Closed Captioning with Vegas Pro 13

[Russ Sturgeon]

I have recently had a battle with my broadcaster. I assured them that Sony confirmed that Vegas was “uplifting the 608 captions to a 708 container”. Last year they were willing to FIX my MXF files that did not have valid 708 captions using the SCC file that Vegas created, this year they told me they would no longer do that. I took my files to another national broadcaster tech center to verify that my Sony Vegas Pro 13 MXF file had 608 and 708 compatible captions. They were able to show me that the 708 container actually contained random garbage. I am currently having a caption service convert my SCC file to an MCC file, and then using Adobe Premier Pro CC to encode the caption file into the MXF file. Adobe Premier Pro will show you the good data in the 608 container and the garbage in the 708 container. Waiting on a response from Sony.
