Add Closed Captions to Podcast

How can I add closed captions to a video podcast? Is there an rss tag you use? How do you do it?

I've now had time to do a bit more research. The page I linked to is out of date. The built in help for iTunes 12 says
'iTunes can play captioned and subtitled movies. You can purchase or rent movies that include closed captions from the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store also offers many captioned podcasts on iTunes U'
and
Use subtitles and alternative audio tracks
Some videos feature subtitles, closed captioning, and alternative audio tracks (for example, tracks in other languages).
To change audio and subtitle settings while a movie is playing, do either of the following:
Choose Controls > Audio & Subtitles > [option].
Move the pointer over the movie until the controls appear, click the Subtitles button , and choose an option.
So this applies to iTunes U podcasts: I don't know whether it could also apply to ordinary podcasts. Possibly so, but you would have to add the subtitles to the video file itself and I can't advise on how to do that.

Add Closed Captions to Button Audio?

Can you add closed captions to the audio file that's linked to a button? This is different than adding closed captions to the slide's audio file. I have a single slide with 7 "Next" buttons. Each next button includes a short audio file. I'd like to add closed captions to each of these audio files. But I can't seem to find a way to do it. I think the short answer to this question is "nope." But I wanted to check here first before I started re-doing the layout to break the slide into 7 separate slides. . . Thanks!

Hi there
Indeed the short answer is no. However, if you are using Captivate 4, nothing says you can't be creative! Why not have some standard Text Captions that are hidden until you click the Button? Then they could serve as the "Closed Captioning" for the Button audio? As each button is clicked, it hides the other button's "Closed Captions" and presents its own "Closed Caption".
Just musing out loud... Rick

Captivate 5 freezing issue when trying to add closed captions to video

Hi There --
I'm trying to add closed captions to a video (.f4v) I inserted as "Slide Video" on a slide in an Adobe Captivate 5 presentation. I click on the video to select it, go to the properties panel, select "edit video timing" and then click on the closed captions panel to try and add captions and then Captivate completely freezes and locks up so not only can I not add captions to the video, but I have to use Windows task manager to shut it down.
I've seen this process demonstrated in a Lynda.com tutorial, and the instructor didn't seem to have this issue with Captivate 5.
Any thoughts? Have other users found a work around at all? I mean, I know I could strip the audio from the video, and then attach it to the slide and do closed captions that way, but it would be way easier (and make a lot more sense) to add it directly to the video, especially since that's what you are supposed to be able to do.
I'm using Captivate 5 on Windows 7. I also have Captivate 5 on a personal Macintosh and haven't tried yet to see if the issue occurs on that platform as well. Has anyone else run into this issue? Sorry for the length -- this is my first forum posting, so I'm trying to provide as much info as possible.

Hi Dan,
Welcome to Adobe Captivate Forums.
You can try to add the closed captions to Video after deleting the preferences.
Follow these steps to delete the preferences
1. Close Captivate if its launched already
2. Navigate to C:\Users\<userName>\AppData\Local\Adobe
3. Locate a folder named "Captivate 5"
4. Delete the folder
5. Now Launch Captivate and try your workflow
Let us know if this solved the issue .

I need to know how to add closed captioning to a project Captivate 6

I need to know how to add closed captioning in a project in Adobe Captivate 6. It is a software demo single recording. I don't see where to go to create closed captions or change accessilbity preferences.

Hi there,
First thing that you need to do is go to Project > Skin editor > and check the box for Closed Captioning button in playbar.
A slide must have a slide audio or Slide Video to add CC notes in it.
Go to Windows > Slide notes, to view the slide notes panel, and click on + sign to add Closed captioning notes.
Please check this article to add CC in project: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/slide-notes.html

How do I add closed captioning

Operating systems OSX Tiger on a pre intel G5 MacPro, OSX Leopard on macbook pro, Final Cut Pro Studio 5, iMovie '09
In my videos I want to add the option of Closed Captioning for my audience. However, I don't wish to add continual subtitles. How can this be accomplished via the software I'm utilizing or is there an add on program that may accomplish this? Hopefully, without having to type the entire script.

