Which users are it suitable for

Short-form drama AI voiceover translation

Dubbing translation involves identifying the voice in the original video, generating text in the target language, and then creating a dub that matches the rhythm of the characters and the visuals.

Automated results can reduce production time, but character names, titles, plot twists, and cultural expressions still require manual review.

1. Select a representative short play episode.
2. Confirm that you have the rights to translate and distribute.
3. Upload the video and wait for the media to be parsed.
4. Select the target language you need.
5. Generate a preliminary draft of the dubbed translation.
6. Check the pronunciation and tone of the character.
7. Check the character relationships and key lines.
8. Enable lip alignment as needed.
9. Listen to the full version and note down the issues.
10. Process in batches after confirming the effect.

Lip alignment

Lip synchronization adjusts the movement of the characters’ mouths in accordance with the voiceover in the target language, thereby making the dubbed audio more in harmony with the visuals.

What are hard subtitles?

Hard subtitles are text that is embedded directly into the video image; they cannot be turned off or replaced as easily as soft subtitles such as SRT.

To create a clean overseas version, it is necessary to identify the subtitle area and reconstruct the original image that was covered by the text.

Hard subtitle removal

ZhiSheng ZiYingHui can identify the already recorded subtitles and use information from adjacent frames to repair the parts of the image that are obscured by those subtitles.

• Static backgrounds are usually easier to fix.
• Rapid movement increases the difficulty of reconstruction.
• When subtitles cover the characters, it is necessary to check carefully.
• Complex textures may exhibit smearing or flickering.
• Multi-line and dynamic subtitles should be tested via sampling first.
• Even after repair, it is still necessary to preview each shot manually.

Image repair inspection

1. Select segments that contain people, movement, and complex textures.
2. Submit a short clip for subtitle removal.
3. Pause to view the location where each subtitle appears.
4. Check whether there are repeated textures in the background.
5. Check whether flickering occurs in adjacent frames.
6. Check the edges of the character’s clothing and face.
7. Compare the clarity of the original footage with that of the clean image.
8. Submit the entire series after meeting the requirements.

Batch processing of short dramas

Batch processing is suitable for multi-episode series, but it is necessary to first test the language, subtitle areas, audio, and output parameters using a typical single episode.

• Create a unified character list for each series.
• Fix role names and translation rules.
• Create a glossary of terms for brands, locations, and props.
• Standardize frame size, clarity, and audio specifications.
• Create traceable file names based on the episode number.
• Multiple episodes are randomly selected from each batch for review.
• If a systematic issue is detected, the task should be suspended immediately.

Points and prices

The platform operates on a system where points are purchased, and fees are charged based on the actual processing time; there is no requirement to subscribe to a monthly plan, and the points remain valid indefinitely.

Before making a purchase, it is necessary to check on the task page the cost per unit of time, the refund in case of failure, the option to regenerate the content, mouth shape alignment, and the options for exporting the results.

Why is the pay-as-you-go model suitable for short dramas

• There is no need to pay a monthly fee when there are no ongoing projects.
• The actual production cost can be tested on a per-episode basis.
• The different lengths of episodes facilitate separate accounting.
• The accumulated points remain valid indefinitely, reducing the pressure associated with expiration.
• It is possible to verify a small number of materials before processing in batches.
• It is still necessary to pay attention to the differences in fees for different functions.

Cost estimation methods

1. Calculate the total original duration of all videos.
2. Distinguish between tasks that only involve subtitling and those that involve translating voiceovers.
3. Determine how many videos require lip-sync alignment.
4. Use a typical single set to record the actual integration consumption.
5. Add costs for retry attempts and manual verification.
6. Multiply the total number of episodes to estimate the basic budget.
7. Reserve additional processing fees for complex lenses.
8. Check the account balance before submitting in batches.

Voice-over check before release

• Are the names and titles of the characters consistent?
• Are the numbers, currency amounts, and times accurate?
• Does the character’s tone fit the plot?
• Are the characters in multi-person conversations assigned correctly?
• Does the voiceover cover any remaining original voice?
• Is the volume balanced with the background music?
• Is there any obvious misalignment of the lips?
• Was the last sentence truncated?

Screen check before release

• Are all the hard subtitles removed?
• Check whether there is any smudging in the repaired area.
• Whether the motion footage flickers.
• Whether the characters’ faces and clothing are distorted.
• Are there any texts remaining at the edges of the image?
• Whether the new subtitles obscure the plot information.
• Check whether the clarity and frame rate meet the requirements of the channel.
• Whether to retain the copyright information in the opening and closing credits.

Translation and localization

The localization of short dramas involves more than just a word-for-word translation; it is also necessary to preserve the relationships between characters, the intensity of emotions, the rhythm of the narrative, and the ways in which the content is expressed in the target market.

Copyright and Compliance

Translation, dubbing, lip-sync adjustment, and subtitle removal all create new versions of the content, and corresponding permissions must be obtained first.

• Confirm the rights to copy and adapt the original video.
• Confirm the translation and distribution rights for the target language.
• Obtain authorization for the processing of actors’ voices and images.
• Music licensing should cover the target countries and platforms.
• The necessary copyright and rights identifiers must not be removed.
• AI-translated content is labeled according to channel rules.
• Save the copyright contracts and delivery records.

Data security and privacy

Unpublished short dramas represent high-value commercial content; before uploading them, it is necessary to review the platform’s privacy policy, guidelines regarding handling such content, and rules for deleting it.

• First, use non-core samples to verify the process.
• Do not expose sensitive project information in the file names.
• Provide separate work accounts for the team.
• Restrict download and sharing permissions.
• Confirm the retention period for task files.
• Proactively clean up the materials after the project is completed.
• Keep a local backup of the important source files.
• For confidential projects, consult the company first for a solution.
