Import Video Closed Captioning?

Is there a way to get the captions applied to slide videos without entering them one by one?
Ideally, I'd like the video to reference a timed text XML file. But, anything would be better than inputing one line at a time.
Thanks,
Glen

Hi Glen,
As of yet this is not possible. If this is something you that you would like to see in a future version, then please file an enhancement request.

Adobe Captivate 7: Change font size of imported localized closed captions

I'm attempting to use the export/import captions functionality in Captivate 7 and when I import the text, the imported Japanese characters are HUGE. The font in the imported Word doc aren't that big and I'm unsure how to adjust the imported closed captions to they display correctly. As you can see below, the characters are way too big. I've tried adjusting the font size in the CC Project Settings window, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
Current CC settings:

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!

Are video closed captions possible on iOS devices via Flash CS5.5?

Hello,
I'm creating a Flash video player with closed captions for my job and curious - if we buy Flash CS5.5 is it possible to save or port the video player with the closed caption option and have it work on iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices? We're trying to make all our current and future Flash video completely accessible to all users on all devices. If it is doable, any guidance received on how to do this is very much appreciated. If not possible is there any insight that this feature may be added to Flash CS6 or whatever it may be named?
Thank you,

Hi,
Thanks for a speedy reply.
My app is basically a hybrid app (web app in a native container) When I was testing, the scrolling in my app did not work on iOS4 and the whole app was very slow but on iOS5.1 it was fine and very quick. I’m guessing the safari version made the difference.
I know it will get rejected if I submit it as they will test on iOS4 which doesn’t work well at all and I don’t want users using it on iOS4 as it’s a bad experience. I know I am probably going to reduce my installs if it’s only for iOS5.1 but its only a free App and I don’t see any option if on iOS4 it’s pretty much broken.
I really hope there’s an easy way or my last month’s work has been pretty much pointless.

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.

adobe help with Encore CS6. Making a closed caption track from .scc file made in Premiere Pro cc
I cannot get encore the import the Closed Caption file. It says software used to decode the media in not available on this system.

Are you sure you are attempting to add it to Encore correctly? You do not "import" the file the way you ordinarily import assets.

I do not have cc, and have not attempted it with a Premiere generated file.
Can you (or someone) share a small scc file generated by PR CC?

Pausing and restarting closed caption and audio

Can anyone help me with this issue - I have 2 sets of closed captions on one slide with audio that spans the both closed captions. I pause the audio at the end of closed caption one using a click box, when I restart it by clicking on the click box the audio plays the remaining content but the closed caption box will not display the 2nd lot of text????
Looking for help - please...
Carl.

I found a workarround (using the fact that Video Closed Caption is working corect):
Export the MP3 (from the library)
Remove slide audio (Audio > remove > Slide)
Convert MP3 to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder or a similar tool. Make the dimensions as small as possible
Insert Slide Video (Insert > Slide Video …)
Add the text for the Closed Captions to the video (Video > Edit Video Timing … > tab Closed Captioning
Mask the video on the stage with a rectangle (I tried to drag the video from the stage but you won't hear the audio)

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,
Hunt

Netflix and Closed Captioning

Is there a way to turn on Closed Captioning in Netflix when using the AppleTV? I have a PS3 that I use for Hulu Plus, but I use my AppleTV for Netflix. The PS3 has the option of turning on Closed Captioning, but I can't find any such option for the AppleTV. If there is one, can you point me to it? Not the closed Captioning for Apple's rentals. I really don't want to use the PS3 for Netflix, but I feel I almost have to because of this issue.

To turn on CC and subtitles:
Go to Settings -> Audio & Video -> Subtitle Language to turn off or select the language of choice for subtitles
In Audio & Video -> Closed Captioning to turn on or off CC.
Most movies in the Apple store do not have CC. All movies in Netflix do not have CC or subtitles on the ATV2 but only on the PC/Mac and one of the game consoles I read have an add-on to get it to work. I have heard nothing on when the CC or subtitles will be ported to the ATV2.
Hope that helps

Importing Closed Caption .scc file into Premiere Pro CS6. Closed Captioning is enabled but cannot see the Captions tab. Also get error message when importing to bin.

