The error "Video file selection required" occurs because you clicked 开始执行 (Start Execution) without first selecting a video/audio file in the main Video Translation workspace. The "Select Audio or Video" field is mandatory — it is the first row of the interface.

Solution:

  1. On the main interface, click the Select Audio or Video button (top-left corner).
  2. Choose your video file (supports mp4/mkv/avi/mov/wav/mp3, etc.). For batch processing, check the Folder checkbox and select a directory.
  3. Only after a file is successfully loaded in that field should you click Start Execution.

If you are certain a file was selected but the error still appears, check the following:

  • The file path must not contain special characters (e.g., emojis, ?, *). Move the file to a simple English path like E:\video\test.mp4.
  • Ensure the video actually contains an audio track (otherwise the program may reject it).
  • Confirm you are in the Translate Video workspace, not another panel (like Voice Transcription or Text Dubbing) that may have its own file-selection requirements.

If the problem persists after these steps, please provide the latest log file from E:/win-pyvideotrans-v4.11/logs/ (copy the bottom ~30 lines of error messages) so we can analyze further.
