Preserving captions while re-editing an XDCam master….
I have a client that has a completed, captioned program on XDCam disc. They would like to replace a commercial spot in the show with a new sponsor. From what I remember, FCP 7 doesn’t currently have a way to preserve captioning when editing with a captioned master unless additional software is purchased.
Am I on the right track or way off-base?
Thanks

Hi Dan,
Sorry for the late reply. You’re correct that it can’t be done with FCP alone. However this is easily done with MacCaption. MacCaption can extract the closed captions from the source MXF, and automatically conform them to match your FCP edit decision list (XML) without having to re-do the captions.See: https://cpcweb.com/hdtv/assemble.htm
And: https://cpcweb.com/hdtv/xdcam.htmIf this is a one time need, CPC can do it for you as a service rather than selling you the software. Please feel free to contact us for more details if you’re interested.
Hope this helps,
