Free Online STL to SCC Converter
Our STL to SCC converter reads Spruce Subtitle input and produces Scenarist Closed Captioning output entirely in your browser. Source STL timing (SMPTE HH:MM:SS:FF frame timecodes) 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
STLSTL (Spruce Subtitle) is a text-based subtitle format used in DVD authoring and some broadcast workflows. Each entry uses comma-separated start and end timecodes followed by the subtitle text, with the pipe character (|) denoting line breaks. This text STL variant is distinct from the binary EBU STL broadcast format.
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.
