These are also called ‘open’ captions and they are part of the video file itself. One method of subtitling is called ‘burned on’ subtitles, which means they cannot be turned on or off and are always visible. Subtitles usually have a character limit of around 44 characters and 2 lines per subtitle.Ĭlick here for further examples: Burnt-on Tamil subtitles We can apply any style of subtitle you want, from a transparent band behind the text to drop shadows. In the video above, Adelphi has created burnt-on Tamil subtitles (open captions).
It is always best to transcribe the video with time-codes in the original language first and only then translate, so only one set of time-coding needs to be done.Make sure the video you provide us with is final, as all the translated content and timings will have to be redone at an extra cost if they change in the middle of the project.Where possible, provide a glossary list of these, so we can inform our translators. Always check if the subject has already been translated into the language you require, as this might mean there are established ways to spell product names etc.Tips for preparing your videos for subtitling This makes Adelphi the full-service Tamil localization agency for all your Tamil subtitling requirements.
