Free Online ASS to SCC Converter

Our ASS to SCC converter reads Advanced SubStation Alpha input and produces Scenarist Closed Captioning output entirely in your browser. Source ASS timing (H:MM:SS.cc centiseconds) is converted to SCC timing (SMPTE HH:MM:SS:FF at 29.97fps). Styling and markup that the target format cannot represent are normalized or stripped, leaving valid, ready-to-use output. The conversion runs client-side, so your subtitle files are never uploaded to a server.

Input Format

ASS

ASS (Advanced SubStation Alpha v4+) is an extended subtitle format used heavily in anime distribution. It features a [Script Info] header, a [V4+ Styles] section defining fonts, colors, outlines, and shadows, and an [Events] section of Dialogue lines carrying inline override tags such as {\pos}, {\blur}, and {\fad}. Timing uses centisecond precision (H:MM:SS.cc). ASS supports positioning, vector drawing, and karaoke effects.

Output Format

SCC

SCC (Scenarist Closed Captioning) is the industry-standard format for delivering CEA-608 (Line 21) closed captions to North American broadcast television and streaming services. SCC encodes caption text as hexadecimal byte pairs paired with SMPTE timecodes at 29.97 fps and begins with a Scenarist_SCC V1.0 header.

Features

Encodes subtitle text into CEA-608 hexadecimal byte pairs.
Converts source timing to SMPTE timecodes (HH:MM:SS:FF at 29.97fps).
Inserts CEA-608 pop-on caption control codes for proper display.
Adds the required Scenarist_SCC V1.0 file header.

Why Convert?

SCC is required for closed-caption delivery to North American broadcast television networks.
Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu delivery specs accept SCC as a primary caption format.
FCC regulations require CEA-608 compliant captions for television programming, which SCC delivers.
Broadcast automation and playout servers read SCC but not plain-text subtitle formats.

Format Differences

ASS and SCC use different internal structures; the converter normalizes the source cues into the target layout.
ASS uses centisecond timestamps (H:MM:SS.cc); SCC uses SMPTE timecodes HH:MM:SS:FF at 29.97fps with hex byte pairs.
ASS may carry styling or markup; SCC supports its own styling model, so unsupported formatting is mapped or dropped.

Common Use Cases

Broadcast Caption Delivery

Produce SCC files for delivery to television networks, cable operators, and playout systems requiring CEA-608.

Streaming Compliance

Generate SCC to meet Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu caption delivery specifications.
