How does the subtitling process work?

At Andiamo! we offer a full subtitling service and you can use all of the stages we offer or just some of them if you can handle some elements yourself. Below is the general subtitling process that’s most commonly requested by our clients:

• You send us your video in any format along with your script and we look over it before providing a quote.
• Once we receive the go-ahead we time-code the script, which involves dividing the speech into small sections of two lines that will fit on the screen with timings that match the video.
• Our specialist translator(s) then translate the time-coded script adhering to the spatial restrictions.
• The translations are then checked by our in-house graduate linguists, or if you’ve opted for our Gold Service, by a second specialist translator.
• The translations are then finalised, brought into the subtitling software, adjusted to fit then burnt on to your video, which is then returned to you in your requested format.
