        Frequently Asked Questions

      What is the difference between a CCSL and CDSL?
      A CCSL inclues a continuity script. This is shot by shot description of the film with accurate time code. It also includes the dialogue transcription and spotting list. CDSL covers the dialogue and spotting list but does not include the shot description, which is a very time consuming endeavour.
      What are the benefits of using a CCSL for creating closed captions and subtitles?
      For closed captioning, the CCSL includes all dialogues written out verbatim, adhering to the American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. This practice not only ensures accessibility compliance but also simplifies the process of creating accurate closed captions that are essential for hearing-impaired viewers.

      Moreover, the precise timecodes noted in the CCSL, generated through specialized captioning and subtitling software, facilitate the synchronization of captions and subtitles with the audio-visual content. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for timing adjustments, making the captioning and subtitling process more efficient.

      Additionally, the detailed, ready-to-use script format of a CCSL helps translation and localization teams in creating subtitles for multiple languages, promoting global distribution of content. The pre-existing, detailed time-coded framework means translators can focus primarily on linguistic accuracy and cultural nuances, rather than timing, thereby enhancing the quality of subtitles created for international audiences.

      How can a dialogue list help me?
      Apart from being a delivery requirement of a distributor or network, creating a dialogue list will give you a detailed picture of your film. Where every word was spoken? Who said it? Were they on-screen or off-screen? Which lower-thirds or on screen graphics were used?
      Is a dialogue list produced manually?
      While we have some in-house custom made software solutions to help with formatting and syncing, the actual grunt work is all done meticulously by our experts in the field. This means that every word is transcribed. Every speaker is identified. Every on-screen graphic is included. Every lyric and sound effect is heard by human ears.
