Closed Captioning Special Services
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.

We've talked about passion for the business.

On parle souvent de la passion pour son travail.

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

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.
