If you're creating a film intended for wide release, you'll most likely need captioning and possibly translation into foreign languages for other markets. This is where a film dialogue template will help you prepare for this next step.
While there are a number of different formatting standards that can be used when putting together the dialogue for your film, the most important thing is to communicate what's heard on screen and when, so that your captioning and translation partners can accurately produce new versions of your film.

Why You Need a Dialogue List Template
It's easy to become confused with the many different formats that may be requested. Terms like 'CCSL' or 'ABS' may sound foreign to you if you're not experienced in captioning and versioning.
That's why we've created a dialogue list template based on industry standards to get you started fast, and ensure you look professional when handing over the film for versioning.
To learn more about the various types of formats, be sure to check out our blog post on the dialogue list for film.
