Closed Captioning with IMX Format

Hi - I'm trying to add closed captions to my TV show using FCP7. I have the .scc file ready to go. I tried using the compressor method, but the station
I'm sending it to can't read the file. Ultimately it has to be in the IMX format with Little Endian audio. Compressor doesn't give me the option of this audio format. FCP does export to this format, minus the CC. I know we can run it though our tape deck to get the captions, but I'm trying to find a better way to do it digitally, one that will save time in the end.
Any ideas on the process or how I can change the compressor settings to my needs?
Thanks!!

  • 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,

  • Why no closed captioning with TV shows?

    Since most TV shows are already have closed captioning, why is not this option presented for TV programs available on iTunes? Also, I wonder if the lack of [CC] is a violation of the American with Disabilities Act.
    Corbin

    MP4's that I have created with captions and then transfered to the video iPod are very easy to read.
    There are ALOT of people (myself included) that are hearing impaired that love their iPods.
    My hearing impairment limits my ability to understand speech when there is alot of other ambient noise. This is especially true when watching tv/movies; the dialog becomes nearly impossible for me to understand. The closed captioning is permanently on on my home TV.
    I recently purchased the series premiere and first season of Battlestar Galactica. I have had to re-play many, many portions to try and understand the dialog. Sadly, I haven't had much luck. It's very frustrating to pay good money for both the iPod and the episodes themselves and not have the CC available.
    Add me to the list of those hoping Apple adds this functionalitly soon. I know I won't be purchasing any more videos of any kind from iTunes until this feature is added.

  • 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 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...

  • Closed Captioning with Adobe Presenter 10 and pre-recorded audio

    I'm working with Presenter 10. Pre-recorded narration has been imported. The script text has been copied into the notes section of PowerPoint. The audio plays fine in the flash file. When I click CC the closed captioning highlight moves through the text but it is not in sync with audio. Is there a way to manually adjust the movement of the highlighting so that that it is in sync with the audio? If not, is there some other way to get pre-recorded narration to be in sync with the original script?
    Thanks!

    After HOURS on the phone with Adobe people and them being completely useless i finally figure out why i am getting crashes when hitting record.
    Presenter 10 doesnt work with Multi Monitor Setups (at least some of them)
    Im not sure if anyone else has multi monitors and uses Presenter successfully but that was why mine crashes.
    This amazes me quite honestly...Powerpoint by nature is designed to support 2 screens...1 for the presentation and 1 for the controls...for Presenter 10 to not support such a basic thing is absurd.
    Come on Adobe you have been through 10 versions of Presenter and you cant get this right?
    This is like removing the start bar from Windows!!!

  • How can I use closed captioning with Netflix movies?

    Any help from the community on how to be able to see closed captioning on Netflix movies; works with movies from iTunes?

    Hm, Id really like to figure this out also. It bothers me to see my laptop screen out of the corner of my eye using my 30in. Its kind of stupid but, still bothers me.
    edit: That was way to easy. Just close the laptop and let the bluetooth mouse wake it back up. I had tried it once before and it didnt work. Maybe I was just to impatient to wait the extra 10 secs.

  • Where can i find closed captioning guidelines for formatting and styling for EBU-STL that suit iTunes USA ?

    I am trying developing closed captions for my film that is to be submitted within iTunes USA.
    I can't seem to find any current styling and formatting guidelines for these closed captions. I understand that they are meant to be EBU-STL...
    Does anyone know where these can be found?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Premiere CC support Closed Captions with mpeg2, mpg, ts import and export embedded

    Using a side-car file is not an option. This question is about embedded closed caption files.
    Will Adobe Premiere Creative Cloud support the import of closed captioned data from already captioned mpg, ts, mpeg2 video files, and will it support the export of mpg, ts, mpeg2 video with closed captions embedded? If they are adding this feature, do you know when? At least a rough estimate?
    I create content that broadcasts ON DEMAND for major cable television providers and currently we are working with Mac Caption/ Caption Maker and Manzanita to individually caption each video. We need the ability to take the finalized captioned content and occasionally cut sections out and replace with other finalized captioned content. We wanted to do this without needing to RE-Caption every video after we export from Premiere, as that will add many additional hours of work per video.
    Researching online I found that CC supports the import and export of embedded QuickTime closed captioned files. Our provider's standards are mpg/ts. One youtube video I found said that Adobe was adding mpeg2/ts support for closed captioning but I can not find any official word on the subject.
    I appreciate any and all help/information on the subject.

