Most Productions Still Confuse CCSL with Closed Captions — And It's Costing Them Deliveries
EntSun News/11061350
LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- As global distribution standards tighten, Gotham CCSL is sounding the alarm: countless producers, post supervisors, and content creators are still confusing CCSL (Combined Continuity and Spotting List) with Closed Captioning — a mistake that leads to rejected deliveries, delayed launches, and expensive do-overs.
Why It Matters
"We get asked this all the time," says the Gotham CCSL team. "Many clients confuse captions with CCSLs, but only CCSLs fulfill the deep documentation needs required by distributors, dubbing studios, and international buyers."
Both deliverables are important — but they are not interchangeable.
