It is like stepping inside from the eye of the Google Search Storm.There are several methods by which you can add captions to QuickTime videos, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. I am oddly calmed knowing that someone is listening and likely to give me a 'custom' answer. I thank you, and Michael, for your contributions here and elsewhere in the forums. I cannot right click on the caption in the timeline, and I also see no option to copy or create a preset in the Essential Graphics panel. One more issue is how do I copy settings (such as Appearance) from one caption to the next? I obviously have many captions that I'd like to add the semi-transparent background to. I think the only solution to getting words to not truncate is to shorten each line and create more lines if necessary (screenshot). I think I am realizing (as I compose this message!) that there is no control over these things for 608 closed captions, as there are for Subtitles. I thought I might find an option to expand the area for the caption, or increase the number of characters allowed per line, or even decrease the font size. I think I am up for this, except I just cannot figure out why the text is clipping off on the right side of some captions (see screenshot). Stan, again, thanks for the input and direction. This is also true if you have selected a word here and then and applied italics. If you apply it after, they will all be moved to the position in the style. If you applied the track style before that, no problem. So, for example, let's say you place your captions bottom middle, and then move only 4 of them to the upper right.

Note that a track style applies to all the captions/subtitles on the whole track, and includes position. Duplicate your caption track and one will be 608 and the other Subtitle. So my next comments about styles are mostly relevant for burning the style in.įor most of what you are doing, you just create two caption Track Styles. I don't know does the Quicktime player also handle using a sidecar file for captions/subtitles? The problem for sidecar usage is that PR exports almost no styling in its SRT export. When you change the 'Subtitle' format to '608' you see fewer styling options in the Essential Graphics Panel. Ultimately, the user decides how they will look.

Jerry, unfortunately, that was the easy part!Ħ08 was developed for over the air TV broadcast and with accessibility in mind. SOURCE FOR QUICKTIME CAPTION REQUIREMENTS: I have heard about importing captions and then changing their format before putting in the timeline.Īny direction or workarounds would be appreciated.Įditing on a 2019 Macbook Pro, with Ventura OS. My captions were created within PP using auto-transcribe, and then tweaked. I tried to choose a Quicktime preset, thinking that would give me the options I need, but I am not seeing it. I see in previous versions there were all sorts of options for doing this. Is that the end of story? Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to do it in Media Encoder (have not tried yet). However, in the Export tab, down in the Captions dropdown, I only see. I read that they need to be formatted in CEA-608 format. To be clear, I want to be able to turn the captioning on and off within Quicktime. I am trying to output a 1080 HD video with closed captions for Quicktime playback on a Mac, using Export in Premier 2022.
