How to do closed captions

How do I do closed captions on my Final cut pro X ? OR, failing that, how do I write in MY text into these "title clouds" that I have placed, where the lyrics to my song, start ? This Final cut proX that my brother in-law got for me SO-FAR is killing me,& threatening to smash my laptop. I have the latest upgrade for my Macbook Pro. I forget what stupid name snow sniffing leopold or Lion king-fling. Anyway -- closed caption would be best , to have my music video WITH lyrics, but this "Title" thing should work .... I have some "title-clouds" placed, but cannot write in any text ; I cannot replace the text the clouds come with..."name / description" --- seems to me , that Noone would want to have these clouds stay without modifing this lettering.....HELP TY
Also , how do I sorten length of time these "clouds" are visible?

Drag the end of the clip to make it shorter. Double click the words in the viewer to change them.
Not sure clouds is going to work for you as it's a lower third and has two word blocks thatcan't be extended. You might want to delete them, put basic text on top of it and position it over the clouds like this.

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.

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

How to remove closed captions?

The procedure says
1 Press the Menu button on your remote control.
2 Select Settings.
3 Select Accessibility.
4 Select Close Captions.
5 Select either On or Off and press OK.
However, under the menu Settings, I don't have the selection Accessibility
So, how do I do? Wher do I find the Accessibity sub-menu?

Hello Olie,
The HD DVR (6416) boxes are the only box that do closed captioning from the box. All others pass that information straight through to the TV. This means you will have to check the TV's menu for its closed captioning setting, which can be accomplished either with the original TV remote or by using the fios remote and pressing TV then menu to bring up the TV's menu.
Hope this helps,

How to set closed captioning to turn 'on' as default setting?

Does anyone know how to set the closed captioning so that
this feature is turned "on" as the default when people view the
finished product? As it stands right now, users must select the
"cc" button on the "control pad" to turn on closed captioning, but
I want it to automatically appear.

Hi again
All you should have to do is to edit the first slide in
Captivate. Click Insert > Animation and point at the .SWF file.
Once you have done this, publish your project again and your Closed
Captions should display automagickally.

How to extract closed captions from flash video player

I would like to extract the closed captions from this video:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/president-obama-explains-why-health-insur ance-reform-crucial-small-business
(Yes, it's legal, this video is in the public domain)
Is there any way this can be done?

Mystery solved! As I was writing a long description of everything I've tried I came to a realization:
1) Neither the CC nor subtitle buttons did anything on a blu-ray player, TV, or computer.
2) None of the programs I tried were seeing a subtitle or CC track
3) Therefore the subtitles must be hardcoded into the video
4) But mpeg streamclip and handbrake both showed only one video track.
5) Therefore the single video track must contain both versions of the video.
I went back to the mpeg2 I had demuxed with mpeg streamclip and sure enough, it was twice as long as it should be. I skimmed through it (which I hadn't done yet since I was so caught up with the subtitles) and saw the clean version and then right after, the subtitled version. The original DVD authors must have made a script so that the buttons would only play whichever half of the video track you chose.
If I had only double-checked the mpeg2 after demuxing it I wouldn't have wasted so many hours of my life!

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 to extract closed captions from DVD

Hi all, been doing research for the past week and testing out different free programs on mac & PC, but I can't seem to figure out a way to extract a CC track from a DVD a client gave me.
Basically I'm re-authoring a DVD with a new menu in Encore. I have the mpeg2 & aif demuxed using mpeg streamclip. But I can't figure out how to get the CC track using any program (like subrip, jubler, etc). Just about all of them seem only capable of recognizing subtitle tracks.
As a last ditch solution, are there any encoders that will at least see the captions so that I can hardcode them? I know it's not ideal to encode an mpeg2 from an mpeg2 source but I'm at wit's end.

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.

