Youtube short video operation, is not a new topic. Years ago, many foreign trade enterprises and cross-border e-commerce brands have listed Youtube as a low-cost channel for off-site conversion.

People often utilize Youtube channels to tap into a large number of collaborative celebrities to enhance the weight and popularity of their websites. However, the emergence of AI digital people seems to intentionally break the rule of "live video". A large number of virtual human videos generated by AI tools are now available on Y...

How to adapt videos to other languages and publish them globally? Or, how to take videos in other languages around the world, convert them into Chinese versions, and publish them in China? The biggest obstacle here is the language problem. Subtitles can be translated, but sound can't be. So in the past, when we watched foreign language videos, we mainly used subtitle translations; for a few imported movies, we would find a lot of dubbers to do Chinese dubbing, but we always felt that it was almost tasteless. Recently, I found an AI tool called videolingo, which is testing a brand new solution. On the basis of subtitle translation, the original voice color is cloned through AI technology, and then the...

YouTube recently announced that from now on, anyone uploading or posting a video will need to label "altered or synthesized" realistic content, including generative AI. YouTube defines "realistic content" as "any content that viewers could easily mistake for a real person, thing, or place." If a video creator uses a synthesized version of a real person's voice to dub a video, or posts a video with the theme of "AI face-swapping," they will need to attach a label. The essential purpose of this move is to prevent the spread of false information that may be caused by AI-generated content, rather than to oppose creators from producing content through AI. Beauty filters,...
