Closed captioning question

I imported a ppt presentation to a project and added an audio file as the background. Can i put closed captioning on the slides? Captivate isn't letting me do that.

Hi There,
Once you have the audio in your Project then you can Insert the Closed Captioning in it. Go to Window>Slide Notes>Closed Captioning. Click on the '+' sign to add the Closed Captioning.

  • New to OSMF - have several questions (closed captions, tutorial, etc), please help!

    Hello,
    I came across OSMF this week and am extremely curious to learn more about this for my job and personal work/knowledge. If any of these questions could be answered I will be ever-so grateful!! Thank you.
    1) Anyone know of or have any information or tutorials or plug-ins on how to make OSMF videos work with closed captions for single or a multi-video player gallery for each video? (captions - this is very important for my job)
    2) Does anyone know of any good and easy to understand (I'm mid-level in AS3) tutorials and/or source files on how to build an OSMF player preferably in Flash?
    3) I know Flash Builder (Flex) some, but am better with Flash (CS4/5), but a lot of what I see is for Flex... what is preferred for OSMF - Flex or Flash or it doesn't matter?
    4) I searched Amazon.com, but couldn't find - are there any books for OSMF?
    Sorry I posed this in Developers also, but unsure which is appropriate for my questions. Thank you, again.

    Hi, Duane!
    This may help with your questions re: captions..
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=Captions
    As for tutorials, we've got some links to ones created by members of the community here:
    http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/osmf.adobe/index.php?title=osmf.adobe:Community_Port al
    And, as far as OSMF books, there aren't any third-party ones of which I'm aware. You can download a PDF of Adobe's OSMF Dev Guide here (the PDF link is at the upper right):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/OSMF/1.0/Dev/index.html
    Or, you can view the very same content in topic-by-topic form at the wiki in the links above.
    Best of luck with your endeavors!

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Closed Captioning/Hardcoding question

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the closed captioning that final cut 7 now allows. I'm using movcaptioner to create SCC files to import into final cut for closed captioning of a broadcast television series. However, this show is also to be broadcast with another language track besides english with hardcoded english subtitles. Is there any way to do this or any other application if I can't do it in final cut? It would be extremely beneficial to use the closed captioning as the english language subtitles for the foreign language version.
    Thanks

    If I understand your question, you want to re-use your SCC file.
    My subtitle prep tool can do so (or even generate the .SCC)
    http://www.videotoolshed.com/?page=products&pID=12
    Then output to XML and have your subtitles as text generators in FCP.
    Mind you, subtitling is very different from CC, so there will be some work.
    (subtitles have two lines, while CC can go up to 4
    Also, it's uncommon for subtitles to jump all over the screen.
    There is a free demo, do toy with it.

  • Question about closed captioning

    Hello all,
    I have a quick question about closed captioning. I've output broadcast shows to Mini-DV which has been transferred to BETA SP with no problems. Another station requires the BETA tapes with closed captioning on them. The company doing the captioning has requested that the tapes be originals that have never been dubbed to BETA. Does it make a difference? Or can the same DV tapes I supplied the first station still be used?
    Thanks in advance...

    Thrillcat's got it.
    You might want to ask for a captioned DV (more likely DVCam) dub as well, so you can have the CC on any dubs you do. DV and variants store CC in a mysterious place called "VAUX data", and as long as the deck respects it (many mini-DV decks don't) the CC will be passed through FireWire. You can FireWire it back into FCP and it will stay with the program.
    If you're doing the above ask if the video itself is a digital DV clone. That may not be the normal case, as standard old-fashioned Line 21 is normally inserted in an analogish way.
    Oliver, your posts still don't make it clear if DV is the best format you can output. That should be the major factor in what you give them. If you are equipped to output to BetaSP, DVCPro50, etc. while avoiding a DV compression, your program will thank you.

