and more)
- Enable AI dubbing and pick a voice style
- Turn on subtitle burning and OCR as needed
- Choose how to handle background music
Step 3: Set your publish destination and start
Connect your YouTube or TikTok account in the Auto-Publish settings, add a caption, and hit start. Once translation finishes, Agent uploads the video automatically. You don't need to stay at your desk.
From submitting the link to the video going live typically takes 10 to 30 minutes depending on video length — and you can walk away the whole time.
Advanced Features
Multi-platform publishing in one shot
The same video can be published to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram simultaneously from a single submission — no repeated uploads.
Music copyright detection
Agent includes async copyright scanning that checks your background music before publishing, helping you avoid platform muting or takedowns after upload.
Live progress tracking
After submitting a task, you can check its status at any time. Agent reports real-time progress so you're never left guessing.
