How to create closed captioning in premiere

We have a series of short educational videos, and we need to add closed captioning subtitles.
Every set instructions says we need to import a .scc or .mcc file, but where do we create the file? How do we create the file?

See if this helps:

Create closed caption within Premiere Pro

Question: I'm using Premiere Pro 6 on a intel Xeon mac osx 10.8.3. I need to do captions for my project. I followed the Tutorial on "Create closed caption within Premiere Pro". When it comes to going to the window tab and selecting Captions.
Problem: in my copy of Premiere Pro 6 there isn't this option for selecting the captions buttton. How can this be resolved ?

That tutorial is talking about Premiere Pro CC, which doesn't come out until June 17th. The current CS6 version cannot actually create Closed Captioned files. You need to do that in a third party program for import into PP.

How do you create closed captioning in Premiere 5.5?

I have a client that would like me to add closed captioning to his videos. I'm not sure how to do this. Could someone please tell me how?

Hi morenuts,
In Premiere Pro CS5.5, you can attach a closed captioning file and view it in the Program Monitor. Check out this video for details: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/short-and-suite/closed-captions-in-premiere-pro-cs55/

Creating Closed Caption in Premiere Pro Cs6

Hello,
I am trying to create Closed Caption from the scratch in Premiere Pro CS6. I watched couple of videos of internet.
But I dont see "Caption" menu and when I create a "New Item", it doesn't show me "caption" option to create new caption.
Where I can find Caption Menu to create new closed caption in Premiere Pro Cs6 ?
Thanks!

You have a few choices -- there are two commercial products that I have used and know about, to create sidecar closed captioning files that are usable in PPRO and follow industry standarads for CC: CPC (www.cpcweb.com) makes a authoring program called 'MacCaption' for MAC and 'Caption Maker' for WIN. Also, a German company (www.zeitanker.com) makes a program called 'Annotation Edit'.

I'm trying to output captions on CC3 but it's not working. They're only showing up when set to CC1. I've done a lot of searching online and found nothing regarding this in Premiere, wondering if you can help?
The CC files are .scc, made with MovieCaptioner by SynchriMedia. I have a Blackmagic HD Extreme 3D card installed, and I've confirmed that the captions do not display on my external monitor as well unless it is set to CC1.
It seems like changing the CC channel in Premiere doesn't actually change which channel Premiere is encoding to. I've also found no info on if the channel of the CC is actually embedded in the .scc files. I have found through MacCaption's user manuals though that any caption file can be set to different channels through MacCaption's own encoder setting, which makes me believe the problem is in fact within Premiere not properly changing the channel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
Jeremy

Does anyone else wonder why this video isn't captioned?

Creating Closed Captions that do NOT dissappear and finding an alternative

Hi all!
Does anybody know how to allow closed captions to continue displaying after the audio has ended on a slide in BOTH captivate 3 &/or 4? The text in the captions dissapear after the audio has completed.
Also is there a way to modify/skin the caption box?
The reason I'm asking is because of the way our projects are designed. We want the user to stay on the same slide until the forward button on the playbar has been clicked. This is easily done with having a "Pause project" click box on each slide.
We used to have a text caption that's identical to the audio that stays on permanently on each slide but we want to move away from that.
I have also tried to use buttons in captivate 4 to show/hide a text caption (with the name"bodyText"). I created 2 buttons to do this.
The "Show Text" button has advanced actions to :-
a) rdcmndPause = 1;
b) Show the "bodyText" caption
c) Show the "Hide Text" button
d) Hide the "Show Text" button
e) rdcmndPause = 1;
The "Hide Text" button does:-
a) rdcmndPause = 1;
b) Hide the "bodyText" caption
c) Show the "Show Text" button
d) Hide the "Hide Text" button
e) rdcmndPause = 1;
That works BUT clicking on the "Show Text" button plays the slide and ignores the following:-
a) Multiple "Pause project" click box. These were placed before & after the button was paused on the timeline.
b) _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1; swf's I've inserted. These were placed before & after the button was paused on the timeline as well.
This is VERY annoying as the slide keeps playing and will eventually show the next slide. Which is NOT AT ALL what we want.
Another method I have tried is to wrap the captivate file into a flash "loader". All this flash file is to do a Load Movie with the captivate into a target movieClip called "container". With this "container", I've used an imported AS2 flash player 9 "hideText" swf that has a "Show/Hide text" button in it:-
All this "hideText" swf has on a single frame is:-
textHidden=false;
_root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
hideText.onRelease=function() {
    if (textHidden==false) {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _parent.bodyText._visible = false;
    textHidden=true;
    } else {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _parent.bodyText._visible = true;
stop();
also tried this first:-
textHidden=false;
_root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
hideText.onRelease=function() {
    if (textHidden==false) {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.bodyText._visible = false;
    textHidden=true;
    } else {
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.rdcmndPause = 1;
    _root.container.cpSkinLoader_mc.bodyText._visible = true;
stop();
Both didn't work. Am I targeting the text caption incorrectly here?
if anybody can spare some time, I need help to achieve a solution please?

