Close Captions

I recently sent a video out to contractor to get closed captions. Unfortunately he used the 708 format instead of the 608. Since this project is going on to a DVD and needs to be an .scc file, 708 isn't going to work. So what I need to do is somehow change the caption stream in Premiere Pro from 708 to 608. Is there any way to do this? Or do I have to create new captions and spend my time copying and pasting while syncing up the times?

I'm sorry to hear the format you were given is not right. With Premiere Pro, you cannot create CEA-608 out of CEA-708 captions. You can create the captions from scratch with PPRO, but you'll have to copy/ paste.

  • Front Row & DVD close captioning

    Will Front Row allow use of close captioning for dvds that do not have subtitles?

    I tried this with .srt and Quicktime .txt files, and with movies in .m4v and .avi format. I tried them in iTunes, Quicktime Player, and Front Row. In none of them did the subtitles show up by putting them in the same folder. I downloaded what seems to be the SRT import bundle you're referring to from here:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/25631
    I've also tried opening the videos in Quicktime Pro and adding the text track, but then I can't seem to toggle it on and off in iTunes or Front Row. If I open it in Quicktime Player, I can toggle subtitles on and off by going to the Movie Properties and toggling the checkbox for the Text Track, but it seems like I should be able to get it to actually recognize that text track as a track for subtitles/CC.
    I'm sorry if this is moving a bit away from the original question about DVDs and more into the arena of closed captioning for video files in general; I'll create a new thread if need be.

  • Question: Inserting Close Captioning is not available...Why?

    I will need to add Accessibility and close captioning support. I have checked this off in the Project settings and migrated to slide one properties.
    Click on Accessibility and the panel defaults to three tabs. The directions I am seeing suggest text in this field will be read by an appropriate screen reader. However why is close caption and slide text buttons grey?

    Hi there
    Closed Captioning will only be available if you have audio on the slide. Do you have audio?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Close Captions can't see audio from video file

    Trying to close caption a video file using Slide Notes in Captivate 5.  Inserted Video via Insert>Slide Video,  added notes via Slide Notes and checked off cc box.  When I go to Audio dialog (Audio > Record > to Slide), my notes show up only as notes, the captions tab is empty.   No audio is displayed for the slide (because it is expecting me to record or import some audio).
    From what I've read, this audio dialog box is where I synch my slide notes as captions, but I can't see any audio or video synch reference at all -- even duration / frame count would work.
    Do I need to import a separate mp3 version of the movie to synch to?
    Any suggestions?

    I figured it out - typical obvious error on my part.   If I'm captioning a MOVIE, I need to adjust the timing via the Video tab, not the audio tab.

  • How to create Chinese Close Captioning in Premiere Pro CC?

    I am using an English version Premier Pro CC, the Chinese character will not display on screen when created in the caption window. Do I need a Chinese version of Premiere Pro for creating Chinese close captioning?

    Hello,
    Have you read through this article yet? Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Importing still images
    Seems like the section at the end of the article could be helpful
    Resizing imported images
    Imported images usually have a higher resolution than imported videos, so they appear cropped when viewed on the Timeline in Premiere Pro.
    You can individually adjust the scale of the clips to match the sequence frame size. Or you can use the Set to Frame Size command to quickly resize the image.
    When you use the Set To Frame Size command, the native pixel resolution of the image is preserved, letting you see the sharpest resolution when you zoom in on an image.
    Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) an image in a Timeline.
    You can select multiple images in the Timeline at once by pressing Shift and clicking the images.
    Select Set To Frame Size.
    When you select the Set To Frame Size command, the Scale To Frame Size setting is toggled off for improved playback performance.
    Please let us know if this does the trick or if you need further help.

  • CP5: Close Captions example needed

    I'm testing Captivate 5 and stuck with Close Captions. Because of that I am using the German version of Captivate, I suffer from some differences in what I learn from the German documentation and system behaviour.
    As far as I have understood, the Close Caption texts will be shown in the presentation, more or less as an addition to the slide audio in case of that the project is presented without audio equipment. And therefore I have found settings for font and background colour and so on - but whatever I try, nothin appears at the screen.
    Maybe it would help me to see an example of how the Close Caption texts should be shown in the presentation. So I would appreciate a link to a screen shot that shows the result and to get some information on what beginners mostly will make the wrong way with CC (how to enter and maintain CC texts is shown in several blogs).