  • Is there any way to convert or export existing Captivate closed captioning to WebVTT format?

    I'm converting my vast library of eLearning to video and uploading to Vimeo.  Vimeo recommends the WebVTT format.  I don't want to have to recreate a ton of existing CC using Vimeo's CC tools if I don't have to.  Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no direct way. You have to export closed captions in CP to a Word doc and take it from there (probably copy-paste).

  • Closed captions with Captivate 5

    Although, I went through the help part and some of the earlier discussion it didnt solve my problem. I would simply like to include sub-titles (close-captions) on my slide. these are the instructions I followed:
    Select the check boxes in the closed captions column and corresponds to the notes you want to convert to closed captions.
    Click Closed Captioning.
    In the Closed Captioning of the Slide Audio dialog box, adjust the start time and end time for the caption.
    Click the + icon to add additional closed captions. Click the ‘-’ icon to remove closed captions.
    Click CC Project Settings to change the font, size, color, background, and the number of lines in which the captions must be displayed.
    the thing is: although when I click on 'Captions & Slide Notes...' under 'Slide Audio' , the text seems to be included only under the Slide Notes and not under the Captions. And it does not allow me to copy/paste the text under the Captions tab. When I try checking the preview, the sub-titles are not visible.
    I know I am working in the right area but just need a hint so I can finally have the closed captions. Screen shots would really help too:)
    Thanks.

    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!

  • Capturing closed captions

    I have a client who has a series of Betacam SP tapes with closed captioning that he wants put onto DVD. I have a Betacam SP deck connected to my MacPro with a Canopus box (not ideal, I know). Is there a way to capture the video with the closed captions signal intact into FCP. And if so, what should I do after that to burn the DVD with closed captions (using DVDSP). Thanks in advance.

    pg. 611 of the user manual
    Adding Closed Captions to a DVD
    With DVD Studio Pro, you can import closed caption files as part of a track. This is the
    most reliable way to include closed captions with your title.
    Do not assume that just because the closed-captioning information was present in the
    video during the MPEG encode that it will be available when the disc is played by the
    viewer. Be sure to perform a test before relying on this method of adding closed
    captions to your title.
    Some MPEG encoders can create separate closed caption files that DVD Studio Pro can
    use to add the function to your disc.
    DVD Studio Pro supports closed caption files in the “.cc” and “.scc” formats.

  • Language selection and closed captioning

    hi! i'm using adobe captivate 5 and i'm wondering if i can implement language selection for the narration in my presentation and at the same time have closed caption with it.
    like, i could choose english for the audio and caption then later choose i.e. german.
    thanks!

    I don't think you could do this in the same lesson without a lot of fancy AS3 widgetry underneath the hood.  It would not be easy.
    Your quickest and easiest way to implement such an idea is simply to have two versions of your course, one with English and the other in German,  Then you have a landing page that offers the learner the option (clickbox or button) to select their preferred language.  Clicking one or the other will branch them to open the relevant lesson.
    Where you may encounter problems with this is when you are using an LMS.  If you have both English and German lessons packaged together in the same course, the LMS will think the learner has only completed half of the total lessons.  In that case, you are forced to have two entirely different courses packaged as an English SCORM and a German SCORM.  The user would then be selecting their preferred language in the LMS, not in the Captivate lesson.

  • Closed Captioning for FCP 7

    What is the best way to go about Closed Captioning with FCP 7.0.3?
    Is there a plug-in or do I need 3rd party assistance?
    tia for any info.

    We've been using Annotation Edit for creating captions and subtitles for FCP 7. For captions, we create an SCC file, which we then play out to either DVCAM (via FireWire) or XDCAM HD (via HDSDI/Kona LHe) using the Edit to Tape function.
    It's a bit more affordable than CPC.
    The developer for Annotation Edit is working on a new application that will include some extra features for captioning. No word on a release date yet.

  • 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.
