CC is stored in the VITC.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/closed-captioning-for-hd-broadcast#post-70567 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:48:08 +0000 Josh Tiedt 70567@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm finding out that creating a closed caption track for a TV program isn't that easy. The network is allowing us to send them our Quicktime Pro Res 422 file but I am thinking I can not send that with a Closed Caption track in it, can I?  This means if we do the Closed Captioning ourselves we would have to then write our files to tape, correct?  This would then add additional costs to workflow since all our workflow is completely tapeless.  </p> <p>Is MacCaption the only real option for Closed Caption out there?</p> <p>Any recommendations on Closed Caption services? </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/closed-captioning-on-dvd#post-43334 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:48:58 +0000 HIGHCOUNTRYTV 43334@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>   IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO CLOSED CAPTIONING ON DVD WITH OUT HAVING TO BUY ENCORDER.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-42094 Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:20:07 +0000 JohnnyBRotten 42094@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I had to do the same thing to put a video I shot on Fuse. I outsourced too and used a company who CC'd my video and they did everything. All I did was email them the video and they sent me a track back that had the cc info all on it. I'd recommend them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.trendsettermarketing.net/home/media " rel="nofollow">http://www.trendsettermarketing.net/home/media </a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-39515 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:55:48 +0000 stitch1z 39515@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thank you very much.</p> <p> I think I will have to outsource this one. lol.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-39502 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:33:33 +0000 BarefootMedia 39502@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If you've already looked into the indexes in your manuals and none of them mention closed captioning, and I assume you have.  Then you may need to look into hiring a professional service.  So far as closed captioning being something simple to do, I beg to differ.  Closed captions are encoded into the vertical blanking bar of analogue video.  And even though you are doing digital editing, the signal that goes to a viewer is an analogue signal.  Since my roots are in linear video production, I know how tube cameras generate the vertical blanking interval.  And for the closed captioning we put on county government meetings, it was done with an analogue device downstream of the switcher, just before entering the modulator for delivery to the headend.</p> <p>So closed captioning on an NLE has to be placed by a program that has access &amp; control over the vertical blanking interval, which I don't think digital video even has.  Until it is converted to a composite signal, there would be no need to create a vertical blanking interval inside the digital file.  But since I've seen players with CC options, so there must be a way for it to be stored in the digital file.  But I'm sure you'd need specialized software to make unique vertical blanking intervals.</p> <p>And there's the expense.  It is very specialized software, with a very small market.  Just to break even it would have to be quite expensive.  So you are most likely to make it a reasonable expense by shopping around for someone to do it for you.  I'd check with your local professional video equipment suppliers to find who can do closed captioning in your area.</p> <p>Good luck.  And thank the government for requiring closed captions on music programming.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/adding-closed-captions#post-39484 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:52:02 +0000 stitch1z 39484@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello all, I need to prepare a Music Video for broadcast and Music Choice needs Closed Captions added to it.</p> <p>I've searched for answers online and have come up with no real answers. Just encounters with shockingly over-priced software for what seems would be a relatively painless procedure.</p> <p>I run Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>
