Webtoon assetization editor
Opening a webtoon assetization project opens this editor. It is where people check and settle the balloons the machine read.
The screen#
| Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Left rail | The source images for this episode. Click to move between them |
| Center | The source image with element boxes laid over it. The numbers are the reading order |
| Right | The balloon list, split into All · Text · Images tabs |
| Top | Three progress axes, plus Character candidates, Search, Filter, Issues, and Manage |
The bottom toolbar holds the edit, pan, and select tools and the zoom level; Element boxes turns the boxes off and on. View shortcut keys and View reference information are here too.
The list on the right has four columns.
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
| # | Reading order (1-1, 1-2, …) |
| Kind · Category | Dialogue, narration, sound effect, background text |
| Speaker | Who said it. Not dialogue when nobody does |
| Source · Note | The text that was read. Character names appear as chips |
Three progress axes#
Classified · Speaker · Images each carry their own percentage at the top. They are not rolled into one number because each axis counts a different denominator.
| Axis | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Classified | Whether the balloon's kind is settled |
| Speaker | Whether it is settled who spoke |
| Images | Whether image elements that need a note have one. N/A when there are none |
Setting the kind#
Select a balloon and set its kind. The kind decides what the balloon is used for.
| Kind | Used for |
|---|---|
| Dialogue | Relations, speakers |
| Narration | Names characters |
| Sound effect | Panel intensity |
| Background text | Place clues |
A machine-suggested kind carries a confidence value and the shape it was read from.
- Oval balloon — likely dialogue
- Rectangular box — likely narration
- Spiky balloon — a shout
- Large text outside a balloon — likely a sound effect
Select several and use All N selected at once to set them together.
Confirming speakers#
Dialogue gets a speaker. Where the machine's turn-taking suggestion is right, confirm it; where it left a blank, fill it in.
Narration has a speaker too when it is first person. Turning on First person opens the speaker cell. You can also mark Monologue and Off-panel. Modifiers the machine filled in can be turned off when they are wrong.
Character candidates#
The Character candidates panel collects the names called in this episode's dialogue. It is where you merge spellings, set titles aside, and confirm.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Merge into … | Pull another spelling of the same person into one name |
| Split into two people | If one name is two people, pick the balloons that belong to the other one |
| Register as a person | Stand a new character up |
| Confirm | Finish the review |
The machine flags what it doubts.
- Looks like a title rather than a person — a form of address rather than a name
- Suspected OCR typo — one character away from a name that already exists
A called name points at the listener, not the speaker. Assign the next balloon to this character carries it to the balloon that follows.
Adding and deleting balloons#
When the machine missed a spot, draw it with Add a balloon. It takes a new reading-order number, and Move earlier / later in the reading order shifts it. For things in the art that are not text, use Draw an image element.
Filter and search#
Filter keeps only the balloons you want — text only, images only, only ones with issues. The rest stay faded on the image so you do not lose where they were.
Assetization has no translation column, so only the source is searched.
Issues#
Where the kind, the speaker, or the text is genuinely arguable, raise an issue. Pick the balloon first. Write what is unclear, including why the call is hard, and the next person does not stall in the same place. Use Mark as resolved when it is settled.
Finishing the episode#
- Episode summary — one line on what happens in this episode, written in the Manage panel.
- Image review for this episode is done — closes the Images axis.
When all three axes are closed, mark the assetization complete from the project screen.
