To learn template-making with free software, enabling students everywhere in the world to start working for companies without having to buy expensive subtitling software.

Also, this course is a first step in becoming a subtitler.

 

Template-making

After finishing this course, you can start making subtitle templates for subtitling companies all over the the world.

Subtitle templates are used for Same Language Subtitling, subtitling for the hearing-impaired, and subtitling in all kinds of languages for television, DVD and film.

Companies use templates to save time and money, as the timing has to be done only once and the transcription can be used as script for translation into other languages.

The course is hands-on and focuses on active learning (learning-by-doing).