  • Closed Captioning not showing up at specified In / Out points

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded to a trial of 7.2.1 (I'm a *long* time CS user) and am having an issue with closed captioning that's got me pulling my hair out. Upon importing a .scc file and inspecting it in the captions tab, I have all the captions I'm expecting at the proper timecodes (for example if I look up the start of a line in the program window the start timecode matches the "In" timecode listed in the Captions tab).
    However upon playing the timeline and turning on Closed Caption display - the captions are not displaying (nor disappearing) at the in/out timecodes listed in the caption tab. They're showing up (roughly) seven seconds later at the beginning of the program, and over 11 seconds late by the end of the program.
    Does anyone have the foggiest idea how to resolve this? I guess it's possible it's just a player issue and the issue will correct itself on output, but that's not really comforting. I could do what I need on this job by renewing my license for some other software, but Premiere would be a more versitile use of my limited software upgrade budget - but only if it can actually do the job properly.

    Hi Mark and monstremoi,
    With all the fiddling I've been doing in raw captioning files the fact that I didn't just try increasing the hight of the track is completely rediculous. Lo and behold, there are the handles! Once I could actually see the captions in the track I noticed something interesting - that the .scc and .xml files are being interpreted quite differently.
    If I take the same caption source file and output one xml and one scc and lay them on top of each other, this is what it looks like:
    The XML is starting immediately at timecode 0, even though the first start time should be 4:06 (weirdly the scc is actually starting at the right time code in this test, something it's refused to do previously).
    If I manually set the offset of the first caption by forwarding the xml caption track to 4:06 we get this:
    *This* XML track seems to play out synchronous with the program albeit with some odd formatting (it doesn't appear to be reading any of the font positioning information from the timed text file, it's just playing everything top frame, justified left.
    Already though up above you can see though that although the SCC stars at the right timecode, it's starting to drift out of sync less than 30 seconds in - which doesn't make any sense when both have been output from the same 29.97 timebase source.
    Monstremoi - to answer you questions, no I've not done any captioning work in premiere pro previously. I actually didn't even know it was a feature until I read about the improvements in CC. Most of our captioning files come from Annotation Edit (zeitanker.com). If they're not prepared in AnnotationEdit / AnnotationTranscriber, we usually do some conversion work through it before outputting (usually to set offsets or whatever if we're adding presentation cards or something).
    Happy to send you files to pull apart - although I'd rather not post them as a forum d/l link. Do you have an e-mail I can send them to?

  • What happens to the closed captions when you delete a video or audio from a slide? (Captivate 7)

    This might be a silly question but ...
    I have a presentation with audio voiceover on every slide and videos on some. I have entered closed captioning for all of them. This is a pretty time consuming job.
    What happens if I run into a problem with a video or audio clip and need to replace it? If I delete that audio or video from the slide, what happens to all the closed captioning that you added to it? I'm assuming it's deleted when you delete it from the slide.
    If I export the captions before deleting the audio/video file, can I then reimport them when I replace the audio/video file with a fixed version?
    Thanks for any clarification.

    Hi there,
    You can have CC with Slide audio and Multi Slide video in Captivate.
    If you will delete the slide audio or Multi slide Video, then CC will get disabled on that slide, but same CC text will retain there as Slide notes.
    Now, once you will re insert the audio or multi slide video you can mark that slide notes as CC again, or can have new CC.
    So, even after deleting the audio and multi slide video, CC will not be deleted.
    check following section in Captivate:
    Thanks.

