ADSL & CCSL Scripts

Scene-by-scene continuity and spotting documents — the reference scripts localization, QC and archive teams work from.

ADSL & CCSL Scripts at SM Media

A Combined Continuity and Spotting List is the definitive written record of a finished programme: every shot described, every line of dialogue transcribed, every piece of on-screen text noted, all against timecode. It is what a distributor hands to a localization vendor so that every language version is built from the same source of truth.

We prepare these script deliverables to the level of detail international distribution requires — shot continuity, dialogue with in and out timecodes, on-screen text and inserts, and the notes a translator needs to handle idiom, culture-specific reference and intentional ambiguity.