I also agree with your suggestions but posting them here on this forum is of very little use.
If you want any chance of having them taken seriously by Adobe, this is where you need to post them:

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
Check this article for accessibility in Captivate : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WSc1b83f70210cd101-157ec7f211c7ef6052c-7fff .html

How to include closed captions in captivate?

How to include closed captions in Captivate? I found that the
option is available in Accessibility, but it is disabled. How to
enable it? Anyone can help me please?

Welcome to our community, prabuu77
Closed Captioning is not available in Captivate until you add
a sound file. The thought is that you add a sound file containing
audio narration. Then you may add Closed Captioning.
Once you add a sound file to a slide (tap the F6 key and you
may add a sound file) you should see a Speaker icon on the slide in
the Film Strip. Click the Speaker icon and the menu that appears
should list Closed Captioning.
Cheers... Rick

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014.

I am having trouble exporting closed captions from premiere cc 2014. I see them in the program monitor but after i export and try to playback in either quicktime or VLC i get to embedded captions. I eve tried the side car file and embedded with compressor and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I only used compressor because i switched from final cut to adobe. easy fellas!

I have latest QT version, do i need to go back to 7? I have tried VLC also, i usually use that to check CC in mpeg files. I am exporting a QT H.264 for just testing purposes, I need a prores HQ, also this is SD so my sequences are set to 720x486.

No puedo visualizar subtítulos / Closed Caption en Premiere CC 2014

Hola a todos,
Hace dias que estoy intentando subtítular un vídeo utilizando closed caption en premiere cc 2014 (español) pero no consigo ver los subtítulos en el monitor. Solo puedo verlos si en settings los pongo en Teletexto 1, pero yo necesito hacerlos en CEA-608 CC1 y exportarlos en XML.
Cuando los hago en CEA-608 CC1 no hay manera de que pueda visualizarlos.
¿Me podeis ayudar?
Muchas gracias de antemano.
Saludos!

Hello there -- thank you for taking the time to comment here. Set the monitors to whatever closed caption standard you want to see.
1. Double-click on any caption or sidecar file to see what standard it is set to by reviewing it in the "Captions" panel.
2. In either monitor, go to the wrench icon, and click on it, go to the "Closed Captioning Display", and then set the display for closed captioning to match your closed caption sidecar or embedded file.
You should then see captions, in 608, 708, or Teletext -- if they are in the caption sidecar or file.
Take care!

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.

How do you export a working closed caption for Premiere Pro CC 2014 in .mpg format?

We do weekly 1/2 hour programs that require closed captioning for air. I need to know how to export a self contained .mpg format without using MacCaption. If not possible, is there another, less expensive, 3rd party program that I can use? Or better yet, is Adobe going to create one for us?

Look for the wrench icon in the monitors, above the playback area, to the right. Tooltip for it is "Settings..." -- the menu item is in the flag menu there: Closed Captioning Display...

What is the best software for creating SCC/MCC files for closed captioning in Premiere pro?

I have experiemented with the demo version of MacCaption to create SCC/MCC files that I am importing into Premiere Pro for Closed Captioning. It seems to work okay, but before I purchase it I was wondering if it is the best software choice for my workflow? Would anyone recommend something different? Thanks!

PMJI, but I recently started using a program called Subtitle Edit (http://www.nikse.dk/SubtitleEdit/) not to be confused with another program called Subtitle Editor.
Subtitle Edit is open source, full featured and supports dozens of file types(in/out and convert). I use it in conjunction with our Accordent(now Polycom) Capture Station webinar systems. I haven't used in conjunction with AdobeCS products yet, but it does list Encore and Captivate in it's I/O list. It's definitely worth a look-see.

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!!!!