    Susan-
    To get closed caption to appear normally follow these steps:
    1. Create the first slide blank. (Slide 1)
    2. Set the slide 1 time duration to 0.1 sec
    3. Click on Project/Advanced Actions  then Type in the Action name (eg. CC) Select action/assign
    4. Select the variable "cpCmndcc". After the "with" select "literal" and replace the box with "1" (no quotes) Save this step and close.
    5. Click on the slide 2 (usually the title slide). Click on Properties
    6. Under Action, On Enter: select Execute Advanced actions
    7. Script CC (I named mine CC1)
    8. Close captions appear for all slides in the File/Preview/Project mode or after published. CC's will not appear during play mode.
    I hope this helps,

  • Capturing a Close Captioned master

    I apologise if this issue is already posted somewhere that I couldn't find. But I am trying to capture a closed captioned master into Final Cut Pro 5. When I print to beta sp a don't see the close caption but I can see the the VBI line 21 in the captured clip? Am I missing something? My thought is that the cc would enter and exit with the video line. I contacted support and he said that he hadn't been trained in this topic, which surprises me as I thought this would be a popular issue if working in broadcast.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Stever

    I'm not sure this is the same case, but someone in Big D had what sounds like the same problem. All I could find was MacCaption <http://www.ccaption.com/cap_softwaremac.shtml> , which looked like it might do the job (for $6000), but here is what he did, may be a clue buried in there:
    Don't leave me hangin', man. What's the workaround? Interns? I may have
    someone with the same problem someday.
    Ah. Well. You won't believe how we did it. Our master was on DigiBeta and
    we didn't want to bump down to SP, so we took the SP master with the CC
    encoding that <person X> us and captured it into the Avid, then
    captured the Digi unrecompressed, then put one over the other on a time line
    and masked out all but line 21 in an overlay. Simple, but it worked. We
    then re-recorded it onto a new Digi master and we had the best of both
    worlds: CC with out down converting the master to SP.
    The hilarious thing is that the $6K software NEEDS EXACTLY THE SAME
    PROCESS!!!! It takes the .cc or .scc file and converts it into black video
    with the line 21 data encoded, then you lay it over your program on the
    timeline and do the same masking trick. All for $6K.
    Bunch of rubbish.
    As to interns, they're useful for other purposes.
    I could put you in contact with this feller - email me if you think it would help. Don't ask me, over my head! Also, may require an Avid as described.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro 6 CS Close Captions using Pro 6 CC?

    I have Adobe Premiere Pro 6 CS and need to create Close Captions for a production I'm doing.
    I know I can't create the Captions on Pro 6 CS but can I create them in Pro 6 CC and import them into the production on the CS side?

    Here is a thread that discusses closed captioning functionality and the split between legacy PPRO CS 6.0 and the online CC version at that time -- Premiere Pro CC version 7.01.
    Premiere Pro CS6 - Closed Captioning
    Projects created from on version of PPRO should migrate with no problems to the next version. Closed captions can be added to any project you open, provided the application version you are using supports creating closed captions.
    I suggest you work with one version of PPRO to keep things simple.

  • Close Captioning in Adobe Connect?

    What is the process for close captioning in AC? How does it work? I am using version 9. I found the page on Adobe site to download the pod at http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/feature-details/closed-captioning.html. What next?
    Thanks.

    The key is that you need someone to provide the captioning.
    I can tell you what we do. We use Caption Colorado to provide the actual captioning during the event.
    Share Pod - Share document - Upload the Caption Pod
    Under configuation, we choose Caption Colorado and use the Meeting ID we get from them after we schedule the captioning.

  • Close Captioning on Premiere CC

    Yesterday I had to get a tape out for delivery. I came back to the shop and found my online editor with his head is his hands while my show was going to tape.  The image was skipping tons of frames.
    Close capationing was working though. I had just moved a new system into online, all our preliminary tests went great and this was not supposed to be happening. We are using a Black Magic Design i/o.
    I had made sure all the settings were correct. Unrendered timelines played fine, put the close captioning file on the time line and playback would stutter. We rendered the time line and we were getting two skip frames per 5 minute segment.
    My online editor tried to go to tape and was at his wits end. That is when i threw everything I had read online out the window and tried something completely new.
    I render the timeline (which was yellow lined) without the captioning present. Like i said it was playing fine without the captioning so i am not sure why i thought of this. I then added the close captioning to the timeline.
    The time line now went from green to yellow again but the project now played flawlessly and we got our tape out in time.
    Maybe this is how you are supposed to do it and I missed something. I am posting this in case it helps someone get threw their day with a lttle less stress.

