Closed captioning on hulu plus for ipad

hi all - my fiance and i are doing a trial with hulu plus because we were told it had closed captioning on it (we are deaf and rely on it to understand what is being said on all TV shows). unfortunately this was not the case. we have been trying to figure it out how to make this work without any success. a friend has iPad 2, while we have iPad, so we're not sure if it's a major difference between the 2 of them. our friend who told us this piece of info is now out of the country on a business trip and hasn't been responsive so thought i'd try the discussion boards. thanks in advance for any help you can give!
cheers
Melinda

Your Ipad Mini getting Closed-Captioning on Hulu/Netflix?

Good morning everyone! I appreciate you stopping by in here and hope you've at least had some success with closed-captioning on your Ipad Mini.
As a severe hearing impaired person with a new Ipad Mini 2, I depend on closed-captioning (CC). Apparently after setting closed captioning on within accessibility control, either active Hulu or Netflix could not succeed with CC capability. Within the active Hulu/Netflix playing, the setting gear icon included the following: Unknown CC, Auto and Off. Strange as I had no problem on my iPhone and MBA; only on my Ipad Mini 2.
So, were you able to get CC going on your Ipad Mini?
Thanks for your help!

I haven't tried Hulu, but I get Netflix captions without having to do anything with Accessability Settings. After the Netflix movie loads, at the top right of the screen is a small, rectangular icon. That is the Language Options icon. Touch that, and you will will be able to set Subtitles (CC). Tapping the Subtitle language, a check mark appears - and Subtitles are ON. By tapping OFF, you can turn them off. If the small, rectangular icon does not appear at all, then the movie does not have Subtitles available.
Hope this helps>

How can I get AirPlay mirroring to fill widescreen? It works automatically for apps built for apple tv, but not Hulu Plus, for example, which letterboxes.

Airplay mirroring works great for apps (mostly video-related ones) with native Apple TV support, but for other apps - most notably Hulu Plus, it will only show letterbox on my 16:9 plasma TV. Again, my movies, tv shows and in-app videos like in CNN where there's a built-in AirPlay support will fill my widescreen, but apps that don't (Hulu Plus, games, photos) will not. Do I have to change the aspect ratio on the tv to 4:3? Will changing the resolution help.
How can I get mirroring to fill the entire tv screen, regardless of the app? Thanks.

Guys. Let's not get confused here.
-AirPlay mirroring feature 'mirrors' what's on your iPad 2 or above or your iPhone 4s on to your big TV via the Apple TV black box.
-Video apps that stream video (like native YouTube app) uses AirPlay which is different to mirroring.
-When you use the 'mirror' feature you get black bars all around (left/right & top/bottom)
-There are Games that use the full screen via the AirPlay mirroring feature and there are games that don't. It depends on the Game. For example download Asphalt 7:Heat and you'll notice you get widescreen display on the big TV but if you play Batman or Max Payne or others that don't support AirPlay mirroring then it you get black bars left and right.
-What's neat about the AirPlay mirror feature is that when you play Asphalt 7 with 'mirroring' set to on, the race is shown on the TV while your iPad shows something completely different (the route in real time with your rear view mirror)
-The Apple iPhoto app on your iPhone 4s or iPad 2/3 with AirPlay mirroring feature on you get a different experience. All of a sudden it goes full screen, and you are presented with their iPhoto logo.
-Those who have the first generation iPad don't have mirroring capabilities so the Asphalt 7:Heat games feature aren't available or the iPhoto app features. With iPad 1 you can only stream video or music or image slideshow (which all stream full screen). iPad 2 and iPad 3 can also do this but with the added benefit of 'mirorring' what is displayed on the iPad screen. Some apps take advantage of this, some don't.
There are no special setting on Apple TV to get rid of the black bars. You may be able to change the zoom settings on your actual big TV.
Hopefully this will clear this all up. I have the iPad 1 and recently upgraded to the new iPad 3. I also have an iPhone 4s. Same issues.
I don't think the AirPlay 'mirror' feature has developed fully yet. It has it's limitations but also has its advantages.

Captivate 7, closed captions in multiple languages for YouTube

Hi,
I'm creating a tutorial that is destined for YouTube. The tutorial has voice over-lay in English. I need to create closed captioning for several languages (e.g. Spanish, French, Portuguese) for YouTube. The Closed Captions will appear coincide with the voice over-lay on each slide, but the voice over-lay will always be in English.
Has anyone else ever done this? I've studied up on the Closed Captioning guidelines for YouTube. I can easily create the Closed Captioning for each language using their guidelines. However, I need to understand how to locate the exact timing of each slide such as shown in the example below.
Example:
3
00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:10,880
>> ALICE: Today we'll be teaching you how to make
our famous chocolate chip cookies!
Thank you for your help!

Captivate provides no really easy way to get these time indexes across the entire project. You can watch the time being shown at the bottom of the TOC if you want and make notes based on that. But the CC Slide Audio dialog only shows the timing for each individual slide unless you have a single audio clip spread over multiple slides.
So you might be in for a considerable amount of tedium.

Apple TV 2 - Can it display closed captions for the hearing impaired?

I have not seen a direct answer to this question anywhere, even on the web. If I buy a movie/TV show DVD, I get closed captions. If I rent or buy from iTunes or some other source, does this mean there are no closed captions to display, or does it mean that Apple TV 2 cannot display the closed captions? It is especially helpful with British shows. We use closed captions all the time for everything else. If it cannot be displayed, Apple TV 2 is largely useless for us. Note: many Boomers (we with the money to spend, not the 15 year olds!) have damaged hearing- they should be included in marketing.

