Ripple delete captions

[Bob Woodhead]

Lol, wise words indeed!

So there’s actually some method to my madness; what we have are live webcasts that need transcription post live for legal review. Legal prefers ‘cleaned up’ transcripts, so a bit of $ is spent on this. Legal may or may not have any edits, and sometimes it’s as simple as 1 sentence. Sometimes it’s a chainsaw. 😉 But since the transcription can also be caption files, I’ve thought it a waste to pay for transcription, make a few simple edits, then pay once more to caption the final program. Why not simply edit the captions along with the legal cuts?

But it needs to be a fairly simple process, or as much $ will be wasted in “post trauma”as re-doing the CC. FCPX of course answer that quite easily. PPro, with Andreas’ tool, hopefully can as well!

We are developing a New Captions Workflow which is now available in Public Beta through your CC Desktop app. With this new workflow, you will be able to trim and ripple delete caption blocks like regular media in a Subtitle track. Here is a lot more detail about how that works:

In the meantime, you can use Essential Graphics text layers to make your own subtitle graphics and edit them like any other track item in the timeline.

Premiere Pro beta version adds a caption track where your caption editing functionality works just like a video track.

Great to hear!
