Prerequisites

Before reading this document, you need to understand the following concepts:

What is a scenario-based solution?

Scenario-based refers to designing and optimizing product features based on the requirements of specific usage scenarios (such as short videos, micro dramas, Feeds streams, etc.) to better match users' actual usage habits. The micro drama scenario solution is specifically designed for micro drama scenarios, providing a complete end-to-end customized technical solution to help developers quickly implement comprehensive micro drama playback functionality while enhancing user experience.

Benefits

Micro drama as an emerging content form has rapidly become a core content format on short video platforms due to its advantages of high efficiency, compact plot, and strong user engagement.

However, the micro drama industry faces challenges of "high costs, long cycles, and complex scenarios". To address these challenges, Alibaba Cloud has launched the AUI Kits Micro Drama Development Suite, which provides an end-to-end solution through modular functional design and low-code integration technology, with business encapsulation specifically for micro drama scenarios. The solution offers the following advantages:

  • Intelligent production

    Through AI technologies such as online editing, video translation, and intelligent subtitling, the entire process of micro drama content production is intelligently optimized, helping micro dramas reach global audiences.

  • Ultimate cost optimization

    Based on the characteristics of micro dramas, a scenario-based Narrowband HD™ transcoding solution is provided to make video images more refined and enhance the visual experience. Additionally, it significantly reduces video bitrate, greatly reducing traffic costs and helping enterprises save expenses.

  • Smooth playback experience

    With over 3,200 acceleration nodes globally, it provides secure, stable, and reliable content delivery services worldwide. ApsaraVideo Player SDK offers services such as first-frame instant loading, adaptive bitrate streaming, and playback quality monitoring, delivering a premium playback experience.

  • Video content security

    Content copyright is the core asset of micro dramas. If they are played through hotlinking, it will cause economic losses to the business. This solution provides comprehensive security support from video file encryption, accelerated domain name access control to the anti-screen recording function of the player SDK, effectively reducing the risk of theft.

  • Global business compliance

    With Level 3 certification from the Ministry of Public Security, it covers more than 130 compliance certifications including global, regional, industry-specific, and data protection and privacy. Data and privacy comply with the laws and regulations of the business location, ensuring the operational security of customers' businesses in China and globally.
