In the world of web captioning, you have lots of options. Probably too many: Captions for Flash, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, QuickTime, YouTube, and the list goes on. Each of these video players require a unique kind of caption file.
CaptionMax can create many different caption files, but some of the trickier ones would require several steps, find-and-replace, and even a couple of different software applications.
To simplify things, we developed our own application. The Caption Converter. Your program is captioned as normal, then we use our one tool to create many different file types and variations. As of this writing, we can export 15 different files types, all with one simple click!
A captioned program is imported into the Caption Converter.
An export is chosen. In this case, Standard XML for Flash.
And there you have it! The caption file is saved, and ready for Flash.
This program also has internal checks to make sure all captions are properly formatted. Any illegal characters or problems are quickly fixed.
The most exciting feature is adding new exports. Within minutes, we can add your custom export, and we’re good to go. All files after that will be consistent and accurate.
At CaptionMax, we’re all about efficiency. If the right tool for the job doesn’t exist, we make our own.
