Is it possible to embed closed captions in mp4 videos?

Hi,
Is there a way to do that in Premiere Pro?
If not, then how would such thing be done?
Thanks,
Rotem

Right now we embed closed caption data into MXF and MOV files. For additional file embedding options, you can always do some looking around and see about other shipping products like MacCaption / Caption Maker -- but this does not always fit someone's budget. There may be some shareware out there too, that embeds to other file formats. Looking around is never a bad thing. Good luck!

  • 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!

  • Closed caption for youtube videos?

    How do you watch a youtube video with cc by airplay?

    When you have the YouTube app open, tap the magnifying glass in the upper right corner. Then enter closed caption in the search field. Don't forget the three dots.

  • Is it possible to "embed" YouTube and other web videos in emai?

    Many videos on the web have "embed" capability. Can these be embedded in an email?
    I found a passing reference in Mail help about "HTML," but that's Greek to me, and I found nothing about embedding in emails. (I know we can attach movie files that can play in emails, but that's not what I'm asking about.)
    Thanks.

    Here's an interactive PDF with a Flash player I built awhile back embedded
    http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/zenoyoutube.pdf
    This won't work inside of a browser, but if you download the pdf and open it in Reader 9 it should work. You'll have to click the Flash icon and Allow dialogs first then enter a YouTube URL in the field in the lower right corner and click play. Most YouTube URLs from your browser address field should work, i.e. this format:

  • TV@nywhere and closed captioning?

    Is it possible to get closed captioning through S-video?
    It's been a while since i used this tuner. I used it for a while till i installed an ATI all-in-wonder. 
    Now i am back with a different video card and back to the TV@nywhere. I remember being able to get CC with the TV@nywhere but i cant seem to get it to work now.
    I'm using DirecTV connected through S-video with WinDVR3. The close caption option is greyed out.
    I am also using the latest driver from MSI's website.
    Is it becuase i'm using S-video? Does closed caption only work with coax (gross)?
    Thanks

    I don't want to seem dense but the only thing I see available from their web site is drivers. I have the drivers installed that came on the CD with the MSI TV@nywhere Plus tuner card that I just bought. What is the "MSIPVS software from MSI's website". Do I need other drivers, if so, which ones.
    Thanks

  • 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...

  • Free / open source Closed Captioning software?

    I'd like to add closed captions to a feature film I produced. I understand the difference between closed captioning (which is embedded in the video and decoded by the TV) and DVD subtitles, and I would like to add real closed captioning.
    Is there any free / open source Mac-compatible closed captioning software I can use to add captions to my feature film and create a .cc file for importing into DVD Studio Pro?
    I'm more than comfortable with steep learning curves and X11 interfaces. If I have to use a text editor and timecodes, that's fine too. I just need that .cc file to add true closed captioning to my video, and I don't have the dough for commercial CC software.
    Thanks!

    my company does offer closed captioning as a service, Kelly is correct when he says the software is very expensive. as far as creating a .scc file with a text editor, i don't believe it is possible but i may be wrong. when opening a .scc or .cc file in a text editor, it does look like a bunch of "gobbledygook". but the .cap file that is used to create the .scc or .cc file looks a bit more manageable and could possibly be created without captioning software, again i may be wrong and have never attempted to do it. but say you could do it, you could save a bunch of money by creating the .cap file and giving it to someone who has the software to convert it to .scc or .cc. if that seems overwhelming and want to job it out, you could save some money by transcribing the video yourself which is a significant part of the cost when outsourcing. here is a sample of what a .cap file looks like:

  • 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.
    S.@@

    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.

  • Closed Captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies?

    Is it possible to select closed captioning in Apple TV Rented Movies? I rented a movie and did not see the closed caption option. Is it possible that only certain movies have the closed captioning option, or none.
    I would appreciate any information regarding this subject.

    You can turn on closed captioning in the AppleTV settings. Go to Settings > Video.
    It is possible that not all rented movies will have closed captions. It is up to the movie studio to provide CC with the movies files they give to Apple for hosting.

  • 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)

  • Embedding closed captions in MPEG

    I've seen a few questions on this but still don't understand. I'm working with Premiere Pro CC on a Windows computer. I've been asked by a television broadcaster to submit closed captioned MPEG files for a 30 minute program I'm delivering. The station wants the caption files embedded in MPEG format which I understand Premiere Pro is not able to do. How can I convert the sidecar file and MP4 OR the mov file with embedded captions that I have created in Premiere into the format they require? This is pretty urgent so any CLEAR advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hello there,
    I'm sorry this was not replied to sooner. At this time, Premiere Pro embeds closed caption streams (and services) to MOV and MXF files. There's no way right now to embed closed captions to MPEG2, at least with Premiere Pro.
    I wish I could give you different news, but there it is.
    Regards,
    Chris

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

  • Closed captioning for rtmp streaming video

    hi, is it possible to do closed captioning in  adobe captivate 5.5 if the video is set to rtmp? any reply would be helpful. thanks!

    What is the subject matter of these FLVs? 
    If it's Captivate screen captures, then you could have added the CC text to each slide if you had left them as FMV slides.
    However, if the video content is of other things, e.g. people talking or some type of action captured with a video camera, then I believe your best solution would be to add the Closed Captioning in whatever tool you used to edit and publish the video. 
    As I mentioned before, Captivate doesn't really provide a mechanism for adding CC text to on screen objects that contain audio in any form.  So for example, you cannot add CC text to an SWF that you've inserted as an animation, even though you can record and add audio to that SWF in Captivate.  Videos are in a similar position, except that they usually don't have their audio added in Captivate.  They mostly come with their audio track built in.  This means the only real way to guarantee good synchronisation of the CC text is to have it embedded in the video as well.
