Short-drama versioning workflow
Short-drama language versions from one master
One finished episode becomes many files: a cleaner master, a version per language, a file per platform. Quality Repair fixes the picture, Subtitle Edit adds each translator’s SRT or ASS file, and the Converter matches each platform’s spec, all on your own workstation.

§01Why
Why short-drama versions belong on one workstation
- 01After the shoot, the work is versioning: every episode needs a clean master, a subtitle version per language and a file per platform.
- 02Unreleased episodes are the asset. Processing them on your own workstation means they don’t go to another service before release.
- 03AI-generated and low-resolution masters carry smearing and compression blocks. Smart Repair cleans them up and restores faces, which fill most drama frames.
- 04Local processing has no per-minute fee, so a long season doesn’t add up episode by episode.
§02Workflow
One timeline, from source to delivery.
Follow the playhead through each step. Every block is a module you'll find in the app, running on your own computer.

Typical cloud path
Upload unreleased episodes, wait in a queue, pay per minute for each version, download, then package elsewhere.

Three-step workflow
Import the episode master
Bring the AI-generated or camera master onto the workstation; it stays there for every later step.
Repair the picture once
Run Smart Repair at 1080p or 4K and preview the worst scene. Then apply the parameters to the other episodes and use Export all.
Subtitle and deliver
Burn in or add each language’s SRT/ASS in Subtitle Edit, then convert to every platform’s codec and container.

§06FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can KwaFlux remove subtitles burned into an episode?
- No. Burned-in text is part of the picture, and object removal isn’t built for it. Ask for the textless master and subtitle that.
- Does it translate, transcribe or dub dialogue?
- No. Bring the translations as SRT or ASS from your translators; KwaFlux burns them in or adds them as a soft track. Dubbing isn’t part of the app.
- Can I run several clips through the same settings?
- Yes. Load the clips into one workspace, set the parameters on one, apply them to the rest and Export all. The Converter also takes a whole folder at once.
- Is my footage uploaded anywhere?
- No. The AI processing runs on your own GPU, and your clips are not uploaded for processing — there are no per-minute cloud fees or upload queues. KwaFlux still goes online for sign-in and license checks, app updates and model downloads (plus the GPU Acceleration Component on Mac), downloading a file from a link, and the crash and diagnostic reports described in our Privacy Policy.

Guides & comparisons
- Audio EnhanceRemove background noise from video or standalone audio files
- How to remove background noise from video — locallyViewers forgive soft pixels before they forgive hissy dialogue. Denoise, cut room echo, and separate vocals in the same local pipeline as the picture — no extract-then-reimport.
- How to edit video subtitles locally — SRT/ASS, not translationSubtitle Edit is the local tool for SRT/ASS cues: style, timing, burn-in or an MKV soft subtitle track. Translation and speech-to-text are not in this release.
- Clean up video audioClean up audio in video — less noise, less echo
These workflows use the same local KwaFlux app as AI Video Quality Repair, Video Converter and AI Video Enhancer. Free previews need no account; sign-in and a paid plan are needed to export, convert, repair a file, or download a file from a link.
