OK, so you've got a subtitling job. Great! But unlike your course tutor, the Project Manager doesn't want to receive a 'normal' subtitle file, like an .srt .ssa .stl file you might have been working with until now.
The Project Manager has asked you to return an Excel file. In one column, you are required to put the time-ins, in the second, the time-outs, and in the third, you have to put the subtitles. While it may be possible to directly export to an Excel file on professional software like Swift, Spot or EZTitles, if you are new to the subtitling industry and using an open source subtitling program like Subtitle Edit, you are not so lucky.
Fortunately, after much experimenting with the export setting on Subtitle Edit, I have found a way of exporting your subtitles to an Excel File, with the time-ins, time-outs and subtitles all in separate columns.
