Importing and Exporting Closed-Caption Files
You can import an SCC (Scenarist Closed Caption) file and edit the closed captions that it contains. You can associate these captions with a sequence and edit the timing as needed. You can then repackage them as part of the sequence, export an SCC file, or export a TTML file.
Currently only pop-on and roll-up captions are supported. If you try to import a file that includes paint-on captions, a message is displayed, stating that only pop-on and roll-up captions are supported.
To import an SCC file:
1. Load an Interplay Production sequence in Asset mode.
2. Click the Media Pane menu and select Closed Captions to display closed captions in the Media pane.
3. Open the Closed Captioning pane.
4. Click Import.
The browser’s Open dialog box is displayed, with SCC File selected as a filter (labeled Custom Files).
If closed captions are already listed in the Closed Captioning pane, a message asks if you want to overwrite the existing text segments. Click Cancel or Overwrite.
5. Navigate to the SCC file and click Open.
The SCC file is converted, and the Closed Captioning pane displays timecode, text, and alignment for the closed-caption segments.
To export a closed-caption file:
1. Click Export.
The Export dialog box is displayed.
2. Select SCC or TTML, accept the default file name (the name of the Interplay Production sequence) or provide a new one, and click Download.
The closed-caption data is converted and saved as an SCC file or a TTML file. The file is saved in your browser download location.
