Swift Create Workflow - part of the Swift Create solution - allowing broadcasters and post houses to control the subtitle creation process with assignable tasks and a graphical user interface that visualizes key information.

Swift Create is a proven solution used by prestigious broadcasters, post houses and numerous freelancers across the globe. It has been designed to boost productivity and is flexible enough to cope with any subtitling task from live television to digital cinema, thanks to its wide format support.

Current legislation requires certain levels of subtitled output for hard of hearing viewers. Subtitles may also help broadcasters in maximizing return on investment by making content available to other markets that may require translation. This means that subtitling and captioning are becoming key elements of broadcasting and distributing program content. But before re-purposing large libraries of material by adding subtitles, you may need to overcome a number of challenges.
