Hi all!
Does anybody know what "translation from template" and "time coding" mean?
I have been asked by a post production company (DVD, cinema etc..) which are my rates for the above
services.
Thank you in advance for your help

Time coding:
Every subtitle must have a Time In and a Time Out (This is the Time Code), that is, the exact moment in wich it appears / disappears from screen.
Depending on format (DVD, 35mm., etc.), about 40 caracters per line, 80 per 2 lines.
No less than 1 second per subtitle on screen, no more than 5 seconds per subtitle on screen. (Well, that's what I do)
Example:
01:00:02:32.13 01:00:02:35.13
- Hi there. How are you?
- Hi... See more Time coding:

- Hi there. How are you?
- Hi, fine. And you?
01 = Reel number (can be sometimes 10)
00 = hour
02 = minute
32 = seconds
13 = frames (24 frames per second, remember)
Sometimes, no frames, but milliseconds.
This subtitle, 3 seconds on screen.
This is very triky to do.
Must have special software (Subtitle Workshop, etc.), must have very special skills to translate and adapt... and "compress" the dialogues because the lack of time. This is our major problem: translators for subtitles must NOT translate everything... strange, isn't it?
As I always say here: if you have no idea, drop it.
Good luck anyway. ▲ Collapse

Translation from template is when the client sends you the subtitles in a word document (for example) and you translate them replacing the original with the translation or they have two parallel columns and you fill the translation side by side with the original.
I have never done any time coding, but as far as I know it is when the translator, while translating, also puts in the times codes referring to each subtitle (when it appears and disappears).

| Juan and Ana Catarina are absolutely correct, | Apr 1, 2009 |
..I would add that if you are required to ADD time coding on top of subtitle translation, your per minute rate should be higher - this will take quite some time.
Good luck!

How much you charge for creating subtitles from scratch.
Also, what is our stance in regards to necroposting? It seems to be frowned upon, but it's not against the rules. Because I'll have to admit, I don't always check the OP's posting date.
