## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do unused minutes expire?

Paid topup minutes do not expire.

### How are minutes calculated?

Minutes are calculated from source video duration. A 10 minute video consumes 10 minutes.

### Can one line be regenerated without redoing the full video?

Yes. WaveShift supports single-line re-dubbing, so users can edit one subtitle line and regenerate only that line.

### Does WaveShift preserve background music?

Yes. WaveShift separates speech and background audio, then mixes translated speech back over the original background audio.

### Does WaveShift generate AI avatars?

No. WaveShift focuses on finished-video translation and dubbing, not avatar generation.
