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 Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese 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 Japanese honorifics be reviewed?

  Review whether short-drama video context supports the chosen register for each relationship, scene, and speaker. Check names, titles, respectful wording, and shifts between formal and casual speech. In the subtitle review, compare surrounding dialogue rather than treating every honorific as a literal word, especially when the speaker's attitude changes.

• How can omitted subjects affect Japanese subtitles?

  Check each translated line against short-drama video context to confirm who is acting, speaking, or being addressed. Japanese may omit subjects when the situation makes them clear, but a translated subtitle may need an explicit reference. Review nearby shots, speaker turns, and pronouns so the added wording does not assign the action to the wrong person.

• What should producers check in Japanese line breaks?

  Inspect compact line breaks against short-drama video phrasing and reading flow. Keep connected words, names, and grammatical units together where possible, and check that a split does not change emphasis or make a line ambiguous. Review the rendered subtitle output on the intended frame shape, including both 16:9 and 9:16 versions.

• 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.
