#SYNCHRIMEDIA MOVIECAPTIONER MOVIE#
The following text is from the Movie Captioner eBook:Ĭaptioning video not only makes video accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing, but there are other compelling reasons for it as well. If captions are something you need to do, I recommend you take a close look at MovieCaptioner.Ī 14-day free trial is available, as are volume discounts.
#SYNCHRIMEDIA MOVIECAPTIONER UPDATE#
While it does not yet natively support CEA-708 format captions, there are work-arounds which support that format and the developer is about to release an update which will support this latest format as well. MovieCaptioner is flexible, capable and supports a wide variety of import formats and an even wider variety of export formats for web and broadcast. I want to especially mention his excellent eBook, which provides a background on closed captioning as well as practical advice on using the program.
#SYNCHRIMEDIA MOVIECAPTIONER SOFTWARE#
MovieCaptioner is a low-cost, easy-to-use alternative to expensive services and software which creates and adds closed-captions on movies.ĭeveloped by Patrick Besong, whose day job is in Penn State’s Education Technology Services department, its available for either Macintosh and Windows systems, features a straight-forward interface, and offers responsive support from the developer. So, in doing some research, I discovered a very cost-effective alternative: MovieCaptioner, from SynchriMedia. If you are a small production house, spending $6K to create captions for 30-second ads for your local broadcast station is a LOT of money. (Telestream purchased the original company earlier in 2015.) However, while MacCaption has virtually every bell-and-whistle you could want, it’s expensive with a starting price of $1,095 for the web and $6,325 to include broadcast formats. In the past, my knee-jerk reaction was to recommend Telestream’s MacCaption.

I’d love to see some training on how to transcribe program audio, import a transcript format into Final Cut X, and generate a file for broadcast, and a file for web/streaming, and for DVD or BluRay, that is CEA-708-compliant.”
“Larry, we’re going nuts here, trying to figure out the best ways to handle and create closed-captioned videos in FCPX, without spending six grand to buy MacCaption. NASA, The Oprah Winfrey Network, Showtime, Starbucks, Amazon, the Smithsonian Institution, the Sydney Oprah House, Penn State, MIT, Cal Poly, the University of Texas, Ohio State, and many, many more all rely on MovieCaptioner to make their videos accessible.One of the most frequent requests I get are variations on this email from Mark Suszko: MovieCaptioner is used by many well-known organizations, agencies, universities, churches, transcriptionists, and video production shops. It will also import other caption formats such as SCC, STL, XML, SRT, QT Text, Adobe Encore, Avide Text, SBV, and SUB to convert to other supported formats. Already have transcripts and just need to add them as captions to your movies? MovieCaptioner will allow you to import the text as captions, making the job a snap. If you can type, you can make your movies and videos accessible. And exporting Transcripts compiles all the captions into one concise text file, with or without timecode. The caption track is added automatically with the click of a button. You don't need to be a QuickTime guru, either. Just hit the Return key and it will save your caption and automatically advance to the next few seconds of the movie, allowing you to zip through your captioning tasks in no time flat.
MovieCaptioner keeps repeating a segment of the movie until you are done typing what you hear.