I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. My aim is to export an mpeg file with closed captioning embeded for network television. I have watched numbers adobe videos and have spent countless hours researching this. I am able to generate about 29 different types of Closed Caption files using MovieCaptioner- including .scc (which Adobe says they prefer). When I try to "Import" the file I get an incompatible error message. The same happens with all other cc file types when I try to import them. Second, I tried attaching the .scc as an attachment in the sequence menu. They show up in the preview window, but do no encode into the mpeg file. I am aware of this form: Re: How do I export closed-captioned movies from Premiere CS6?
Third- I have watched some adobe video for created the CC files within Premiere. http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/create-closed-captions-within-premiere-pro /
However, I cannot find the "Caption" menu to do so? Where is it?
Am I running into problems because I am not on the Creative Cloud? IF so, is it possible to upgrade and how do i do that. Adobe has made it incredibly difficult to contact anybody.

Sorry, you cannot do this in Premiere Pro CS6. Only QuickTime files can be exported with embedded closed captioning and this must be done in Premiere Pro CC or later. All other formats must use a sidecar file.

You can only attach a closed caption file in Premiere Pro CS6, no encoding is available for closed caption files (embedded or sidecar).

Caption is a tab is in the Export Settings dialog box if you want to export with closed captions. This tab is available in Premiere Pro CC and later.

In Creative Cloud, you would still have trouble encoding a MPEG 2 file with embedded captions as it is a QuickTime only feature. There might be a plug-in available, but I'm not aware of it.

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.]

Closed Captions don't appear when I play my video exported with Premiere Pro CC

So, I've spent some time researching this, but can't seem to get anywhere. I'm fairly new to Premiere Pro and I've created a sequence with closed captions. I've tried exporting several different ways (Quicktime, H264, etc.). I've also been careful to include a sidecar closed caption file or to embed the closed captions within the video when exporting using Quicktime. I've also been sure that both files (the movie and the scc file) are in the same place. I've tried playing different versions of the exported video on Quicktime Player and VLC, but have had no luck getting the closed captions to appear. In Quicktime player I've tried it with the closed captions activated, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. In VLC I've tried the Advanced Open option which enables you to select the subtitles file you want to load with the movie. Once again, no luck. I've tried dragging and dropping the .scc file onto the movie while it plays. I've tried selecting a Subtitle track using the video drop-down menu. Once again, no luck. I've tried exporting from Premiere Pro with the sidecar file as a .mcc file and that didn't work either. I even tried converting the .scc file to an .srt file via some online app.
Anyway, I'm stumped. All I want to do is to get my movie to play with the subtitles with some simple application. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry, Fritz. It's been a while since I really looked at the Closed Captioning help page, and I just assumed that the New Caption workflow is covered there. And a second apology because the state of that page is at least partly my fault insofar as I promised our technical writer months ago that I'd help flesh out this page.
You're not doing anything wrong when it comes to adjusting the start/end times for caption blocks. Caption tracks in the Timeline are basically display-only. The apparent handles are really just indicators; they're not interactive. I believe it's on our roadmap to make them interactive, but I have no idea where that enhancement sits in the priority order.
I'm not sure what you mean about "each caption track block [being] limited to just over 30 seconds." If there's a maximum duration for a caption clip, it's probably up at 12 or 24 hours. I've worked with several that are longer than an hour. As for individual caption blocks within a clip, my memory has grown fuzzy in the months since I worked on the feature, but I think the program does not enforce a limit on the duration you can give a block. However, there may be a limit on how long a given caption block will actually get displayed. I thought that limit was 15 seconds, but I just did a test with blocks of 10, 20, and 40 seconds, and all of them had the full assigned duration in the encoded output. Could be that the limit I'm thinking of is standard-specific... Come Monday, I'll have to check with colleagues who have remained closer to the feature set.
Note that if you add a caption clip to a sequence before you've finished adding the blocks, then you'll need to trim out the clip after increasing its duration by adding blocks.
Lastly, although Premiere supports authoring captions from scratch, the feature set was conceived chiefly for importing captions created in a third-party authoring tool and, as needed, revising the content and adjusting the timing.

