Reading Closed Caption Files

Is there an application that can handle converting .scc files to a readable document.
I have a lot of DVDs with closed captioning and I have all of the .scc files, I need to convert these into transcript files that a person can read.
Any input appreciated.
Thanks

I know pro apps like MacCaption can do it.
But for something simple like decoding SCC to text Annotation Edit will do the job.

  • Update to 10.6.5 and now QT no longer can read .SCC caption files

    Closed Caption files that worked prior to OS X 10.6.5 are now opening with a black background and the words "Scenarist_SCC V1.0" in the window. What could have possibly been changed in the OS update to affect QT 7 this way??? Is there a workaround? This is a major problem for captioning video for iPods.

    I too often have a devil of a time connecting to a Linksys WiFi router with a brand-new unibody MacBook Pro 15", 2.66GHz. I noticed that if I boot the machine off an external Firewire drive this seems to be more of an issue than if I boot off the internal drive.
    I beginning to thing there's some kind of interference between the Firewire system and the WiFi system.
    The router is a Linksys with the latest firmware update. My MacBook and iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 connect to the router fine.

  • Multiple Closed Captioning files?

    Is it possible to assign multiple CC files to one video? Or, is there a workaround that someone can share? Thanks.

    Closed captioning is associated with one track at a time on a DVD.
    There can only be one, SCC file that is associated to each video track.
    Video tracks can only have one closed caption file associated per video track.

  • DSP CRASHES ON BUILD WITH CLOSED CAPTION FILE

    I've done a search but haven't found a problem similar to mine yet.
    I'm using DSP 2.05 and trying to author a DVD with closed captioning. Every time I go to Build/Format, whether it's to a DVD-R or a Disc image DSP shuts down with no error messages at all.
    I can successfully Build/Format the same project to a DVD-R or Disc image if I leave out the closed captioning file(.SCC).
    Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks for any suggestion!

    Thanks for the suggestion!
    I trashed all the parsing files and anything that wasn't vital but haven't tried the Preferences yet. I'll try it and see what happens.

  • Digital closed caption file encoder

    I have traditionally left CC service in the hands of the digital media distributor,
    but recently I have a couple of clients asking about bringing it in house.
    This thread clearly explains CC export capability from CS5.5 is via print to tape,
    not file export.
    Is there an industry standard digital closed caption file encoder?
    Does anyone have any experience with using PixelTools to
    insert closed captioning into an MPEG stream for broadcast?

    Out of the box it is not available.   From html5 the track element can be used to display closed captions, subtitles etc....
    Have you tried overlay [1] and modify video.jsp to include the track element.

  • Best way to create an ".scc" closed-caption file?

    *I merely need to create an ".scc" file. I do NOT need to embed it myself.*
    My project is a 98-minute movie in English that needs closed captioning. I'll be delivering the .scc file to a post-production house who will make the final merger of .scc file to the already-created tape. So MY QUESTION IS what software options do I have?
    I hear about MacCaption. I try surfing the web to find a purchase page but I only find Demos or strangely cheap prices (like $5.00). I read all these posts that hint at its high price. Maybe I'm totally missing an obvious link but can someone tell me what is a good cheap program for creating ".scc" files for FCP? And if MacCaption is the best choice, what's the best way to download it?

    Michael,
    I've been to the link you pointed out, for MacCaption. I must be missing something but I cannot find any price anywhere on that site. I emailed them and have yet to hear a direct quote.
    As for Annotation Edit, thanks. That's a good tip. Seems like it's a steep $300 US, but that's better than the $980 I'd have to pay a lab for the service.
    If anyone else knows of a cheap alternative (for this one-time usage), please LET ME KNOW!
    thanks,

  • Can you export a .srt closed captioned file from Captivate 8?

    When I try to export it gives me a Word file that doesn't have any time stamps. Thanks!

