Audio Translation: How to replace several audios at the same time?
Hello guys,
I need to find the quickest way to replace existing voice overs with their respective translation audio files.
I know we can replace single audio files through the ribbon or the right-click menu, but that is a little bit slow. Is there a method to replace all the audios in a project? I have to replace audios for hundreds of slides. Doing it one by one would be troublesome.

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for reaching out! Using the Media Library, you can replace multiple instances of a single asset, but unfortunately, there's not a way to replace multiple audio files at the same time.
For now, you'll have to replace the audio in each slide individually. I hope that clarifies your question!

Hello Mustafa, thanks for the reply. Replacing multiple audios at the same time is a much requested feature in my company since it would speed up localizations and the exchange of the artificial speaker to a real speaker immensely. Are there plans for this feature in the near future or at all?
Best, Alex

Found this thread after running into a similar (but different issue), I really need an easy way to batch replace a ton of files with a single action. In this case, for creating templating - I want to replace all of these with a single audio file, but you can't replace except by individual selection.
Additionally, while working in the Media Library, you can't replace files with ones already in the Media Library - you can from individual slide views, but this is really inefficient and adds hundreds of extra inputs to what is already very tedious manual process.
