This bundle is perfect for you if you...

  • already subtitle professionally and want to work for streaming platforms or the vendors who supply them

  • handle forced narratives by instinct and would rather handle them by judgement

  • get sent a 40-page style guide and would like to know which parts actually get checked

  • review or QC other people's files and want a firmer basis than "that looks wrong to me"

  • manage subtitling projects and need to know what you're signing off

“A really great course to understand those ambiguous points of subtitling guidelines. I found particularly useful the extract about shot changes and FNs. I truly enjoyed it.”

FAQ

  • Do I need to have subtitling experience?

    Yes. This bundle assumes you can already time and translate a subtitle. If you're starting from scratch, the Beginner's guide to subtitling is the perfect bundle to start with.

  • Which platforms' guidelines do you cover?

    The principles the major streaming platforms have in common, and the main areas where they differ. We don't reproduce any individual platform's style guide, but you'll be able to work confidently from one when a client sends it.

  • Does it work for my language pair?

    Yes. The examples are in English, but the principles apply whichever languages you work with.

  • Can I buy the two courses separately?

    Of course. Buying them together simply costs less.

  • Will it help me get streaming work?

    We can't promise work, but you'll be able to take on streaming projects with confidence and deliver files that meet the brief.
