Re: Tools for Doing Closed Captioning on MP4 Videos

MAGpie, Captionate, Subtitle Horse are a few tools that can output DFXP. http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/flash/captioning_tools.html

If you have a tool that outputs another format like QTText or SAMI you can import that file into MAGpie and output TTML/DFXP.

Service providers like Automatic Sync, WGBH, Caption Colorado, Caption First, and others can deliver an appropriately formatted file if you want to hire the work out.

Thanks,

Subject: [WebAIM] Tools for Doing Closed Captioning on MP4 Videos

Good Day!

I was curious if anyone had a recommendation for tools that assist with closed captioning videos (intended for the web). Saw a few for PC, but also need one for Mac.

We're switching over to jwplayer and I believe it uses some variant of the W3C Timed Text standard (so everything ends up in an XML file with timing).

Thanks very much for any recommendations.
