FAQ

• Where can I check pricing and available trial credits?

  Check the current Pricing page and your account balance before submitting a task. Available trial credits, paid options, and the cost shown for your selected workflow should guide your decision. Review the task settings and displayed estimate before confirming; this guide does not promise a fixed free allowance or a specific price.

• How should character names be reviewed in short-drama subtitles?

  Check character names against the episode context before approving the Chinese subtitles. Confirm spelling, relationships, titles, and familiar forms remain consistent across appearances. Review lines where ASR may confuse names with common words, then compare the translated dialogue with the surrounding scene so each speaker remains identifiable.

• How can recurring terms stay consistent across episodes?

  Create a short reference list for recurring terms before reviewing the Chinese output. Include relationship labels, locations, objects, and catchphrases that carry meaning across episodes. Compare repeated uses with earlier scenes, especially when a term has several possible translations, and confirm that its tone fits the established character relationship.

• What should producers check at scene cuts?

  Review subtitle timing around scene cuts in the Chinese version, particularly when a line continues into a new shot or a speaker changes quickly. Check that each subtitle matches the intended dialogue and remains readable without obscuring a key reaction. Revisit cuts where ASR segmentation separates one sentence unexpectedly.

• Do I need professional video editing experience?

  You can start by choosing a video and configuring the translation workflow without preparing a full editing project. Review the translated subtitle text, names, timing, and the finished audio before publishing. Specialized subject matter may still need a knowledgeable reviewer, especially when a small wording change affects meaning or a speaker's intent.

• What layout checks matter for vertical short dramas?

  For a vertical short drama, inspect the Chinese subtitles in the final 9:16 layout. Check line breaks, edge spacing, and whether captions cover faces, signs, or important reactions. Pay special attention to translated phrases that expand, then adjust review decisions based on the visible frame rather than the subtitle text alone.

• How should Chinese translations keep terminology consistent?

  When translating from short-drama video into Chinese, build a short glossary for product names, technical terms, and recurring calls to action. Review every subtitle for the same Chinese wording, especially where context could support several valid choices. Check dubbed lines against the approved glossary before downloading the finished output.

• How should Chinese subtitles segment rapid dialogue?

  For rapid dialogue translated from short-drama video, review Chinese phrase boundaries rather than copying source punctuation mechanically. Split subtitles at natural grammatical pauses, keep closely related words together, and avoid leaving a short particle isolated on another line. Play each scene while checking that the Chinese text appears with the intended spoken idea.

• How should Chinese subtitles handle personal names?

  When short-drama video includes personal, company, or place names, verify each Chinese rendering against the project's preferred references. Decide whether a name should be transliterated, translated, or retained in its original form, then apply that choice consistently. Review visible text with OCR context, since signs and title cards may clarify the intended name.

• What should I check before uploading private or licensed footage?

  Use footage you are entitled to process and check the current privacy policy and service terms before uploading sensitive material. For client projects, confirm that the agreed handling of faces, voices, personal details, and licensed media permits this workflow. Ask support about any specific retention or processing requirement rather than assuming a promise from this guide.
