What is GhostCut?
GhostCut (cn.jollytoday.com) focuses its products on the dubbing and localization pipeline for short drama going global: first removing hard subtitles from videos, then performing translation, dubbing and subtitle compression, and finally delivering the finished content. The official platform offers several levels of integration for users—only adjusting one of the functions such as subtitle removal, subtitle processing, dubbing or image translation, connecting the standard processes of upload, translation and download via APIs while leaving fine-tuning to the website, or using the full process through APIs; Agents can also call the same set of APIs via official Skills. The platform also categorizes solutions by channels, including short drama going global, YouTube short dramas, localization for e-commerce and content platforms, and dubbing, translation and distribution for creators.
Who is it for?
- Short drama going-global and AI short drama teams: Deliver dubbed and localized versions in batches according to schedules, requiring a stable task queue.
- Short drama app and YouTube channel operators: The speed of new releases directly determines revenue, so production capacity needs to be ramped up first.
- E-commerce and content platform localization teams: Product introduction videos and advertising materials require multi-language versions and need to integrate with their own middle platforms.
- Teams with existing internal systems: Integrate the entire dubbing and translation process into APIs and embed it into their own production platforms.

How to use GhostCut
- The materials must be publicly accessible on the internet: The URLs of videos, images, and SRT files must not rely on login states, intranets, or local machine paths, and no Chinese characters should be included in the URLs.
- The official states the current maximum duration of materials is 15 minutes and the size of a single file is less than 1000MB.
- for images, the maximum size is 2000×2000 pixels and 50MB.
- For overly long materials, split them first.
- for oversized ones, compress them first.
- The call signature must be strictly consistent with the request body.
- The official documentation states that AppSign is calculated after serializing the same compact JSON, and the signature must match the body.
- Tasks are asynchronous.
- creation only enqueues them.
- For production environments, it is recommended to pass a callback while also retaining polling for compensation.
- If the callback fails, retries will be made approximately every 30 minutes within 24 hours.
- The callback must verify the signature, deduplicate by work ID or task ID, return a 200 status code and a non-empty body after storing in the database, to avoid duplicate consumption.
- Tasks submitted via the API and the website are charged according to the same rules.
- Before launching in bulk, confirm your account balance, estimate the task volume, assess concurrency requirements, and determine the delivery cycle.