    Hi,
    Thanks for providing your workarounds.
    I wanted to see if I can get some more details about your setup.
    - What OS/system specs
    - What Blackmagic card and driver version
    - What format are you using
    - What format are your Closed Caption files? MCC, SCC, ect...
    - What deck are you going out to? SDI?
    Thanks for your time. This info will be helpful trying to determine your problem.

  • How do I know if a movie or TV show is close-captioned before I buy?

    I just bought a TV show that I had already seen on cable. It was close-captioned. So I bought it on iTunes only to find out that it is not close-captioned.
    I'm nearly deaf, and don't want to make the same mistake again, but I haven't been able to find a symbol or notation indicating such before buying, and the 'HELP' doc doesn't.
    Apple has been very sensitive to varying abilities with Universal Access, etc., and standard listings elsewhere indicate whether or not something is close-captioned, so I'm puzzled. Am I missing something?

    iTunes Store: About closed captioning
    You should see the CC trademark under the description.

    I can relate!

  • We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 vid

    We are trying to close caption our telecasts. We get the captioning files done out of house, pull them back into Premiere, and then embed them. The TV station requires .mxf files with the file embedded as a 708 stream, to play on their Grass Valley K2 video servers. We have tried multiple scenarios and cannot get the captions to display.
    Whenever I export, it becomes a 608 stream, and will not play on their servers.

    Hello there,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem. Thank you for taking the time to post here.
    Here are some questions:
    1. What version of PPRO are you using? MAC or WIN?
    2. Is the caption data you are embedding a 708 caption stream?
    3. When you re-import the MXF with captioning embedded back into PPRO, does it show 708 closed captions in PPRO?
    PPRO will embed 708 caption streams to MXF -- I just did this, re-imported the embedded MXF to PPRO, and I see the captions in the MXF.
    If you could share one of your files with me, I could take a look.
    Take care and thanks again,
    CM

  • Flash Streaming Video with Close Captioning

    Hello,
    I am trying to create streaming video using flash. I've
    already created the video and encoded as a FLV file.
    Two questions:
    1. I am currently hosting my streaming video on
    Playstream.com. How do I incorporate this video such that when a
    user views the content he/she will see a buffer bar loading as the
    video plays? A good example is on YouTube.com.
    2. I've aready created my close caption file and have it in
    xml format. How do I sync my close captioned file with the flash
    video?
    Thanks in advance.
    mdawg

    I don't know too much about how to capture both video and
    aplication monitoring moves at the same time.
    I do however want to warn you about a possible pitfall of
    making the presenter's video by recording with a digital cammera in
    front of a PC or TV monitor screen.
    The video from a monitor screen, taken with a digital camera
    comes out full of glitches and flashes. This is present the video
    in the monitor, and those used by the recording digital camera to
    capture the scenes. It's a synchronization problem and makes the
    video very unconfortable to watch.
    A wrokaround for this requires expensive and hard to come by
    equipment. To work around this, I would suggest to record a video
    of the presenter first. Have him or her read the script while
    standing or sitting in front of a fixed colored background. This
    helps to avoid distractions to the viewer.
    Review, edit and decide how you like the presentation video
    first. Create the video file, and then you can play it in a 2x2
    window on your PC monitor.
    Here is where my expertise stops.
    I don't know how or if you can then record the screen while
    manipulating and recording your application's CAPTIVATE file. Maybe
    it's possible to capture both windows at the same time side by
    side, but my point is that you need to avoid recording with a
    digital camera from a video monitor, it just doesn't look good.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • Close Captioning//Adobe not exporting on line 21

    Hello,
    My company is attempting to trouble shoot some close captioning issues that seem to occur within Adobe premiere. All source material captioning resides on line 21 (source tape, Quicktime files). We are exporting MXF OP1as files for the playback server through media encoder. Our engineer can look on a scope at the finished file and show us that the captioning is now on line 20 (odd) . We have attempted to run the original capture files (MOV) through mac caption to attach them to line 21. Ill import the SCC files and place them on top of my video, and still the media encoder export moves the captioning to line 20. Our workflow mandates that that caption stay on line 21. The export settings are 720x486//29.97//upper field first.  We are using Adobe Premiere CC 8.1
    We have a call into adobe support but so far they have not been able to resolve this issue. Figured id post to the forums and see if anyone has any ideas.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Richard,
    Update @ Richard M Knight- If you're referring to Lower field first.....The Codec we are using IMX 30 NTSC will not allow the field to be changed in media encoder. Although i can set the field under timeline settings, once its set to the encoder it is not  changeable setting, even when creating a preset. Good idea, but we already tried that one in house
