This course is approved for one American Translators Association Continuing Education point.
Your purchase includes:
* access to the online session with a Q&A portion,
* unlimited access to video recording and handouts (available within one working week after the session),
* a certificate of attendance available for download from your ProZ.com profile.
Important: Those who purchase a seat in advance may be able to pay an "early bird" or cheaper price, while those who confirm participation later or last minute, may likely have to pay a higher fee. In some training sessions a price increase based on the number of registrants may also apply, i.e. the first 15 registered pay one price, the next 10 pay a a slightly higher price etc.
Early payment is advised in order to secure participation and help reach the course minimum participation - unfortunately, courses may occasionally be cancelled or rescheduled, if the confirmed participation in advance is very low.
Even if you do not attend the online session you will still have unlimited access to the video recording and training materials within one working week after the session.
Have you ever turned down a subtitling project because the client didn't have a script in a document and you didn't know where to start when it comes to using pricey subtitling software? Well, there's a simpler way around such projects if you'll be working with shorter files, especially corporate videos that last up to 20 minutes. If you learn how to use DotSub, you'll be able to take these smaller subtitling projects and work on both the audio transcription and the respective translation to provide top-quality subtitles to clients.

Great introduction to subtitling
Mar 7, 2019
I was very happy to attend this webinar. I had thought of getting into subtitling, as there seems to be quite a bit of work out there, but wasn't sure how to do it. Rafa gave a basic overview of DotSub, which was simple and easy to understand. She's a good instructor, speaks clearly, and breaks everything down. As she said in the webinar, DotSub is an entry-level platform, so this is perfect if you're just starting out.

Thanks, Karin! It was great to "see" you during the live presentation, and I'm glad you enjoyed the content. I hope you have fun practicing with DotSub and start receiving your first projects in the area!
