Video has risen prominently in the global marketplace. Video localization is a great opportunity to grow your LSP’s business. Yet, few project and account managers are well equipped to handle video localization projects. This GALA Master Class provides an overview of the video localization process, different tools and file formats, pricing methods, and various challenges to be aware of.

Participants will learn what questions to ask of clients, what elements are in a video, and how to set turnaround time for each part of the process. The session also addresses voice over recording and synchronizing multilingual audio recordings with video. Gain a better understanding of the traditional technologies as well as the newer, more advanced options available.
