Terms of laser subtitling
There is a possibility to place certain subtitles into different heights on picture (e.g. at inserted texts, main titles, etc.) and, also to make special squeezed subtitles for cinemascope films.
The spotting list contains
The minimal length of titles or space between two titles is eight frames.
The place of entry/exit of titles can be at full or half feet – the spotting list will indicate 00 or 08 as frames.
Due to the technology, a +/- 2 frames difference at the place of entry/exit of titles may emerge between the spotting list and the print. The numbering of titles and the indication of place of entry/exit of titles must be started at 0 in case of each roll.
Print for subtitling
In case the prints for subtitling are supplied to MFL by the Client, MFL will control the physical quality and, if possible, will correct the damages before the subtitling process on Client’s costs.
In case of damages found not correctable, MFL denies the subtitling and informs the Client immediately.

MFL suggests that Client should supply one extra copy at each release when used copies are to be subtitled. Any disadvantages due to the ignorance of this are Client’s responsibility.
MFL does not take responsibility for the dramaturgy.
