508 Closed Captioning Font size

Hello,
How do you change the font size in Closed Captioning?
Currently my 508 CC feature is worthless unless folks are able to
read the text. It looks like a 6pt or at the most an 8pt font.
Thank you for any help on this.

Closed caption font size

I guess asking for beautiful fonts like those avaiable on DirecTV (as early as 3 years ago) is too much. Just a simple request, please please solve the issue that all fonts are stretched wide on the new 1.9 system, on a 16:9 TV.
Even with small font size, the characters are so stretched that they take almost 1/4 of the screen, and they do look UGLY. And why it's always all capitals?

Contrasting the background with the text is key for people with visual impairments. Also making the text large enough to read while maintaining space on the canvas is always a challenge. Displaying 2-3 lines of text at a large font works well. Also, if you want to reposition the CC panel, I've got a widget you can try here:

Captivate 7 Closed Captioning Font

Hi all,
I'm using the latest version of Captivate 7 and I've set my closed captioning font to Myriad Pro. It looks perfect on my computer, but appears as Times New Roman on my client's computers. How can this be?

In other places it is converted to an image before publishing, for dynamic text it happens on runtime, and that is probably the cause.

Font size caption

I've just updated my iPhoto and now when I print a contact sheet with captions I cannot enlarge the font size. I have set the caption size to "large" in the settings but you need a magnifying glass to see anything. This is ridiculous. Where can I change the Caption Font size?

Change default font & default font size

As far as I can make out it's not possible to reset the default font or font size in LC Designer ES 8.2........or is it, & if so, how?
I found this page re LC ES3, but it doesn't seem to apply to earlier versions.
TIA

Hi,
Designer uses predefined objects which are stored as *.xfo files unser your user account.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Designer\10.0\DE\Objects\Standard
You can open such files with any simple text editor and modify them.
For example, you open the NumericEdif.xfo in your editor.
Them you'll see an XML file where you'll find the information for the typeface and the size.
<field name="NumerischesFeld" y="0mm" x="0mm" w="67.056mm" h="9mm">
               <ui>
                  <numericEdit>
                     <border>
                        <edge stroke="lowered"/>
                     </border>
                     <margin/>
                  </numericEdit>
               </ui>
               <font size="10pt" typeface="Arial"/>
               <margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
               <para vAlign="middle"/>
               <value>
                  <float/>
               </value>
               <caption reserve="30.0736mm">
                  <font size="10pt" typeface="Arial"/>
                  <para vAlign="middle"/>
                  <value>
                     <text>Numerisches Feld</text>
                  </value>
               </caption>
            </field>
Just change the name of the typeface and the size in the way you like and save the file.
You don't need to restart Designer, the next tiome you choose the nemueric field, it's created with the new font settings.
<field name="NumerischesFeld" y="0mm" x="0mm" w="67.056mm" h="9mm">
               <ui>
                  <numericEdit>

                        <edge stroke="lowered"/>
                     </border>
                     <margin/>
                  </numericEdit>
               </ui>
               
               <font size="12pt" typeface="Adobe Text Pro"/>
               <margin topInset="1mm" bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"/>
               <para vAlign="middle"/>
               <value>
                  <float/>
               </value>
               <caption reserve="30.0736mm">
                  
                  <font size="12pt" typeface="Adobe Text Pro"/>
                  <para vAlign="middle"/>
                  <value>
                     <text>Numerisches Feld</text>
                  </value>

Adobe Captivate 7: Change font size of imported localized closed captions

I'm attempting to use the export/import captions functionality in Captivate 7 and when I import the text, the imported Japanese characters are HUGE. The font in the imported Word doc aren't that big and I'm unsure how to adjust the imported closed captions to they display correctly. As you can see below, the characters are way too big. I've tried adjusting the font size in the CC Project Settings window, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
Current CC settings:

Lilybiri-
Thank you for your helpful Adobe Captivate postings... Your material is better than Adobe's online help because you use visual screen shots and videos. Also you explain how to find comands in the Captivate menu.
Adobe should hire you!

