Multilingual projects: foreign-language videos

SceneCut comes in a Chinese edition and a Multilingual edition. The Multilingual edition has everything in the Chinese edition, plus 11 video languages and publishing to TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. The interface language (中文 / English) can be switched in every edition at no cost.

Create a foreign-language project

1. On the home page, click “New project” and fill in brand, product and offer as usual.
2. Choose a video language: Chinese, English (US), Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea), Indonesian (Indonesia), Thai (Thailand), Vietnamese (Vietnam), Malay (Malaysia), Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Spanish (Mexico) or Portuguese (Brazil). The country in brackets is the market.
3. Click “Create and import footage”.

What follows the language

• Scripts: written the way the local market talks and checked against local compliance rules; prices in the local currency; sales events are local holidays.

• Voiceover and captions: voiced and captioned in that language; Arabic captions run right to left.
• Fonts and presets: style packs, caption styles and motion templates have a language menu that lists the presets available for that language. Latin-script languages share the English style packs and caption styles; Japanese, Korean, Thai and Arabic each have their own style packs; motion templates without hard-coded Chinese work in any language.

• Post copy: titles, descriptions and hashtags are written in that language. For TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, see Overseas platforms.

What the Chinese edition includes

• 3 trial foreign-language videos per organization in total; deleted videos still count.
• After that, creating foreign-language projects, making foreign-language videos and publishing to overseas platforms all ask you to upgrade to the Multilingual edition.
• Foreign-language presets in the Library are marked “Not activated”; you can still preview their samples.

Upgrade to the Multilingual edition

• In the customer console, under “Plans & renewal”, click “Upgrade to Multilingual” on the Multilingual plan with the same number of seats. It shows the exact amount to pay.
• The upgrade takes effect immediately. Seats and expiry date stay the same; you pay the difference for the days left in this period and renew at the Multilingual price from the next period.
• Switching back to the Chinese edition takes effect when the period ends, with no refund. Foreign-language projects and final videos stay and can be viewed and exported, but you can't make new foreign-language videos or publish to overseas platforms.
