Scope of support / Video Localization
Beyond translated text. Localization of the whole visual experience.
Title cards, animated captions, charts, screenshots and narration need to work together. We first identify elements requiring localization and agree how to prepare them for production.
We check editable Premiere Pro or After Effects projects, fonts, graphics and linked assets. We identify on-screen text (OST) and materials for translation. If only a rendered video is available, we analyze representative scenes and assess text reconstruction options.
On-screen text and animation
We insert translated title cards, captions, headings and animated on-screen text (OST). We adapt text frames, layouts, display duration and animation to target-language length while preserving the video’s character.
We localize diagrams, charts and illustrations, reconstructing elements without editable source files where included in scope. We adapt screenshots and interface materials to the approved product language version.
Subtitles and voice tracks
We integrate translated subtitles and supplied or newly generated TTS audio. We check synchronization with the visuals and narration length. Transcription, subtitle production and recording scope are defined in the quote.
Editing language versions
We work in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or the agreed project environment. We adapt sequences, transitions and audio tracks and export to the target publication channel’s specification.
We prepare SME review versions in Frame.io, collect approved feedback and implement corrections. We check text, framing, audio, subtitles and completeness of language versions before handover.
OST text export and import
Where the project structure allows, we export on-screen text with scene or layer IDs for translation. We agree an exchange format and import translations back into the project. A sample verifies correct mapping and reduces manual text entry.
OST reconstruction without source files
Only have the finished video? We assess whether source text can be removed, the background reconstructed and editable text layers added in After Effects or Premiere Pro. We match style, placement and motion. The scope and achievable quality are evaluated on sample scenes.
