  Need to convert a .scc file to a .cap file

  Posted by Bill Johns on January 26, 2014 at 11:21 pm

  Can anyone out there convert my .scc file (that Sony Vegas created) into a .cap file that my distributor needs?

  I can’t really afford the MacCaption software, but am willing to pay for the conversion.

  Thanks in advance.

  You know that Vegas can produce four types of captioning. The CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4. I know that PBS uses the CC1 but I’m wondering if one of these other types would work for your client as a substitute?
  I’m curious, how are you getting captioning on to your program in Vegas. Do you use “Caption Assistant”?

  Nah, I just sat and copied the dialogue from the script and pasted it into the comment window of the caption pop-up. Sony then formatted it. Worked great.

  The distributor was saying that an scc file is for DVD and the .cap is for the SR tape. I’ll try doing a sample as you suggested in the other formats and see if one of them will suffice.

  Thanks for responding!

  As an update, the lab who’s doing the QC check on my film is going to get the .cap file made for me, so ignore this post.
