Features

Post-Production Subtitling

  • Subtitles analog and digital video formats.

  • Video is displayed in a window of the CaptionMaker software.
    Subtitles are dragged and dropped to the desired screen location
    using a mouse.

  • All attributes of subtitles (e.g. color, italics) appear in the
    CaptionMaker as they would on a television monitor, providing
    a precise picture of how the subtitles will look in your final product.

  • Software automatically converts raw text into basic subtitles.

  • Built-in word processor designed from the ground up for subtitling.

  • Frame precise synchronization between dialogue and subtitles
    using time code with the CPC-700. Time code may even be
    assigned off-line using an inexpensive stereo VCR with 2 audio
    channels (one for LTC time code, one for dialogue).

  • Synchronization is done on the fly or using the computer timer
    with the CPC-600. Although this does not provide the perfect
    frame-by-frame precision of the CPC-700, it is a cost-effective
    and time saving alternative for your Subtitling needs.

  • Final subtitling process is fully automated using time code with
    the CPC-700. This reduces the time needed with expensive
    VTRs to the time it takes to make a dub.

  • Simple-to-follow icons and intuitive design let you use the
    software right out of the box.

  • Machine control may be used to control VTRs using a mouse
    or the computer keyboard.

  • All languages available with Windows TrueType fonts are supported

  • After subtitling a video in one language, it can be subtitled in
    additional languages in less than half the time it took to do the
    original.

  • Import files from the following formats:
    • Microsoft Word®, WordPerfect® (any language)
    • Text with or without time code in and out
    • Cheetah, Inc. files
    • Captions, Inc. files
    • Caption Center files
    • Softni files

The CaptionMaker software can be used to subtitle videos using
the following character generators:

  • Chyron Codi (analog)
  • MagniCoder Pro (analog and digital)
  • Ultech DV-2000 (analog and digital)

What else can you do?

Retrieve caption data including time code and positioning information automatically from previously captioned videos using low cost hardware. You can then use the caption data to do the following:
»
Generate a DVD caption or subtitle files
»
Generate a Webcast caption file
»
Reinsert captions onto time compressed video, which is often used in television re-runs
» Reinsert captions onto a newly edited version of a video that had been previously captioned

Webcast captioning  
You can caption your existing videos on the Web with the CPC-700NL. To caption an existing video, which is known as a Video-on-Demand Webcast, the process is the same as that described earlier up to the point of AutoSync. Instead of AutoSync, the CaptionMaker exports a caption file for your Webcast. The CaptionMaker can create files for all three video players: Windows Media Player, RealPlayer and QuickTime.

For captioning a live webcast, click here.
For a sample archived video of a live webcast, click here.

DVD Captioning/Subtitling can also be done in just a few minutes using a previously time stamped caption file. Simply import
a time stamped file from the CaptionMaker or virtually any other captioning software;
then export the file in the format of any major DVD authoring system.

V-Chip ratings can be added while captioning a video, and also added to a video with existing captions. Ratings
can be changed second-by-second to reflect the changing program content.

WebTV Crossover Links can also be added while captioning a video, and added to a video with existing captions.


Why CPC is the
Smart Choice

"The software is very user
friendly. We were captioning the day we received our system."
Kevin Reeve
Utah State University

"With our CPC closed captioning software we don't
have the expense of an outside service, nor do we have to wait for them to get it done . . .we can do it ourselves. Now it is done in-house, for less money, and in much less time."
John Linn
Xerox Corporation

"We have subtitled hundreds
of videos on DVD with excellent results."
Jeremy Stuart
Visual Sound, Inc.

"It’s as if the software were designed by a captioner, not a programmer. Caption features are presented in a very intuitive manner."
Burwell Ware, Caption Perfect, Inc. 

"We have received excellent technical support. CPC has always been there for us, with knowledgeable support staff, providing answers in language we can understand."
Jeff Johnson ADR International