Closed captioning not appearing in video files

I've been working on producing a number of videos intended to be used as content in an iPad app for a Self-Guided Museum Tour which is under development by a non-profit Museum I work for. Many of the videos are intended to have closed captions for the hearing impaired.
Videos are being produced with Adobe Premier CC and exported as Quicktime .mov files with embedded closed captioning. These files play in all instances but in most of them, including the current IOS and Mac OS systems, the closed captioning is not visible. Tests indicate:
Closed captioning IS visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OS 10.8.5 in all instances.
Closed captioning IS visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OS 10.9 as long as English subtitle is enabled.
Oddly, closed captioning IS visible the .mov file is played on an old copy of Quicktime Player 7 running OS 10.9.5 as long as "show closed captioning" is enabled.
Closed captioning IS NOT visible when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 10.3 (with subtitles either off or automatic) on a Mac running OS 10.9.5.
Closed captioning IS NOT visible when the .mov file is imported into an iPad Air running IOS 8.1.1 and played with Safari using the built-in IOS video player. This is my target destination for the project and is critical.
Since the .mov file does contain an embedded closed captioning track (verified as track 3), the problem does not appear to be with the file or how it was created. The problem appears to be with the video player supplied by Apple in the most current versions of both OSX and IOS. In light of Apple's long-standing priority for accessibility this result is surprising.
Need help if anyone can help figure out how to make closed captions work with the IOS video player.

Problem solved with a little help from a Senior Apple Tech Support person.
Essentially, what has to be done in the current versions of both OSX and IOS is to configure the playback device's accessibility settings beforehand:
IOS 8.1.1
Settings–General–Accessibility–Subtitles and Captioning–turn on "Closed Captions+SDH"
OSX 10.9.5 and OSX 10.10:
System Preferences–Accessibility–scroll down to Captions and click on "Prefer Closed Captions and SDH”
You can also change the font style for captioning from these menus.
Once done, a small caption icon that looks like a text bubble on the bottom of the screen when videos are loaded, now has a third option besides "Off" and "Automatic". If the video being played has captioning embedded it may read something like "English CC", as it does in the case of my Premier CC-generated, embedded closed captions. Once that is selected, the captions play properly. [Note that in IOS 8.1.1, the caption icon only appears when a video is played in full screen mode.]

Can you do Closed Captioning on FCP HD

I have been using FCP to create a few TV programs and need to create closed captioning, but I can't seem to figure out if I can use FCP to generate closed captioning.
Anyone know how to create closed captioning in a FCP environment?
Thanks,
Wil

Wai a second. So my clients won't know the difference between subtitling and the closted captioning? Does subtitling run on line 21 as well?
<
Well, I've never met your clients but 90% of mine have no clue.
Subtitling is permanently burned into the image. Could be another language but could be the native or local language written out for the hard of hearing or to make poor audio intelligible.
Captioning (open/closed) is user-activated at the playback device. All TVs have CC switchable display. But there are several flavors of captioning including multiple language encoding.

Closed Captions in Premiere Pro CS5.5 | Adobe Evangelists - Karl Soule | Adobe TV

In this episode of Short and Suite, Karl Soule shows how to import Closed Caption files such as .scc and .mcc and embed them into the timeline. You'll also learn how to preview closed captioning directly in Premiere Pro, as well as how to output your closed captioned video for broadcast.
http://adobe.ly/ymUxiX

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

Flash and closed-captioning

How is the closed-captioning handled on the sample

Thanks.

Nickels55,

I haven't used Captivate, but I've heard of this approach
quite often.
Sooner or later, I ought to check it out. :)
> Walter's idea is the way to go though, but that way is
all
> manual labor...
Respectfully, I disagree. Closed captioning is manual labor,
period
(well, unless Captivate assists the workflow). Someone's got
to listen to
the audio and painstakingly transcribe the dialog, in
addition to noting the
timing of phrases. In my experience, this is easiest to
handle in XML.
Then ActionScript parses that XML, assigns cue points to the
video by way
of, say, the FLVPlayback Component, and listens for the
cuePoint event.
These events can trigger peripheral animation, pause and
advance the
timeline (etc.) and display closed captions. If the FLA needs
to change, no
problem. If the frame rate of either the FLV or the SWF needs
to change, no
problem. If a spelling mistake is discovered that ripples
through the whole
scription ... no problem. If the text formatting changes
throughout, no
problem.
In addition, the FLV -- especially one of the length shown
-- simply
shouldn't be imported directly into a FLA. It would make the
SWF at least
as large as the FLV itself, which might be dozens of
megabytes. Instead,
load the FLV at runtime. It starts playing almost
immediately, the SWF is
small, and you have all the benefits described above for the
captions.