  • Embedded closed captions not viewable

    I have read most of the threads on embedded closed captions in this forum and after experiencing similar problems I have come to the conclusion that embedding captions in QT .mov files is not properly implemented. I could be wrong. I hope someone can show that is the case.
    Steps taken:
    1) created a closed caption track in a 2:40 minute Video as the top level video track (V4 in my case) using the CEA 608 CC1 caption stream. Captions show up in the program window properly enabled.
    2) Exported the entire clip directly from Premier Pro CC 2014  as a Quicktime .mov file with captions "embedded in Output file" (also tried exporting through Media Encoder--same results noted below).
    Closed captions DO NOT show up in the resulting .mov file when played in Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OSX 10.9.5, even with subtitles set to "automatic"
    Closed captions DO NOT show up in VLC Media Player 2.1.5 or 2.0.5.
    Closed captions DO NOT show up when the .mov file is imported into an iPad Air running IOS 10.1.1 and played in Safari. This is my target destination and is critical.
    Closed captions DO show up when the mov file is re-imported into Premier Pro and that clip is active in the preview window.
    Closed captions DO show up when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 7 when "Show closed captioning" is active in the "View" menu. Quicktime Player 7 reveals that a "Closed Captions" video track exists as track #3 in the mov file under "Movie Properties".
    I have uploaded the .mov file discussed above and made it available for public download if anyone can help me figure out how to get closed captioning to work. It is intended to be played on an iPad from a Self-Guided Tour app under development, which will play it using the native IOS video player when the file thumbnail is clicked. If the IOS Video Player is the same as QT Player 10.3 on a Mac, it defaults to "subtitles automatic". I don't know for certain,however.

    Thanks for the posting on the forums here. I downloaded your file and I looked at it in the following places:
    GENERAL PLAYBACK MAC
    10.8.5 (12F45)
    with QuickTime 10.3
    I could see the closed captioning in the player.
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    10.9 (13A603)
    with QuickTime 10.3 (727.1)
    I could see the closed captioning in the player -- had to set it under View-> Subtitles-> English CC
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    10.9 updated to 10.9.5 (13F34)
    with QuickTime 10.3 (727.4)
    Closed captions are not being displayed, under any setting (choice is Off or AUTO) -- appears to be an update problem.
    This is not just a failure of PPRO embedded closed caption MOVs, but also embedded MOVs from other closed caption authoring solutions like Telestream, and Annotation Edit.
    I can log a bug on my side, but the problem is not in PPRO -- I'd check with Apple on this.
    with PPRO CC 2014
    Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
    VLC MEDIA PLAYER
    It appears from my quick testing with VLC Media Player --  VLC Media Player is not detecting embedded closed captions in files from PPRO, nor from other industry standard closed caption authoring solutions, like from Telesteam, they make MacCaption and Caption Maker. I also checked embedded files from Annotation Edit, another widely used caption authoring solution, and VLC Media Player does not detect embedded closed captioning in those files, either.
    I encourage you to look on the side of VLC Media Player for the failure to display closed captions.
    IPAD AIR PLAYBACK
    In my testing, I did not test this equipment configuration. If you think you have a problem, please consider logging a bug.
    Thanks again for posting here, I hope I answered your questions! If not, let me know, and I'll reply again.

  • CP8 Interactions and slides with audio and closed captions - not working well - please help

    Okay, I am using cp8 on a windows 8 64 bit machine. I have placed an interaction on a slide. I also have audio on that slide and closed captions.
    When I get to the slide, the audio does not play because the mere fact that the interaction is on there makes the slide pause upon enter. I could have the student click play on the playbar to go, but that is not required on slides without interactions, so I don't like that solution. I also could do an On Enter slide Play Audio and pick the wav file, but then the closed captions don't show up.
    So, the question is, how do I have the slide automatically play the audio at the slide level without the student having to click the play button to go?? Slides with interactions should behave just like other slides with objects/widgets on them. This auto pausing thing is driving me nuts!
    Thanks,
      Lori

    Lori, this is puzzling! Are you talking about one of the learning interactions included with Captivate? If yes, which one? My puzzlement is due to the fact that what you described is what happened in CP6: interaction paused slide at first frame (I had a workaround for audio). But since CP7 interactions do not pause any slide, you'll have to provide the pause yourself. There are some exceptions (games).

  • 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

  • Remove closed captions from H.264 file after converting?