PSE4-change font size in captions

Does anyone know what file to change the font size for captions? I am really surprised this isn't an option.
I also had the problem of the caption not working in slide shows with a version set. Even tried retyping the caption on the top picture, still didn't work. Ended up deleting the version set and/or creating a copy of the picture.

>> I can't find an option to modify the font size.
I think that it was a double click within the text box that gave me the choices to modify the font size, color, style which appeared on the right hand side of the slide show editor screen (below the extras like graphics or frames).
There might also be a menu choice for editing text but I am not sure.
>tried the retyping of the caption in each picture and it didn't work consistently.
I dont remember that not working - what happened ?
All I can think of is that font sizes too large for the text box can appear to be "nothing".

Increasing font size / captions of pictures in slideshow view

Hello,
Is there any way to make the caption / font, that appears below the pictures while viewing the individual pictures in a slideshow, larger? I can change the font size using the inspector on the static iWeb page, but when I publish to the website and view it online, the captions below the pictures (in slideshow) are still small / hard to read?
Thanks and sorry if this is a repost...I can't seem to find an answer to this question.

How to increase font size in captions

Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the font and size of the captions?
Thanks

Michelle,
This subject came up yesterday:
Kenneth Liffmann, "HOW DO I : Add caption to photos; show captions when photo prints" #1, 14 Jan 2007 12:44 pm
1. The output of the text tool is tied, to a greater or lesser degree, to the resolution of the image. It is advisable to have the image resolution in the 240-300px/in range for printing. Go to Image>resize>image size
2. You can add text to appear on the picture itself using the text tool. When you type the text, it will be on its own layer. You may select font& font size after highlighting the text, just as you would in a conventional word processing program. In addition, you can warp the text - Layer>type>warp text
3. If you want the product description to appear below the picture against a neutral background rather than being superimposed on the picture itself, you can do that as I outlined in my post in yesterday's thread referenced above.
Please let us know how you make out and feel free to repost.

Font size issue in caption name of screen in syclo

Hi,
I am working on a syclo agentry project.
We have many screens in my application and we are using Motorola ET1 device with android version 4.1.1.
The issue is that when we are keeping the deivce in landscape view the caption name of the screen is getting half cropped from bottom.
For reference i have put one screenshot below.
Also it is coming just fine in portrait view.
Is there any way that the font size can be minimized or some configuration change in application so that this issue can be resolved.
Thanks,
Star

I tested on a device here and see the same issue using 6.0.40.1. I would consider this a bug and open an issue with support so they can escalate and have it corrected. It appears to be device/os version specific as I don't see the issue on Android 2.3.4 but I do see it on Android 4.1.1 and Android 4.4.2.
I am also going to open an issue with Engineering on this as well.

Closed Captions not 508 Compliant!

In order to be Section 508 compliant – required by government (US) contracts – I need to be able to keep the closed caption on the screen until the user clicks or performs the requested task or indicates that they are done with that slide. Right now all I get is Closed Captions while the audio is playing. I know that I can add silence at the end of audio clips but the closed captions just blanks out when the audio clip is over. It is not physically possible for the hearing impaired to watch the action on the screen (how to use software for instance) and read closed captions at the same time, therefore the closed caption needs to remain “on” for the rest of the slide – or at least that should be an option. Without this option the closed captions and are useless for functional closed captioning and can’t be made Government (US) Section 508 compliant.
Does anyone have a work-around for this? We have Government contracts coming up and may have to get off Captivate if I can’t make this work!

I am unsure as to the actual answer, however, the "skin" that include the Closed Captions is actually an swf. The point of publishing to HTML is because some devices (ie I-pad) cant play the swf. So the HTML version skips the swf- which of course includes the "skin".
That said, I think the Table of Contents works in HTML, so maybe I am incorrect in sayin the "skin" is an swf. Maybe only the "playbar" is an swf. But it seems the CC is still related to the playbar.
If anyone knows how to use the built-in Closed Caption feature with HTML, I would LOVE to hear it. But I am suspecting the CCs will have to be done by hand.