Hi,
I know it's been a while since you posted your questions. I'm now wondering the same thing and if you've come up with a solution. Thank you!

How to add closed captioning in Czech language in Premiere Pro?

Hi,
I have subtitles translated to Czech language.
Copying them into closed captions blocks, result in showing some of the characters wrong.
I am stuck!!!
Any solution?

This is just unbelievable.
So much struggle with those closed captions. So many hours of try and error, ending up with more error than not.
I followed all the instructions to embed closed captions in 2 different QuickTime output files.
One video shows the captions, the other shows it inconsistently. When it does show the closed captions, it skips the first sentence's caption.
Also, I used 2 colors in order to distinguish between the speech of the 2 characters who talk in the video. However, the colors do not always display accordingly.
Very often it shows the shows only one color or the opposite to my specification.
For the problematic video out of the 2, I have been trying almost all of the format presets available.
Terrible !!!!!
Help!!!!

Free / open source Closed Captioning software?

I'd like to add closed captions to a feature film I produced. I understand the difference between closed captioning (which is embedded in the video and decoded by the TV) and DVD subtitles, and I would like to add real closed captioning.
Is there any free / open source Mac-compatible closed captioning software I can use to add captions to my feature film and create a .cc file for importing into DVD Studio Pro?
I'm more than comfortable with steep learning curves and X11 interfaces. If I have to use a text editor and timecodes, that's fine too. I just need that .cc file to add true closed captioning to my video, and I don't have the dough for commercial CC software.
Thanks!

my company does offer closed captioning as a service, Kelly is correct when he says the software is very expensive. as far as creating a .scc file with a text editor, i don't believe it is possible but i may be wrong. when opening a .scc or .cc file in a text editor, it does look like a bunch of "gobbledygook". but the .cap file that is used to create the .scc or .cc file looks a bit more manageable and could possibly be created without captioning software, again i may be wrong and have never attempted to do it. but say you could do it, you could save a bunch of money by creating the .cap file and giving it to someone who has the software to convert it to .scc or .cc. if that seems overwhelming and want to job it out, you could save some money by transcribing the video yourself which is a significant part of the cost when outsourcing. here is a sample of what a .cap file looks like:

How do you create closed captioning in Premiere 5.5?

I have a client that would like me to add closed captioning to his videos. I'm not sure how to do this. Could someone please tell me how?

Hi morenuts,

How to include closed captions in captivate?

How to include closed captions in Captivate? I found that the
option is available in Accessibility, but it is disabled. How to
enable it? Anyone can help me please?

Welcome to our community, prabuu77
Closed Captioning is not available in Captivate until you add
a sound file. The thought is that you add a sound file containing
audio narration. Then you may add Closed Captioning.
Once you add a sound file to a slide (tap the F6 key and you
may add a sound file) you should see a Speaker icon on the slide in
the Film Strip. Click the Speaker icon and the menu that appears
should list Closed Captioning.
Cheers... Rick

Closed Captioning for TV shows and more movies

I too hope that Apple will add closed captioning to more movies and TV shows. Especially for all it's customers who have been blasting songs into their ears from their ipods. The hearing impared population is growing!

Multiple closed captions with different audio

Hi there,
I have several buttons on a slide that each play different audio when clicked.
Is there any way I can add closed captions for each of these separately?
Thanks,
Mandy

If your REAL requirement here is to allow the learner to play a number of different audio clips with accompanying text transcript of the voiceover then there's a far easier method to achieve that resul.
Just add rollover captions and add the audio clips to the caption part of the object. Add the transcript of the audio clip as the text in the caption. Then when the learner places their mouse over the rollover hit area, the caption will appear, the audio clip will play, and the learner can view the transcript in the caption. As soon as they move their mouse off the hit area the clip will stop playing.

Closed captioning on lightboxes

How can I add closed captioning to a lightbox? It appears that only one set of slides notes can be added to a slide. The lightbox sits on top of a slide and is invisible in the output until activiated by an advanced action/execute advanced action. The lightbox does not have its own timeline!
Any suggestions?

