Prepare before the screening
Share a Prepared Screening When You Read Different Languages
Prepare the film once, share its subtitle setup, and let each person read the language they prefer. Check the files together before you reach the cinema.
The short answer
A CinemaCC screening link carries the prepared subtitle files for a catalog-linked film. A share card can carry the same link as a scannable code. The recipient opens that film’s preparation page and chooses a reading language; each device starts its own subtitle clock when the movie begins.
Before sharing
- Match the film title, release and cut to the screening you will attend.
- Prepare one reading track, or two tracks for two languages, and check the opening dialogue.
- Keep the prepared film in Library so you can open it again.
Send the prepared setup
Card rendering can fall back to a text link. That does not mean the subtitle link failed; open it once before you depend on a printed or posted code.
- Open the prepared film and its subtitle file actions in the native app, then choose Share.
- Send the screening link through the share sheet. When CinemaCC can generate the movie/language card, its code opens the same setup.
- Check what you sent: a screening link should open the film and prepared tracks. An import without a catalog identity falls back to sharing the app, so send the subtitle files separately if needed.
Open it on the other phone
- Open the link, or scan the card’s code, and follow it into CinemaCC’s film preparation page.
- Check the film and the subtitle tracks. Choose your own reading language; the sender’s preference is only suggested when you have not chosen one.
- Complete preparation and confirm the files are available before leaving the network.
- Check a clear line together. Two translations may split the same dialogue into different cues, even when their timelines match.
Start together at your seats
Tap Enter theater and press Play at the film’s first frame on each phone. Sharing does not start or control the other phone’s clock. If one viewer loses the line, that viewer can browse or adjust timing locally.
Find My Place depends on supported English or French dialogue subtitles, phone speech resources and microphone permission. Reading a Chinese translation does not make Chinese dialogue recognition available. Even G2 uses its separate companion with manual timing; sharing a phone screening does not pair the glasses.
Keep an offline fallback
Prepared native files remain available offline. Web is session-only: keep the page open and do not rely on offline reload or persistent history. Keep your own prepared screening available even after sending it to a friend.
