1Subtitles

AI assistantConnected to SkyCut · MCP

Check the subtitles again: make them a bit bigger and tighter, and pick a nicer font.

First I'll look at how the subtitles actually sit on the picture, then change them.

They're in Helvetica at 56, a little small, and you've already placed them. I'll switch to PingFang, make them bigger, bring the English and Chinese lines closer and thicken the outline.

Done: English and Chinese are now the same size, the two lines sit tighter, and they read on bright snow too. The change applies to the whole project and is saved.

2Export

AI assistantConnected to SkyCut · MCP

Export the film again in 1080p without subtitles, then export the Chinese and English subtitles as separate files.

The project is open: 3:32 long, end card included. First I'll export the 1080p video without subtitles into the Final folder.

All three files are exported. I checked sample frames: no subtitles on screen where people speak, and the closing “made with skystudioai.com” is still there.

3Covers

Use my photo to make two landscape covers for Pole to Pole: 16:9 for Douyin and 4:3 for RedNote.

With your photo as the subject, I'll generate both right in SkyCut.
