Subtitle Your Video is an innovative new way to create and manage subtitles for the web and DVD. You can use it yourself, or invite your vendors to use Subtitle Your Video to subtitle your digital movies. The subtitler can cut the cost for subtitling, and speed the process dramatically.

Web subtitles appear below the image for easier reading, unless you set the preferences for on-image subtitles. The length of web subtitles is recommended to be longer than the usual short movie subtitles due to latency, slow loading, and digital “freeze”.

Creating subtitles that are full sentences will give people more time to receive the subtitles than traditional subtitles that are only a few words. Because the subtitles appear below the image rather than on the image, this approach works well. But if you prefer to create short subtitles, you are in control.

For DVD, the subtitles can appear below the image or directly on the image. Subtitle Your Video will provide the edit list of time codes. That edit list can contain the corresponding text for the screen, if you choose that style. The on-line subtitler can also provide the graphic subtitle files as tif or png, that correspond to the edit list.

For Flash, Subtitle Your Video creates usable XML for import and subtitle generation live at runtime. Or, press a button to create a completed turnkey Flash movie, with drop-down list of language selection, or buttons for language choice.
