This is especially true for foreign-language documentaries with hours and hours of footage that need transcribing, translating, and subtitling. However, assistant editors using AVID Media Composer can easily ingest subtitles straight onto the timeline \u2014 which saves editors and their assistants hours of time inputting the subtitles manually.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gPoxaoOzZ_8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-three-steps-of-the-subtitling-process\">The Three Steps of the Subtitling Process<\/h3>\n<p>Foreign language interviews <strong>must <\/strong>get\u00a0translated before an editor begins working with the footage. Producers, directors, and the editing team will need subtitles in order to work with and understand interview footage.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s important to begin the translation\/subtitling process as soon as you receive the footage.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>three key steps<\/strong> to subtitling your foreign language project:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Transcribing<\/strong> the interview into written text, in its original language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Translating<\/strong> the original language to the target language.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generating subtitles<\/strong> based on the translated text.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div id=\"attachment_125652\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125652\" class=\"wp-image-125652 size-full\" title=\"The Subtitling Process\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg\" alt=\"The Subtitling Process\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Subtitling-Process.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-125652\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The steps to subtitling your foreign language project.

Your interview sequence is simply a sequence that you&#8217;ve created in AVID that only includes a single interview for transcription and translation. A low-resolution, timecode-watermarked export of this sequence will suffice for the transcription team.<\/p>\n<p>In order to generate subtitles from your newly transcribed and translated text, you should have your transcription team mark timecode stamps on the transcription at intervals of <strong>5-10 seconds<\/strong>. These timecode stamps should match the timecode in the low-resolution video you provided the transcription team.<\/p>\n<p>Transcripts without timecode stamps are virtually useless when generating subtitles. This is because you\u2019ll need to know how the translated text syncs with the interview footage in your sequence.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-process\">The Process<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"step-1-create-sequences-for-each-interview-youd-like-subtitled\">Step 1: Create sequences for each interview you&#8217;d like subtitled.<\/h4>\n<p>A quick way to do this is by right-clicking your master clip, and selecting <strong>AutoSequence<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-125630 size-full\" title=\"AutoSequence Function in AVID MC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/AutoSequence_edited.gif\" alt=\"AutoSequence Function in AVID MC\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budsimpson.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Bud Simpson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After creating sequences for all interviews that need subtitling, it\u2019s time to prep the interview clips for export.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"step-2-create-a-timecode-burn-in-and-watermark\">Step 2: Create a timecode burn-in and watermark.<\/h4>\n<p>Open one of your newly created interview sequences, add an additional video layer (\u2318 + Y), then navigate to the <strong>Effects<\/strong> tab, and add the <strong>Timecode Burn-In effect<\/strong> to the newly created video layer.<\/p>\n<p>Open the <strong>Effect Editor<\/strong> and adjust the size, color, position, and opacity of your timecode burn-in.

However, for smaller-budget productions, it\u2019s worth checking with your producers to find someone already involved with the project who can transcribe your interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how you choose to transcribe your interviews, the transcription team will need the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A low-resolution video for each of your interviews.<\/li>\n<li>Notes on how you\u2019d like the content to be transcribed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to provide the transcription team a template for how you\u2019d like the text to be transcribed.<\/p>\n<p>You can access an example template <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budsimpson.com\/foreign-language-transcription\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_125653\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-125653\" class=\"wp-image-125653 size-full\" title=\"Transcription Template\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg\" alt=\"Transcription Template\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/transcription-temaple.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-125653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A transcription template is an important element for your team.
