Subtitles Guidelines
At Red Bull Media House, we have standardized guidelines for adding subtitles to any production. You are required to burn in forced narrative subtitle files (FNS), which are only required when an alternate language is used and needs to be localized and translated into the original language of the content. Whether it's HD or 4K, there are specific methods to adhere to.
The subtitle template is full automated.
The text is not limited and the back- ground box will automatically adjust.
Other than that the following parameters can be adjusted:
- Typeset (Language)
Latin / Cyrillic, Japanese / Chinese or Arabic / Hebrew - Resolution
5 of the standard resolutions - Position
Bottom, middle or top - Social Media
Text is enlarged to enable read- ability on smaller screens - Lower Third
Background is fully opaque
