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 Indonesian 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 Indonesian 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 Indonesian 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 Indonesian 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 Indonesian affixes be reviewed?

  When translating short-drama video into Indonesian, review whether prefixes and suffixes preserve who acts, what is affected, and whether the tone is formal or conversational. Pay special attention to omitted subjects and words whose meaning shifts with affixes. Read each subtitle beside the scene, then adjust wording and timing where context makes the intended relationship clearer.

• How should informal Indonesian speech be handled?

  For Indonesian dialogue based on short-drama video, compare slang, shortened forms, and address terms with the speaker's relationship and setting. Avoid making casual speech unnecessarily formal, but check that localized expressions remain understandable for the intended audience. Review recurring nicknames and pronouns consistently across scenes, using the audio and visible context to resolve ambiguous lines.

• How can Indonesian subtitle rhythm stay natural?

  To keep Indonesian subtitles natural when working from short-drama video, read lines aloud and review breaks at phrase boundaries rather than treating each word equally. Check that particles and repeated words still sound purposeful, while captions remain easy to follow with the scene. Adjust subtitle text and timing together when a literal structure creates awkward pauses or crowded phrasing.

• 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.
