ABSTRACT

Cinema subtitlers normally work from paper to paper, translating dialogue from a post-production script, the end product being a list of subtitles. These subtitles are then trans­ ferred onto the film by others . Television and video subtitlers , on the other hand, usually work from videotape to disk, creating, editing, and time-cueing the subtitles on a PC-based workstation. Here, the subtitler's end product is a floppy disk ready for broadcast.
