Capital Captions offer EBU-TT and EBU-STL subtitles which are accurate and well timed, suitable for use online, on television or with Video on Demand services, value for money, reliable and offered with short turnaround times.
For many broadcasters (including the BBC), timed text formats such as EBU-TT, XML, TTML or DFXP are being utilised either as a successor or alongside EBU-STL. The underlying reason for this change in preference is the fact that EBU-TT subtitles effectively bridge the gap between EBU-STL used for broadcasting and TTML used for web video applications.
Video producers will often wonder which subtitle format is best for their video productions. However, broadcasters who will often have the final say when it comes to captioning formats, and will stipulate which specific subtitle format they require for their video content. EBU-TTand EBU-STL subtitles are the most common format for broadcast television.
At Capital Captions, we create professional EBU-TT and EBU-STL subtitles for large numbers of clients across a broad range of sectors. Our subtitle and closed caption services include formatting of colours, positioning, font and foreign characters as and when required. We work hard to comply with any house style specifications in order to ensure consistency across all videos.
Upon signing new clients, we create our own standard templates for subtitling as well as closed captioning. These include specifications on subtitle colours, line lengths, timings and visual transitions. Standard templates also include spelling preferences, writing styles (verbatim and intelligent verbatim) and more… We work tirelessly to ensure perfection, readability, reliability and consistency in all of our subtitle work. We will provide amendments free of charge if requested within 48 hours of file delivery.
Foreign EBU-TT and EBU-STL Subtitles: We are happy to work with translations of subtitles or closed captions, and ensure that we maintain our high standards for foreign subtitle work, making formatting changes to subtitles where necessary as well as ensuring linguists comply with writing guidelines in the source language. Both EBU-TT and EBU-STL are equally suitable for closed caption and subtitle translations.
