Professional, high-quality captioning
Cost is $6 per video minute plus $50; includes encoding, videotape, and 2nd day FedEx.
Client will be sent an open-captioned VHS proof copy at no charge.
Client
sends us a professionally produced “master video” on BetaSP, DV/DVcam, or
DVCpro25
and
we create a closed-captioned professional master on BetaSP or DVcam using
roll-up captions.
Example: A ten minute video using ‘roll-up captions’ would cost $110.
Add $2/minute if verbatim script is not supplied.
Add $6/minute if pop-up captions are used instead of roll-up captions.
TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR CAPTIONING
Our encoder (hardware which adds the captions on line-21) uses component video in/out.
Source: DV, DVcam, DVCpro25, DVD and master to DVcam or BetaSP.
We can also master to DVD.
Add
Captions to streaming video on the web!
(Windows Media Video, Quicktime, Flash)
(We can now create OPEN CAPTIONED files for
streaming) 05/09
You put the video on
your server and we create the companion captioning file(s) for the player.
Take a look at our
demo using the Windows Media Player: (you need to turn captions ‘on’ on the
WMP)
(“Right-click and
“open in new window”) Do not double-click here.
Run
Windows Media Player with demo
(works with vista)
Run Video on IE page using
the Windows Media Player.

$5 per minute of
video; client supplies video file and a script file.
Add $2/minute if word-for-word script
is not supplied. :30 TV spots $25.

word-for-word script
is not supplied.)
Add
Subtitles to DVDs using DVDStudioPro
Adding subtitles to
a DVD you create in DVDStudioPro is not fun. DVDStudioPro includes a subtitle editor but the process of
using it is painfully slow. The
process: you create a subtitle block, set the in/out timecode points, check the
sync, then move onto the next subtitle block. We just did the subtitling for a
20-minute DVD – it contained 316 subtitle blocks!
A better and more
cost effective way is for you to FTP us your videos in mp4, we create a STL
subtitle file which you import onto a subtitle track. You still have to make
minor adjustments to some of the text blocks. You have the same options as if
you had manually created the subtitles; font, font size, color, position, and
timecode in/out points.
We have a MAC with DVDStudioPro
so that we can fully test the STL file before sending it to the client. We are a PC shop but purchased this system
because there are so many horror stories on the Internet concerning DVDStudioPro
and subtitles.
If you have an
interest in this service, email me and I’ll email you a ‘test’ STL file with
instruction on how to place it on the subtitle track. You can use any video,
the demo just illustrates how easy it is to use an STL subtitle file.
$5 per minute of
video; client supplies mp4 file and a script file. (lower $$$ 4/09)
$50 minimum.
“Do
your own Captioning”
(units now
in-stock!)
ADDrollupCC (post-production only)
$2,200 (hardware & software)
This
closed-captioning system integrates into your editing system and adds ‘rollup’
type captions to the video you produce. ADDrollupCC was designed to meet
the closed-caption needs of a church, 30-minute infomercials, or in-house
training videos. ADDrollupCC adds line-21 closed-captions as you copy
the video from your EditingSystem/Deck to your Record Deck.
ADDrollupCC includes a professional line-21 closed-caption
encoder manufactured by Link Electronics; encoder supports composite, s-vhs,
and component video. The encoder connects between your EditingSystem/Deck and
your Record Deck.
To download ADDrollupCC
Demo, right click and do a 'Save Target As',

time stamped file for ‘draft copy’; call for rates)

“VHS videotapes used in the Classroom”
This
unique college/university service was designed to make existing VHS videos in
your school’s library accessible to a deaf/hoh student. Client sends us a
non-captioned VHS videotape and we return it unaltered plus an open-captioned
DVD. You can use this DVD to make VHS copies.
Cost is $4 per video minute which includes transcribing, videotape; add $15 for shipping.
We use roll-up type captions; “The History Channel”
uses this format for their evening programming.
Thus, a 30-minute video is exactly $135 ($4*30 plus $15).
The captions roll-up on the top of the screen OR on the bottom of the screen.