    From everything I've seen it isn't possible to export closed captions to .srt. As an alternative I'm hoping someone has come up with a way to convert the closed captions Word file to an srt file. Any takers?

  • Applying a closed-captioned file to track

    I'm working on my first real DVD SP project in 4.0. I'm trying to apply a .scc file from my caption house to my video track. When I go to Build I get a message that says "Closed Captioning syntax error @ line 460." I realize one potential problem I have is that my Time code on the .scc file is 1 hour off. In preferences on DVD SP I set the encode to start at 1 hour, hoping that would compensate.
    I guess the bigger question, or maybe the one I should be asking first is can DVD SP even encode the .scc file into my QT video asset. From the manual, it seems like it can, but I 've talked with people who say no, it needs to be embedded in the video ahead of time.
    Thanks. Any info will be appreciated.

    Hi Jeff,
    I have successfully done this several times using DVDSP, but more commonly I am supplied with pre encoded material.
    I am not sure whether slipping the timecode within DVDSP is also applicable to closed captions. I would synchronise your mpeg's timecode either via your encoding solution or restripe the mpeg using restream, Mpeg Append.
    Good Luck

  • Remove closed captions from H.264 file after converting?

    I processed a video file in Compressor using the Blu-Ray settings, and included a reference to a closed captions file. I now need to use the file in another application (Adobe Encore), but the closed captions appear to be hard coded in.
    Is that correct? Is there anyway to remove closed captions from a H.264 file after it has been converted with Compressor?
    Please help   This is for a film festival, and I may not have time to process the video in Compressor again without the closed captions.

    Fixed question spelling from 'form' to 'from'.

    From the user manual:
    "QuickTime files: Compressor adds the closed caption file as a closed caption track to the QuickTime output file."
    The closed caption "track" can be turned on and off.  It is not burned into the screen, as is the CC standard.  Encore should handle the file just fine.  You should be able to tell the DVD to have Closed Captioning turned off by default.  That's all it takes. 
    Sub-Titles may be burned in to the screen.  If you did sub-titles, yes, you'll have to re-encoded from scratch without them.  When doing sub-titles in an DVD authoring program, you have the ability to enable and disable them, but in Compressor, they're burned in.

  • Closed caption issue.  how to import a .scc  file into Encore

    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.
    Adobe Encore * Closed captions
    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?

  • 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 for iTunes

    Does anyone know what's the best way to attached a closed captioning file to a Quicktime mp4 video for iTunes? What format of closed captioning did you use?

    This is something I can't help you with, and is a bit outside the usual subject matter of this forum. A quick look in the Search result suggests that you may get answers in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • 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.

  • 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'.

  • "scanning closed captions" taking forever

    I have a ProRes Quicktime file with closed captions embedded.  Each and every time I open a project with this file in it, it scans the closed captions file (says "scanning closed captions for...") and takes approx 20 mins (90 min video). While it is doing this I can't do anything with the video.  It wouldn't be horrible if it just did it the first time like it does with audio but it is every time.  Plus even though Premiere and Quicktime Player says there are closed captions, i have yet to see them in either program even though I've taken the steps to turn them on.  That is a less important issue, I really just want to be able to open it and not take forever. 
    Is there a setting for this I am missing that would just turn this off?  Anybody else experience this?    I'm using CC.
    thanks
    Ryan

    Sorry, I meant to ask for more info about captions not actually showing up. Yes, once scanning is complete, the captions should be viewable in the Captions panel, the Timeline, and the Source & Program Monitors (if they're set up correctly)
    When the clip is selected either in the Project panel or the Timeline, does the Captions panel show the content?
    What type of caption(s) are present. If you're not sure, select the clip in the Project panel and check the Caption Stream control at the top of the Captions panel.
    Do you have the Closed Caption Display Settings set to match the stream type?
    What do you mean the "2nd video track is striped"? In the Timelines, captions should look like the one in the attached image. Note that you have to expand the track to see the caption blocks.
