Troubleshooting
Video download fails?
Check your network (overseas videos may need a proxy); some platforms have anti-scraping measures—update Creator to the latest version; confirm the URL format.
Transcription is inaccurate?
Use a larger Whisper model (Settings → Whisper Model); manually specify the audio language; heavy background noise reduces accuracy.
AI rewriting times out?
Check your API Key balance; split overly long text into segments; switch to a faster model (such as deepseek-chat).
Publishing fails?
The platform login may have expired—scan the QR code again; check whether the content violates platform rules (title/images/sensitive words); platform API changes may require waiting for a Creator update.
