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!

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 The page I linked to is out of date.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.

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

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

How Do I Enable Closed Captions in iTunes 11?

In iTunes 10 I had enabled Preferences>Playback>Show closed captioning when available. This check box has been removed from iTunes 11. How do I enable closed captioning in iTunes 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

Thanks. This represents a change in conceptualisation from Apple. Previously, closed captions were part of Accessibilty and it was assumed that anyone usings captions would want them on 24/7. It still works this way on iOS devices. On the Apple TV, e.g., closed captions are enabled for the device, via Settings > General > Accessibility > Closed Captions + SDH. Once enabled, captions will be displayed for any content that has them.
Subtitles on the other hand (and subtitles may be in the same language as the audio, they're not just 'foreign') must be enabled or disabled per item of content via the Subtitles menu, which is arrived at by holding the centre button on the remote.
This was the way it used to work in iTunes also. Rolling the Closed Captions into the subtitles menu is new, though I guess it makes sense.

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 .

Not sure when it started, but I wanted to share the functionality for captions on/off IS NOW ONE BUTTON, ONE TOUCH! Press the red "C" button on your remote, and presto! I especially want to give credit to ATT Uverse and specifically, CEO Randall Stephenson and Jennifer Strohl in his office for their tremendous commitment to making CCs truly functional for deaf and hard-of-hearing customers. In 2011, I sent a letter to Mr. Stephenson, asking for his help with making this service more usable. At the time of my writing, it took 24 clicks to turn captions on and 23 to turn them off. Last fall, we discovered the Zoom button mentioned in earlier posts, which had significantly improved the number of clicks. Only this week, we discovered, by accident, that the red "C" button now works -- exactly as we had specifically requested it might when we wrote back in 2011. As the spouse of a hard-of-hearing person, I am strenuous in my efforts to get companies and broadcasters to improve CC functionality in all ways -- and UVerse has come through in flying colors. I am grateful - and delighted - to see ATT's commitment to inclusion in this specific instance. In addition, would like to see the CC remain on the screen when you hit :"Pause" button. It disappears now. It worked with Cox Cable. chiefdore

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!!!!

How can I moving Closed Captioning from one stage video to another?

Someone mistakenly included an MP4 video in a Captivate project. The project won't publish a SWF file (Your computer does not have sufficient memory resources to publish your file), and there are too many Closed Caption items on the stage video to retype them all. I'm searching for options as this will only publish with an FLV version of the video.
Doesn't the CC text reside some place beside the "Edit Video Timing" window? XML? SWF? Something? Somewhere?
Thanks

That's excellent. How can I access what's in the skin? ... I think I may have found the captioning in the Javascript, but the chances of copying it over are pretty slim, I'd say.
Frankly the way Captivate handles closed captioning isn't good enough. This is mandatory for dealing with public universities, and we're having to program around it.

How do I import closed captions in Premiere Pro CC?

Now that Premiere Pro has close captioning we can import text as a layer in the timeline.
However, it only takes certain types of files. In the top video of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/closed-captioning.html
Jeff Sengstack says that Premiere can accept 4 different file types for close captioning but he only mentions Scenarist.
I have my close captioning file in a .txt format but Premiere will not allow that type of file. So I have a couple questions:
1. What are the other file types that can be imported for close captioning?
2. Is there a way to convert a .txt file to a Scenarist format (scc)?

And here I thought I was giving you more info than you asked for, but fair point ;-)
So first of all, 608 and Teletext are different standards for encoding captions. In general, 608 is for NTSC (the video standard in the U.S., Japan, and several other countries), while Teletext goes with PAL (Europe, China, Australia, and elsewhere.) There are a number of differences between them. To learn more, you might start with this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioninghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning.
As for how to convert your .txt file to one of the supported file types, I don't have a direct answer, but you might start by searching the Web for "captions convert txt to scc." I have limited experience with a few of the third-party captions authoring apps, which I expect can ingest a txt file and encode it in the given app's preferred flavor. On the 608 side, the ones I know of are CaptionMaker (for Win) and MacCaption (I'll let you guess which platform that's for). For Teletext, you might try Annotation Edit. Note that I'm merely listing the ones that I'm familiar with. I really don't know enough to recommend any of these programs.
One final note: The captioning features that we added to PPRO CC are geared toward providing a flexible workflow with imported captions--i.e., captions authored in some other program. PPRO CC now supports editing caption content (say to correct a typo or expunge swear words) and trimming caption track items just like any other assets.
You can also create synthetic caption assets and populate them from scratch, which could be handy for short projects or for filling holes in the imported caption sidecar. However, I would not recommend attempting to author all the captions for a project of any substantial length within Premiere. It's simply not designed for that, and there are dedicated programs that do this far better.