The easiest way to find videos with closed captioning is to select Column Browser->Show Column Browser from the View menu in iTunes. Select a category and then look for titles displaying the CC icon. You can then rent them in iTunes or find them in the Menu in the ATV and rent them there.

How to change the closed caption display in cc 2014

Hi since the new CC update they the option to change the closed caption seems to be removed. Currently it is set to teletext level 1. But i would like to change this to CEA-708. In the older version of cc u could change this by clicking the program monitor settings but this option is no longer available.
The adobe site stats Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Closed Captioning "You can select the captioning standard for a caption clip loaded in the Source Monitor. In the Source Monitor panel pop-up menu, select Closed Captioning Display > Settings. For example, you can select CEA-608, CEA-708, CC1, CC2, and so on. You can toggle the Closed Caption display on and off."
But this button is now gone.
Any help?

The button icon you show above is for enabling/disabling closed captions display. To access the Program Monitor's Settings menu, click the wrench icon to the left of the Duration display.
If you want the Closed Captioning Display button back, click the plus sign in the monitor's bottom right corner and drag the button to the button bar.

HBOGO Airplay Closed Captions not working?

I have an iPad2 and an AppleTV3.
HBOGO Closed Captions works fine on my iPad. As soon as I airplay it to my AppleTV, however, the CC disappear even as I toggle them on and off on the iPad. While holding down on the AppleTV remote's center button usually brings up a subtitle menu on Netflix or movie Airplay's from my computer, doing so on HBOGO Airplaying does nothing.
Has anyone gotten HBOGO CC to work on iPad Airplaying?
Thanks!

To turn off the subtitles you have to go back to the show/movie you were watching NOT THE SETTING MENU. Then you click and hold the center button. A menu will pop up. Turn closed captions to OFF. Once you have done that press "menu" to exit back to the program. Happy watching! (From our 12 year old.)
Finally! Thanks, Loqwood. This worked like a charm.

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

Captivate 7 and adding Closed Captioning to my training *No Video just Voice Overs*

Afternoon Adobe Community,
I want to pose a question to all you experts out there on an easy way to display text from the slide notes as a form of closed captioning for my Voice Overs... I am aware that with video it has the functionality to add closed captioning but was hoping for a viable option to do this for pre-recorded audio that I have the transcript in the slide notes.
This may not be possible but figured I would give it a shot.
Thanks!

Hi there,
To convert Slide notes as closed captions, Please check the 'Audio CC' checkbox present in the slide notes panel (Audio should be present in the slide )
This will convert all the marked Slide notes as closed captions automatically. You can synch the converted closed captions with audio from the Edit>Audio>Closed captions dialog.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

Problem with Closed Captioning

I'm using Cp 5.5. I have a click box that's set to Open Url or file. I have selected the options to open the new url in a new window, and I've de-selected the checkbox to Continue playing the project. So when the user clicks the click box, a new window opens with the linked-to web page, and the main project, including the audio, pauses. So far, so good. But the problem is with the closed captioning. If the closed captioning is turned on, it acts as if the audio has not paused (even though it has), and when the audio would have finished, the closed captioning goes away. When the user returns to the main project and clicks the Play/Pause button in the playbar, the audio picks up where it paused, but the closed captioning has already disappeared for that slide.
Is this a bug? Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thanks for any insights.
Mister C.

There have previously been some discussions here and on other forums on CC issues and my understanding is:
1) the SD STB (QIP2500) does not support CC. What you are seeing is your TV interpreting the CC data, not the STB. So if something is being dropped, it is the TV doing it, not the STB, or maybe the characters really are not there.
2) The HD STBs do support CC. I have seen some complaints here and on other forums about the text not remaining on the screen long enough; I do not use CC myself, but I have turned it on and off a number of times, and my HD DVR seems to leave it up a reasonable amount of time, but that is just my impression.
There is no software upgrade available for now that I know of. There is supposed to be a new level later this year with new functions and fixes, I have no idea whether there is going to be anything in it that would address your CC issues.
Hope this maybe helps a little bit.

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.

IMovie for iPad - Adding Closed Captions

I'm trying to add closed captions to a video of a man singing in a foreign language. Either I am completely inept, or it's not possible. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I understand the problem.
There are two different video features in Cp5.
1. FLV / F4V Object video: Menu (Insert > FLV/F4V file...)
2. Slide Video - Here the video will be synched to your slides automatically while playing: Menu (Insert > Slide Video), Menu (Video > Insert Slide Video)
When you drag drop, it is this second feature (new one in Cp5) which is getting invoked, and this supports closed captioning.
You can also do it though menu as (2) above.
This help page has more info on when to use which and more : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WS3d71e636065aa5be30a524a9126a2e3ba49-8000. html

Is hulu plus the only way to see captions?

I am a deaf user who is severely disappointed.
Don't get me wrong, I do love my ipad for reading books, but I have yet to see any TV or video from it like other people can do. I need captions and I am not seeing them anywhere. I'm able to watch captioned shows on hulu.com on my desktop computer, but we do not get the basic hulu.com on the ipad.
Is my only option to pay 9.99/mo or whatever it costs now, for hulu plus?

no answer???