Closed Captions - Appalling support - Section 508 for video non-existent.

Adobe premiere pro has horrific support for closed captions. I find it quite appalling that the page on captions is severely outdated and there is no commitment to nor desire to support, provide, or even assist with captioning beyond the poorly designed and non-intuitive caption editor which takes an Adobe Scientist to use. Adobe should be ashamed. There is no delay adding other functions to Premiere and the other CC products, but no urgency or desire to remotely address accessibility.
Are there any real plans other than the same unfulfilled promise over the past 12 months to provide real functionality, or we will continue to have to use third party applications for this?
Page reference: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Closed Captioning

Hi WarithNiallah,
First of all, Premiere Pro's closed captioning feature is not intended to be a replacement for closed captioning applications. The feature's intent is to only be able to edit them. I'm sorry that your expectation is that you could do all of your closed captioning work within Premiere Pro. If that is what you really want engineering to focus on, let them know here: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
I don't see any errors on the actual documentation per se, but if you do see any please let us know and we'll fix that.
Thanks,
Kevin

DVD Player randomly quits when using closed captioning

I have been experiencing this issue on two different 10.4.11 machines, both intel. A MBPro and a Mini.
The DVD Player normally works fine, disc after disc, unless I turn on closed captions (not subtitles, but similar), then the DVD Player will quit randomly every 1-3 discs. I have done all the permission fixes and usual cache deletions, but nothing seems to work. I have also deleted preferences and plists on both machines.
The crash log is usually cryptic, and all I can discern is that thread "one" crashed.
Can anyone else reproduce this issue, or have other suggestions?

Hi,
Try a different font... here's how: Customizing the look of closed captioning text
You can change the font and color of closed captioning text. You can also change the color and transparency of the closed captioning box for optimal viewing when the captions are displayed over the video.
Choose DVD Player > Preferences, and then click Windows.
In the Closed Captioned section, click the Text color button and select a color to use for text.
Click the Background color button and select a contrasting background color.
Drag the transparency slider to the right (lighter) or to the left (darker).
Choose a font from the Font pop-up menu.
You can customize the font size as well, but the size setting only applies to closed captioning in a separate window.

Editing the properties of the closed captioning area.

Is there a way to edit the properties of the closed captioning (CC) area. I mean besides the number of lines and font type and size.
For instance in a responsive design project the closed captioning runs under the X to close the CC window in the phone view.
I know if they have a phone why would they want to see the CC, but someone has asked us to see about fixing that.

The file extension does not matter. It is an .html file. I put it right after the existing Style:
<style type="text/css">#initialLoading{background:url(assets/htmlimages/loader.gif) no-repeat center center;background-color:#ffffff;position:absolute;margin:auto;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom :0;z-index:10010;}</style>
<style>
@media screen and (max-width: 300px) {
#ccClose {
display:none;
</style>
Also you might want to change the max-width to 400 or something. You can test in the broswer and then resizing until you hit the threshhold.

Closed captions + SDH made a mess by Apple TV 6.0. Any fixes?

We've found that the Apple TV 6.0 software update made a mess of closed captions + SDH . It suddenly changed the size and color and font on its own. To make things worse, when we try to send them right with the new customizable closed caption style settings, we can't make them look like they did before the 6.0 software update. The customizable choices are too small, too large, or much too large than they were before.

The movies are not orphaned. There is a flaw in the latest version. There are several posts on this issue. Actually be happy they are on AppleTV. Several of us have purchased through iTunes. We sync, but when the computer loses the link with ATV requiring a new code. When the code is entered it re-syncs itunes and ATV, but you lose the movies that were transferred to ATV requiring you to move movies back to ATV.
They are probably working on a fix.
