Assetization projects
Assetization is the human review of what the machine already produced. When you upload a video, a webtoon episode, or a document, the machine first pulls out speakers, balloons, and sentence boundaries. People then check that work and settle it. What they settle becomes the workspace's source of truth, and search and translation use it from then on.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Learn with an example
Confirm webtoon text and speakers before translation
- When to use it
- You want to correct detected balloons and speakers so translation starts from a reliable source.
- What you need
- An analyzed webtoon episode asset and permission to create an assetization project
- Check the asset
Check analysis status and whether an assetization project is already in progress for the same episode.
- Open an assetization project
Check the destination, schedule, and assignee under Create assetization project.
- Review the source
Review balloon types, source text, missing speakers, and naming variants in the editor.
- Confirm, then translate
After your team's final check, complete assetization and continue to a translation project.
The next translation uses human-reviewed source text and speakers.
Screen and feature reference
Kinds#
The kind follows the type of the asset.
| Kind | Applies to | What people settle |
|---|---|---|
| Video assetization | Video | Speakers, segments (places), on-screen captions |
| Webtoon assetization | Images (webtoon episodes) | Balloon kinds, speakers, characters |
| Document assetization | Documents | Sentence boundaries, terms |
Creating an assetization project#
Select the assets on the Assets screen and choose Create an assetization project. The same command is on a single asset's overflow menu and on the asset detail screen.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Assets | The assets this project will settle |
| Location | The folder and group the project lands in |
| Schedule | Start and due dates |
| Owners | Who works this episode |
The due date drives the Due soonest sort in the project list and how work is spread across owners.
Already done by the machine, and what people finish#
When you create the project, Already done by the machine and What people finish are shown side by side. Without that, the work reads as if it starts from nothing, and the schedule comes out wrong.
For a webtoon, the machine has already:
- Suggested balloon kinds — shape and text patterns separate dialogue, sound effects, narration, and background text
- Extracted called names — collects names in the lines into character candidates
- Suggested turn-taking — fills speakers between confirmed lines
People work on top of that: confirm the kinds, fill the speakers left blank, and merge the spellings a character is scattered across.
When a project cannot be created#
| Message | What it means and what to do |
|---|---|
| Balloon analysis is required | This episode has never been analyzed. Turn on automatic balloon OCR in workspace settings and upload the images again |
| Balloon analysis is running | There is nothing to review until the analysis finishes. Try again shortly |
| Balloon analysis failed | Run the analysis again. If it keeps failing, check the source images |
| An assetization project is already in progress | If two people fix the same asset separately there is no single source of truth. Complete or delete that project, then create a new one |
While it runs#
Assetization projects sit in the project list alongside every other project. Opening a row opens the assetization editor for that content type.
The asset detail screen also shows who currently holds the episode. When an assetization project created by someone else is attached, its title and schedule are visible only to that project's members.
Completing#
When the review is done, choose Mark assetization complete.
Until then, search keeps using what the machine produced. What people fix reaches the assets only after the project is completed.
After completing — on to translation#
Once assetization is complete, you can go straight to Create translation project from that episode. The settled source and speakers become the starting point for the translation.
