Brainwoods Video Localization | Equipment and Formats for Subtitling and Dubbing DVDs, Online Videos, Promotional Videos, and Other Video Content
Brainwoods can add subtitles or dubbed audio to a wide range of video materials and deliver the finished content in your preferred format. Professional audio recording and video editing at our partner studios ensure that the finished product is ready to use as soon as it is delivered.
For subtitle translation, we use the specialized SST G1 Series software to create subtitle data and synchronize each subtitle's start and end points with the timecode. We can also deliver subtitle data on its own, including the SDB format used by subtitling software and the SRT and VTT text formats used for online distribution.
Video editing work, including subtitling and audio insertion, is performed at our offices or by our registered partners and partner studios.