CC as built in Captivate is only to help disabled users for slide audio, which is the reason that you cannot have more than one set of slide notes. For object audio it cannot be used, and a lightbox will be an object or multiple objects. You have to create custom text containers (captions or shapes) and make them visible if the user asks to have CC. That can be detected using the system variable cpCmndCC. That system variable is a Boolean, default value=0 (no CC), and when the CC button is activated it gets the value 1. You'll have to add that condition to your advanced action, which checks the value of that variable and shows the text container if cpCmndCC=1.

Closed Captioning with CS4 Premiere

I need
to create closed captioning in CS 4 Premiere. But don't get confused with subtitles; I am talking about the cignal that is encoded on line 21 of whatever goes on air, and viewers can watch at home.
I used to do it in AVID using a simple software that created JPEGs, but it won't work with Premiere.
I greatly appreciate any info. Thank you.

Though for En CS5, this is the start:
Closed captions basics
About closed captions
Closed captions provide assistance for the hearing impaired. Through captioning, the audio portion of a program appears as text superimposed over the image. Closed captions include dialogue, as well as descriptions of sounds in the program. Only the NTSC television standard accepts closed captions; PAL does not.
You create closed captions using a third-party captioning application, exporting them as source safe format (SCC) files. You then reference the SCC files by assigning them to clips in a timeline, using the Video Clip Properties panel. Closed captions will synchronize with the source timecode of the video clips you assign them to.
Note: Closed captions are not supported for Blu-ray or Flash projects.
Add closed captions to video
Closed captions that you add to your DVD project will only appear on the final DVD; they do not appear in Encore, in either the Monitor panel or Project Preview window.
1 In the Timeline Viewer, select the video clip to add closed captions to. If necessary, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) to select the video track separately from its audio track.
2 In the Video Clip Properties panel, click the Browse button for Field 1. Locate and select the SCC file that contains the closed captions, and then click Open.
Note: Moving the SCC file or the Encore project file will break the links to the closed captions. To reset the links, repeat these steps to select the video clip, click Browse in the Video Clip Properties panel, and reselect the SCC file.
That was from Page 149 in the CS5 PDF.
Hope that helps,
Hunt

Closed captioning with Premiere Pro CS5.5, exported to wmv/mp4

My employer suddenly has a push to be ADA compliant, so all videos going forward need to have captioning, and would prefer to have it closed captioned. I've read that you can add captions with Encore and output them to disc, but since all of the videos are posted online, nothing is burned to disc so that doesn't help. I also know you can use scc or mcc files to add closed captions to a broadcast stream, but since these aren't for broadcast, that doesn't help either.
All of this means is that I need to add closed captioning to online video only. What I'd like to know is this: Is there any way to add closed captioning to video that will be streamed online? Or, am I doomed to putting everything into lower thirds?
I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5 (I also have AE CS5.5).
Thanks

As a broadcast engineer, I would suspect, and it would make sense that online video files would also be encoded with EIA-608 and EIA-708 set forth by the Electronic Industries Alliance and monitored by the FCC ( Broadcast Standard ). This makes sense to me as all existing video programs which already comply with the EIA-608 and 708 standards would then, automatically play closed captioning when encoded to a video file for playback.
The FCC has recently required all online video to include Closed Captioning as per the Accessibility Act of 2010 ( FCC: MB Docket No. 11-154) Subpart 6 of this document appears to define that all devices which may playback video through the internet, must be able to support the CEA-708, or closed captioning for digital broadcast television. CEA-708 is a form of embedded data often referred to as metadata which is contained within the MPEG-2 stream.
Not to get too technical about MPEG streams, but in essence, even though your end up with a single file, there are traditionally 3 elementary streams of data contained within. Each one has a PID, or Program Identifier number which identifies the Video Stream, Audio 1 stream and Audio 2 Stream. Additional elementary streams can be added such as a data stream containing Closed Captioning- or whatever like Dolby Digital. The PID allows a Demultiplexer to split the streams appropriately for playback.
I would hope there is a program out there that would embed the scc or mcc file ( however they are produced ) possibly after you export the sequence to a file. One of my favoite and best kept secret long-term video websites out there is videohelp DOT com. there is a plethera of kewl software to do all weird things to video, maybe even add CC!
All this still doesn't help us with Premiere Pro though...
