Abstract:
In various embodiments, a subtitle timing application detects timing errors between subtitles and shot changes. In operation, the subtitle timing application determines that a temporal edge associated with a subtitle does not satisfy a timing guideline based on a shot change. The shot change occurs within a sequence of frames of an audiovisual program. The subtitle timing application then determines a new temporal edge that satisfies the timing guideline relative to the shot change. Subsequently, the subtitle timing application causes a modification to a temporal location of the subtitle within the sequence of frames based on the new temporal edge. Advantageously, the modification to the subtitle improves a quality of a viewing experience for a viewer. Notably, by automatically detecting timing errors, the subtitle timing application facilitates proper and efficient re-scheduling of subtitles that are not optimally timed with shot changes.

Claim (Index 13):
The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of  claim 12 , wherein performing the one or more additional operations to select the second temporal edge comprises:\n computing a first distance between the first temporal edge and the start of the first zone; computing a second distance between the first temporal edge and the end of the first zone; computing a third distance between the first temporal edge and the first shot change; and if the first distance is smaller than the second distance and the first distance is smaller than the third distance, then setting the second temporal edge equal to the start of the first zone; or if the second distance is smaller than the third distance, then setting the second temporal edge equal to the end of the first zone; or setting the second temporal edge equal to the first shot change.
