Brainwoods Video Localization Service Flow for Subtitling, Dubbing, Voice-over Production, and Video Localization
This page explains the process and important considerations for clients interested in video or audio translation and localization.
At Brainwoods, we listen carefully to your requirements and preferences, discuss the project with you, and recommend the translation and production approach best suited to your needs.
We provide video subtitling and dubbing translation and production services for businesses and professionals in film production, distribution, promotion, and post-production.
Complete the required fields in our free quotation request form and submit it. Providing the optional information as well will help make the subsequent consultation and quotation process smoother.
For an estimate before contacting us, please see our pricing information.
Our staff will discuss your requirements with you in detail by telephone, email, Zoom, or another convenient method.
Based on our consultation, we will provide details of the proposed work and a quotation.
After reviewing the delivery schedule, price, and terms and conditions, please email us to confirm your order. We will begin work once the contract details have been confirmed.
We select the translator best suited to the video's language, content, and subject matter.
For subtitles: spotting and subtitle translation → proofreading → review
For dubbing or voice-over: script translation → proofreading → review
If no script is available, we transcribe the video's audio. An additional fee applies if you require the transcript itself.
For specialized content, a subject-matter translator first produces an accurate translation, which a video translator then adapts for subtitles or a recording script.
Before we produce the final video, you will have an opportunity to review the translation. We will revise wording, notation, and other details based on your feedback.
For subtitles: preliminary mixed video and text
For dubbing or voice-over: recording script
For subtitles: We embed the subtitles into the video.
For dubbing or voice-over: We record in a post-production audio studio and edit the audio.
We convert and deliver the video in your requested format, such as MP4, Excel, or SRT. Please confirm that the files play or display correctly in your environment.
As a rule, client-requested revisions after production incur an additional fee.
We will send you a PDF invoice after your acceptance of the deliverables or by the date agreed in advance. Please make payment by the due date shown on the invoice.
We offer an optional survey covering the overall service, including our staff's support and the quality of the translation and production. We use your feedback to improve our services.
We require at least one to two business days between your inquiry and the start of service. During this time, we explain our services, confirm the terms and conditions, prepare a proposal, select translators, arrange a studio, and schedule the work. We therefore cannot provide translation or delivery on the day of a first inquiry. Once an ongoing business relationship has been established, same-day or next-day delivery may be possible if arranged with us in advance.
We regret that we cannot accept requests involving any of the following:
We offer an expedited workflow for projects with short turnaround times, including subtitle translation for video streaming services. Please also contact us about feature-length videos and series.
We securely manage information received from clients by telephone, email, web form, or other means. Please refer to our privacy policy for details about how we handle personal information.
