screenplay
I'm doing a screenplay and there are several abbreviations I don't understand. SOB I want to say is subtitle or text and not a voice cue, but I can't find anything that would confirm this. Any ideas?
The problem abbreviations are SOB, LOC, and OFF (and IMG, which is image). It seems to me LOC (locución) is V.O. for voice-over and OFF is O.S. for off-screen.

Sobreimpresión (Caption)
