Finnish SUBTITLING PROCESS

Working with Graffiti Studios on your Finnish subtitling project is easy! A dedicated account manager makes the project planning that considers all the needed tools and resources (time, budget, subtitling specialists with subject matter competence, file validation and transfer in the requested delivery formats) to meet your requirements. We handle everything from start to finish for your subtitling needs.

To start Finnish subtitling we only need a video file in any format. If you have a script available (preferably with a time code) that’s great but not necessary. You are welcome to review and approve the Finnish translation before delivery of the final Finnish subtitle version.

We provide Finnish subtitling based on the following scenarios for inputs:

• Finnish subtitling from template (translation and subtitle development)
• Finnish subtitling without template (translation, time coding, subtitle development)
• Finnish subtitling on provided script (adaptation, time coding, subtitle development)
• Finnish subtitling with no script available (transcription, translation, time coding, subtitle development)

Upon transcription, the script is loaded into subtitling software where times are inserted and the audio is synched to the onscreen dialogue (time coding). At this point, any formatting will be added to the Finnish subtitles including italics, upper case letters, and color or placement changes. Finally, the video is watched on a full playback and the Finnish subtitles are proofread for correct grammar, spelling, timings and consistency.

Finnish subtitling workflow management

Graffiti Studios provide the most secure, transparent, and flexible end-to-end workflow for any type of Finnish subtitling job. We harness the latest technology to set, execute and track performance of custom-built subtitling workflows that manage tasks and media distribution to native Finnish subtitlers. Once set, the workflow is automated for each Finnish subtitling project. It uses encrypted and secure file transfer protocols for file transfer to ensure the ultimate security of your content.

Depending on your provided materials we set different subtitling steps and build custom workflows for each Finnish subtitling project, in every distribution window- from Digital Cinema to Mobile platforms.

Subtitling process in a nutshell

• Assigning Finnish subtitling project to a PM
• Project planning (budget, timing, resources)
• Creating English templates
• Assigning templates for translation
• Translating the template into Finnish
• Receipt of Finnish subtitle files
• Finnish subtitle validation (quality check)
• Sending the Finnish subtitles for Client approval
• Finnish subtitle burn-in (if requested)
• Project closure

We provide Finnish subtitles that are perfectly timed to the exact frame. Depending on your request you receive Finnish subtitles that can be switched on and off (closed captions) or ready-to-use videos with translated burnt-in subtitles (open captions), ready to be uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo channels, DVD or Blu-Ray. On-screen text and captions in your video can be translated and graphically edited before we rebuild the video in any format or codec you request. Thus you receive a flawless Finnish subtitling version for any platform including PAL, NTSC, VOD, WEB, smartphones, game consoles, mp3 players and tablets.