    I processed a video file in Compressor using the Blu-Ray settings, and included a reference to a closed captions file. I now need to use the file in another application (Adobe Encore), but the closed captions appear to be hard coded in.
    Is that correct? Is there anyway to remove closed captions from a H.264 file after it has been converted with Compressor?
    Please help   This is for a film festival, and I may not have time to process the video in Compressor again without the closed captions.
    Message was edited by: nicholas.he
    Fixed question spelling from 'form' to 'from'.

    From the user manual:
    "QuickTime files: Compressor adds the closed caption file as a closed caption track to the QuickTime output file."
    The closed caption "track" can be turned on and off.  It is not burned into the screen, as is the CC standard.  Encore should handle the file just fine.  You should be able to tell the DVD to have Closed Captioning turned off by default.  That's all it takes. 
    Sub-Titles may be burned in to the screen.  If you did sub-titles, yes, you'll have to re-encoded from scratch without them.  When doing sub-titles in an DVD authoring program, you have the ability to enable and disable them, but in Compressor, they're burned in.

  • 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.

  • Closed Captioning? Is there an Adobe Product that does this?

    Im doing Closed Captioning for the first time. Is there an Adobe Product that does this? like On location? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Clover,
    Closed Captioning can be done in Premiere Pro but there are some limitations and considerations. I would recommend doing some research based on your workflow and what your final output will be and posting any questions you have on the Premiere Pro forum.
    Couple things that might help get you started.

  • No Closed Captioning support in QT 10.3?

    Hi,
    I'm on Mavericks with a 3 year old iMac.
    A friend sent me a closed-captioned Quicktime MOV file, which displays the CC text
    on his Snow Leopard with QT 10.
    Absolutely no options for that on my Mavericks' QT 10.3.
    And then the Apple "help" site gives instructions as though it IS available.
    Fortunately, I dug up an old QT 7 player and it works.
    Was it an oversight of Apple to leave out this helpful option in their
    recent editions of Quicktime?
    Was it also an oversight of Apple to omit adding to their "help" page,
    this very "helpful" clarification:  "Sorry, Closed Captioning is Closed on All versions
    of Quicktime past 10.xx"
    I know it's asking a lot but ... REALLY APPLE!

    This question came up today for one of our faculty who was using QuickTime 10.3 under MacOS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  The solution we found was to open System Preferences, go to Accessibility, click on Captions on the left side of the window, and then check the "Prefer Closed Captions and SDH" checkbox.  After you do this, restart QuickTime -- you will then be able to select Closed Captions from under the Subtitle menu in the video's control bar, or under the View -> Subtitles menu.
    I wish Apple didn't require you to prefer Closed Captions in order for the option to show up at all in QuickTime -- this recent change they made does not seem like an improvement, and I hope they reconsider and restore the old functionality.  Closed Captioning is used by many people who do not have special accessibility needs, for example, people who want to watch with sound turned off, or people learning a foreign language, and it shouldn't be this hard to turn Closed Captioning on.

  • Best way to create an ".scc" closed-caption file?

    *I merely need to create an ".scc" file. I do NOT need to embed it myself.*
    My project is a 98-minute movie in English that needs closed captioning. I'll be delivering the .scc file to a post-production house who will make the final merger of .scc file to the already-created tape. So MY QUESTION IS what software options do I have?
    I hear about MacCaption. I try surfing the web to find a purchase page but I only find Demos or strangely cheap prices (like $5.00). I read all these posts that hint at its high price. Maybe I'm totally missing an obvious link but can someone tell me what is a good cheap program for creating ".scc" files for FCP? And if MacCaption is the best choice, what's the best way to download it?
    Shanked

    Michael,
    I've been to the link you pointed out, for MacCaption. I must be missing something but I cannot find any price anywhere on that site. I emailed them and have yet to hear a direct quote.
    As for Annotation Edit, thanks. That's a good tip. Seems like it's a steep $300 US, but that's better than the $980 I'd have to pay a lab for the service.
    If anyone else knows of a cheap alternative (for this one-time usage), please LET ME KNOW!
    thanks,
    Shanked
