Transcribe Caption CS6

Hello

I couldn't locate 'reply all' so I will post the final comment here.

I want to thank everyone for their help. This material is important presented in this forum thread. 
I now have a complete understanding of how this can be done correctly and how it can be implement using several approaches. 

I do have Premiere Pro CC installed - and now can begin to work with captions.

If there is a method to close this thread that ability is not visible on this page.

Gratitude for your help.

Thanks!

For transcribing I would recommend looking into programs more specifically catered to transcribing, such as Subtitle Workshop. It provides video, audio and subtitles in one screen and works pretty efficiently. Not exactly the answer you were asking for, but I hope it helps!

First, keep in mind that Youtube is not really incorporating a caption file "INTO" the video; it is providing a transcription that is essentially a sidecar file that can be turned on and off. It is similar to closed captions, but different, because it is not embedding the captions into the video stream.

As Kevin says, CS6 won't do what you want. CS5.5 added the ability to “attach a closed caption data file to a sequence and display the closed captions in the Program Monitor and through Firewire DV output.” Here's the help file info for CS6:

“Attach closed caption files (CS5.5 and later)
You can attach a closed caption data file to a sequence and display the closed captions in the Program Monitor. The attachable file types are .mcc and .scc for HDTV (CEA-708) and SD (CEA-608) respectively.
Note: Closed captioning files should be prepared with timecode to match the sequence in Premiere Pro.
To attach a closed caption data file to a sequence:
Select the sequence, and then select Sequence > Closed Captioning > Attach File.
To display attached closed captions in the Program Monitor panel, go to the panel menu and select "Enable" under the "Closed Captioning Display" option. To display closed captioning on external hardward, configure closed captioning display in the hardware monitor’s settings.
The only native output workflow for closed captioning is embedding .scc (SD) closed captioning data when authoring DVD's in Encore CS5. For details, see this page in Encore Help.
The following features are not supported when using closed captioning in Premiere Pro:
Adobe Premiere Pro does not create closed caption data. Closed captioning is not preserved when nesting sequences.
Dynamic link will not preserve closed captioning data when sending a sequence to Encore. Changing the timecode start time is not honored when attaching files to a sequence.
Premiere Pro does not embed the closed captioning data in exported files. Third party capture cards may not support closed captioning.
HDTV (CEA-708) .mcc data cannot be output. It can only viewed natively.
For more information about attaching a closed caption data file to a Premiere Pro sequence, see this video by Video2Brain. See this video tutorial on Adobe TV by Karl Soule about how to attach, preview, and export closed captions.
See this post on the Premiere Pro Work Area blog for more information about closed caption data and Premiere Pro.”
 

Ezad,

Premiere Pro CS6 can only import .mcc and .scc files. More info here. Some advice though. If you are going to develop products for Premiere Pro, I would recommend you stick with current versions.

Thanks,
Kevin
