FCC Requires 100% captioning starting 1/1/06.
We sell an entry level

ADDrollupCC
We add closed-captions to the video you produce
Church & 30-minute Infomercials: $200 for half-hour program.
Includes
transcribing, tape, 2nd day Fedex shipping.
We
do these a special way to reduce manpower; thus lower cost (We call it “just do
it”).
We
transcribe it, format the text, and then create the CC master.
Meets
FCC captioning requirements.

Script must be supplied on disk or emailed. Turnaround is two business days.

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 $4/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.
DV formats: we can accept DV, DVcam, DVCpro25 and master to DVcam. (all are small or large cassettes).
“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; can be upgraded to the full ADDrollupCC_TC system.
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. We suggest starting with ADDrollupCC and upgrade to
the full ADDrollupCC_TC if needed (few clients have upgraded!!!).
ADDrollupCC_TC $4,000
(hardware & software)
This system gives
you more control over the captioning process. The system requires access to
timecode which enables you to correct script/timing errors. It is a software
upgrade from ADDrollupCC.

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.
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 in/out points. You have the same options as if
you had manually created the subtitles; font, font size, color, position
(left/right/center), 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 a STL subtitle file.
$7 per minute of video; client
supplies mp4 file and a script file.
$50 minimum.
“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.
(K-12 only, we are trying a new process at a lower cost !!!) new 1/07
