/in

To round off a successful 2021, following SubtitleNEXT’s virtual presence at successful APTRAD and Languages & the Media digital events this year, suggestions were made by professional subtitlers for the team to run a series of workshops.

SubtitleNEXT responded with enthusiasm and the devoted team got to work and ran a series of informative free online workshops, which took place for an hour, every Friday from October 15th.

The series comprised of eight sessions were hosted by the developer and creator of SubtitleNEXT Kamen Ferdinandov. They were an enormous success, with a fantastic turnout of attendees, that interacted and engaged in the Q&A that took place after each session.

Key feature topics were covered across the 8 comprehensive Friday workshops, summarised below:

  • The October 15th SubtitleNEXT Workshop demonstrated how to create subtitles from scratch or from a source.
  • The October 22nd SubtitleNEXT Workshop gave subtitlers tips on how to work more efficiently when checking, editing, correcting, fixing and finalising subtitles for delivery.
  • The October 29th SubtitleNEXT Workshop covered ideas on how to work more efficiently when translating subtitles.
  • The November 5th SubtitleNEXT Workshop revealed how to creatively style and format subtitles using SubtitleNEXT.
  • The November 19th SubtitleNEXT Workshop taught subtitlers an array of valuable tools and skills such as how to use SubtitleNEXT for live subtitling of TV shows, live events, online meetings and video streaming platforms.
  • The November 26th SubtitleNEXT Workshop familiarised viewers with how companies and teams can collaborate and successfully perform online subtitling with NEXT-TT and SubtitleNEXT.
  • The December 3rd SubtitleNEXT Workshop outlined NEXT-TT’s innovative management features to help subtitlers gear up and be well-prepared to confidently face 2022 and the challenges ahead in their upcoming projects.
  • The final SubtitleNEXT Workshop on December 10th, included a bit of festive cheer, concluding with a quiz for participants to enter the raffle for a chance to win a free SubtitleNEXT license. This final session of the year ensured subtitlers were armed with the latest generation subtitling tools and knowledge skillsets they need to enhance their work.
