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
ASSASS (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
SCCSCC (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.
