Re: Caption Question

To clarify on the point of what Adobe Premiere can do, you certainly could create "burned in" captions in Premiere just as you can with an video editor, but as Jon says there is a lost opportunity there for caption display modification/customization.

Premiere allows authors to import caption files, edit the caption data (which is shown on the video during editing at the editor's preference), and export the captions either as a separate file or (for quicktime) with the data embedded in the video asset. Another Adobe tool (Primetime) will allow you to embed caption data and stream the video files to a variety of devices and it embeds the data correctly for a variety of platform environments and allows the end user to modify the display appearance of the captions in the way that is required by the FCC/CVAA rules.
