need one ai video tool for spanish, thai and japanese versions

i manage social posts for a small skincare brand selling in a few countries. we reuse the same basic product video, but each language version turns into its own mini project.

translate the script. record another voice. adjust the mouth movement. redo the subtitles. discover the timing is off. repeat.

the japanese version also ends up feeling slightly different from the spanish one even though they are meant to be the same ad. is there a tool that can handle the languages, lip sync, and subtitles together?

The tools exist and people will name them, HeyGen and ElevenLabs are the usual pair for voice plus lip sync, but I'd push back gently on the framing because the thing making the Japanese version feel different probably isn't the tool.

What's happening is basically that your master was edited to the rhythm of the original language. Languages don't take the same amount of time to say the same thing. Japanese and Spanish both run longer than English for identical meaning, so once you drop the new VO in, your cuts stop landing where the sentences land. The words are right and the timing is off by half a beat everywhere, and that reads to a viewer as a slightly cheaper ad without them being able to say why.

The production fix is to stop making a video that needs lip sync at all. If the master is built as voiceover over product and hand shots rather than somebody talking to camera, every language version becomes a swap of audio and subtitles and nothing else. Where you do need a face, keep the on camera lines short and self contained with cutaways between them, so each language can run long or short inside its own segment without breaking the edit.

One other thing on subtitles, Japanese needs far fewer characters per line than Spanish before it stops being readable, so a single subtitle template across all three will look wrong on at least one of them. We set line length per language rather than per project.

For skincare specifically I'd be careful with AI lip sync on close ups. It holds up in a wide shot and falls apart the closer you get to the mouth, and skincare ads live in close up.

Benifits of not using smartphone

I am(21M) we are 4 members in my family my younger sister and my parents . My mom runs a small shop and my father too. We all have smartphones except my mom. Over 5 years we are using phones. But my don't have a smartphone or any phone she doesn't even know how to use it. At the night when father comes home and she too then she watch some serial in phone. I noticed she is more happier than 3 of us. She is extremely focused on her work and doesn't complain for anything and handle all the situation very wisely. She knows the real world and not influenced by the fake social media world.

Deleting all social media, best decision ever

No you cannot keep up with me, you will not know anything about my life or see updates with my appearance. I used to have a little following and after Covid maybe 2023 I had a realization about family & ā€œfriendsā€ when I would take breaks they would say ā€œYou haven’t posted in a whileā€ or they would question why I deleted or temporarily deleted profiles. But I noticed we barely had conversations on phone or texting… just them watching me online. Now I am permanently gone there is no photos of me on the internet if you want to see me or talk to me you will have to call me or reach out in some way.l or be reciprocal when I reach out. I am not an image on the internet I am a human being with a beating heart. Also after receiving stalking or weird jealousy about photos even though my whole life I was told because of my height and ā€œ beautyā€ that I should be a model but once I tried it made people call me conceited or XYZ, like no…all of you guys overly talk about my appearance since I was a child constantly so I tried to do what everyone said my whole life and all it did was cause a rift due to me receiving attention. I don’t want internet fame or to be observed online. Something else is I had this happen a few times where men would take my innocent selfies NO CLEAVEDGE NO SKIN showing and I would be the green screen and them videoing themselves jacking off to me. All of social media is disturbing it makes people compare themselves and be weird and perverted that’s all. 3 years no social media šŸ’Ŗ join the wave

Just been hit by Meta One link limit!

I run social media for a charity here in the UK, and we regularly post content linking to parts of our website, event links for other organisations etc from our Facebook page. As of today (it didn't show up yesterday) we can only post 2 links a month without paying a fortune?! How is everyone getting round this or are we all needing to just fork out?

Will the social media influencer era will be dead after the new ai influencers wave?

I’ve been thinking that many people aspire to become influencers and gain recognition on social media platforms by creating content. However, with the rise of AI influencers, it will become increasingly challenging to compete with them across various domains, including travel, fashion, and information dissemination. Do you see this too?

One creator account or two separate ones?

I’ve built a fairly large audience through aesthetic lifestyle content like cozy home videos, cooking, cute drinks, cafĆ©s, and daily vlogs. However, I also love makeup, beauty, fashion, and modeling, and I want to become known personally rather than just for my aesthetic content. I created a separate account for my face, beauty, and fashion, but now I’m unsure whether to keep both accounts or combine everything. I’m worried that mixing cozy lifestyle content with makeup videos, fashion, and more personal content might make my main account feel inconsistent. I also don’t want to lose the audience and identity I’ve worked hard to build, but I also don’t want to limit myself creatively The content overlaps a lot, too. Where would things like daily vlogs, beauty treatments, shopping, and cafĆ© visits go? Those clips are of me and related to beauty, but they’re also my life and lifestyle i also had thoughts like, if someone asks for my social media, which one do I give out? Which one is me? Which is my main account? I’ve been going back and forth on this for so long that I genuinely don’t know what makes the most sense anymore it’s stressing me out😭 i really appreciate any ideas and opinions!

Is there an app or website that builds a social media strategy and generates content based on your answers to a few questions?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a tool (app or website) where you can input information about your business, niche, or goals by answering a series of questions, and it automatically creates a full social media strategy and generates ready-to-use content based on those answers. Ideally, something that helps with planning and content creation without needing to prompt everything manually from scratch. Does anyone know of a tool like this? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
