Tencent Smart影

What is Tencent Smart影?

Tencent Smart Video is a cloud-based intelligent video creation platform provided by Tencent. Users can use a computer browser to organize materials, edit videos, add subtitles, provide voiceovers, handle video formatting, render content, and export it. This platform integrates functions such as digital avatar narration, text-to-speech, conversion of articles into videos, subtitle recognition, and various intelligent video editing tools within a single workspace, making it suitable for short videos, knowledge explanations, courses, news broadcasts, and corporate promotions.

Tencent Smart Video is primarily an online tool; no specialized video editing software needs to be installed. Users simply need to log in and upload their materials to the cloud for processing. The duration of output, resolution, as well as the features related to materials and customization may vary depending on the account type, campaign, membership status, or enterprise service used – it is necessary to refer to the real-time purchase page after logging in.

Core functions of Tencent Smart影

AI digital human broadcasting

Users can input scripts or upload audio, select an avatar, voice tone, background, subtitles, and layout, and then create a video with synchronized lip movements and speech. It is suitable for voiceovers, news reports, training sessions, product introductions, and virtual hosting; it helps to reduce the need for actual filming and repeated recordings.

The quality of digital human performances is influenced by the punctuation in the script, speaking speed, pronunciation, visual templates, and the duration of synthesis. Proper nouns, numbers, English abbreviations, and characters with multiple pronunciations should be listened to first; long scripts are best divided into sections for creation, in order to avoid having to redo a large amount of work after a single synthesis attempt.

Custom digital avatars and timbres

In addition to the public avatar, the platform offers services such as cloning of a real-person avatar or creating customized digital avatars, as well as customizing voice tones. Users must upload photos, videos, and audio materials of themselves or of persons for whom they have legitimate authorization, in accordance with the specified rules.

Authorities have the right to demand proof of authorization; it is prohibited to clone another person’s image or voice without permission.

AI text-to-speech

Text-to-speech conversion allows scripts to be turned into audio; it offers voices of different genders, ages, styles, languages, or dialects, and it enables adjustment of speech speed, pauses, volume, and background music. The actual number of available voice options depends on the platform used, and some advanced or custom voices may require a membership or additional payment.

One-click article to video conversion

Converting articles into videos involves analyzing the text content to create a structure, add narration and subtitles, and select appropriate images or video materials; this method is suitable for turning news items, educational content, and articles from official accounts into videos. However, automatic matching may result in visuals that do not match the meaning of the text, unclear copyright information, or inaccuracies in the presented facts, so it is necessary to review each frame carefully before publishing.

Online multi-track editing

The editor allows users to organize various tracks such as videos, images, text, voiceovers, music, transitions, and stickers, and to perform tasks like cropping, sorting, adding subtitles, and creating packages. Cloud rendering eliminates the need for a high-performance computer locally; however, the speed of uploading, previewing, and exporting depends on the network connection, the size of the files, and server queue times.

Subtitle recognition

After uploading audio and video files, the speech is automatically identified and subtitles are generated; thereafter, the text, timeline, style, and position can be modified. Accents, multiple voices speaking at once, noise, specialized terminology, and background music can reduce the accuracy of the transcription, so professional videos should be reviewed manually.

Intelligent image processing

The platform offers functions such as switching between portrait and landscape modes, intelligent erasure, image cropping, object removal, and other AI-based processing options. Intelligent erasure can only be used on content for which the user has editing rights; it cannot be employed to remove copyright markings belonging to others, to circumvent the platform’s rules, or to create misleading information about the source of the content.

Templates and asset library

腾讯智影 provides video templates, images, music, fonts, and packaging materials to enhance the efficiency of creating large quantities of content. The availability of these materials, the restrictions on exporting them, and the licensing terms for commercial use may vary depending on the source and the membership benefits; it is therefore necessary to review the details of each material and the relevant licensing information before using them.

Tencent Smart Video version and pricing options

Tencent Smart Video allows free access to use some of its functions; membership options and customized digital avatars are considered premium services. According to the official terms, the specific prices, benefits, and restrictions are subject to the information published on the official website or to any separate agreements reached between the parties.

The current public page is unable to reliably verify a fixed uniform amount; therefore, it is not recommended to use old prices from third parties.
