I. Non-standard captioning/subtitling
CPC is experienced in all
forms of closed captioning, so if your workflow requires special attention,
or falls outside typical industry standards, CPC will be able to accommodate
you.
II. Captioning/subtitling in languages other than
English
CPC can caption and
subtitle videos in almost any language as long as the language of the spoken
dialogue in the video is English.
We strongly recommend that you
provide the translation (since translation is both an art and a science) and
follow our guidelines.
First, we create a caption/subtitle file in
English and send you the file with timecodes in Excel. The translator then
types the text in the language that will appear in the captions or subtitles
in a new column as below.
01:00:28:28
|
We've talked about
passion for the business. |
On parle souvent
de la passion pour son travail. |
01:00:31:26
|
Passion is not
something you can teach people necessarily, |
La passion ne
s'apprend pas, |
01:00:35:20
|
but you can
certainly recognize it |
mais on la ressent
immédiatement |
01:00:38:06
|
when you see it.
|
chez les autres.
|
CPC takes this specially
formatted translation and and applies it to your video. Note: Standard
definition captions can support up to 4 language tracks on a single video,
and CPC supports up to six language tracks for captions.
III. Retrieving and converting captions
CPC can retrieve caption
data from a video with existing closed captions.
CPC can also import