Disable embedded closed captions from video Asset?

Hello all,
I have imported a H.264 file from Apple Compressor with embedded closed captions (not hardcoded I believe).
Is it possible to disable them? The automatic formatting of the captions is not suitable, and I would like to use the native Encore subtitle feature.
Please help, anyone who has experienced this before.
Best,
Nicholas

I think you might be right Stan. The video was supplied by a filmmaker, so I don't have any FCP projects.
I found an app called tsMuxer that looks inside video files for different components, and only recognised the video file. That makes me think they really are burned in. Oh well!
I'll post back if I find a different solution for further use.
Thanks again for your help Stan!

Best way to import closed captions

BACKGROUND: We record "webinars" using Microsoft LiveMeeting. They are available for download as Windows Media Video (WMV) files. Our government agency-approved contractor provides captions embedded in the windows media video, and they also provide a RTF transcript. Captivate 4 & 5 only seem to support FLV or F4V videos, not WMV. So, I import the WMV video to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to clean it up and edit it down. Then, I use the Media Encoder (version 5) to export a FLV video, which I will later import into a training module in Captivate 5.
However, when I edit the video in Premiere Pro, I can't seem to access those embedded captions. So, I use MAGpie (a free software application) to create captions using the existing transcript.
So, Captivate 4 & 5 have closed caption features, but there doesn't seem to be a way to import them from a text file, only to type them in one-by-one. That's fine when you have a 3 or 5 minute video, but when a professional transcription already exists, it would be much easier to just import all the text and then adjust the times. I don't know if importing a caption file or text file with timcode is possible. I've tried to let Premiere Pro do it using the XMP Metadata transcription feature, but the audio quality in LiveMeeting isn't the best, and the transcription fails big time. It would be nice if Premiere Pro would allow you to import or edit captions too, but in CS4, it doesn't. If CS5 supports that I would consider upgrading; otherwise, it looks like back to manual entry.
I tried entering captions (manually) into a project, and then exporting it and searching for the captions I entered -- hoping to find a hidden file where all the captions are stored, but nothing came up in my search. So, I'm guessing the captions we provide are exported directly to the SWF file, and unavailable?
At this point, I'm thinking out loud and basically soliciting ideas from folks who may have ideas on a better, more effiicient method to get captions in my projects without having to manually enter them again after we've already paid a professional captioning service to provide us the text file and time code. Thank you in advance for any ideas and thoughts.
Cheers!

Exporting as PDFs and importing into Motion is great. However, if your illustration is a grouping of paths intended for animation (e.g. a face with lips and eyes that you'd like to animate independently) then the PDF method can become fairly tedious.
Unfortunately Motion doesn't support Adobe Illustrator's compound path type. Coming from Adobe AfterEffects I was fairly disappointed in this since much of what I did in AfterEffects required animation of my compound path vector art. However, compound paths can be simulated using masks in Motion fairly easily and although this method has limitations it works very well.
Using Adobe's API I've written a free plugin for Illustrator called "Motionize" which allows an Illustrator user to select a shape in their Illustrator file and export it to a single Motion shape file. It supports simple shapes, lines, groups and compound paths as well. There is a sample file included to get you started and I would appreciate any feedback via my site as to how it can be improved.
It currently supports only one selected item at a time and does not support gradients though I am working on these issues. I hope it helps! I use this too so it's something under constant development.

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.

Problem rendering closed caption video with PremierePro CC 2014

I am on a Mac running Yosemite and using Premiere Pro CC 2014. No matter how I try to render video with closed captioning (embedded or with a side car file in various formats) I cannot render a file that contains the closed captioning. I have followed the tutorials, but cannot produce a file that has readable closed captioning either in the Quicktime player nor when I import the generated file back into Premiere Pro.
Any hidden tricks? Tips? Help!
