MovCaptioner keeps repeating a segment of the movie until you are done typing what you hear. Just hit the Return key and it will save your caption and automatically advance to the next few seconds of the movie, allowing you to zip through your captioning tasks in no time flat.
You don't need to be a QuickTime guru, either. The caption track is added automatically with the click of a button. And exporting Transcripts compiles all the captions into one concise text file, with or without timecode. If you can type, you can make your movies and YouTube videos accessible!
Already have transcripts and just need to add them as captions to your movies? MovCaptioner will allow you to import the text as captions, making the job a snap! It will also import other caption formats such as SCC, STL, XML, SRT, QT Text, and SUB to convert to other supported formats.
Now that Final Cut Pro 7 can import SCC files, creating Line 21 captions just got easier as well. Just import the SCC file MovCaptioner creates into Final Cut Pro when printing to tape and you're done!
Alert to Snow Leopard users! QuickTime X, the default QuickTime Player that is installed with Snow Leopard is not fully functional and will not work with MovCaptioner. Instead, use the QuickTime 7 installer that comes with the Snow Leopard install disk. It will install QuickTime Player 7 in your Applications/Utilities folder where MovCaptioner should be able to find it.

What's new in this version:
Final Cut Pro 7 will now import SCC files created by MovCaptoiner which can be printed directly to tape for Line 21 captions. (See Help link).
Multi-level Undo/Redo and Revert To Previous Version option
Merge Captions button will join 2 captions
Error-checking added to the SCC export to prevent timecode overlap errors
Greatly speeded up both import and export of SCC captions
Shift All Start Times will now allow larger numbers
Keyboard shortcuts for Remove Caption, Insert Caption, Split
Caption, Split To Next Caption, and Merge Captions
buttons, and keyboard shortcuts for incrementing
or decrementing the repeat interval
New option to change all timecode to 01: hr start time for broadcasting.
Fixed an issue with Split to Next button to automatically add a space between the two merged captions so words would not run together.
Fixed an issue with edited timecode that was not also updating the number of seconds from Start, crucial for some calculations.
Fixed a bug where imported SCC files where losing the 1 minute marker due to the leading hour being removed
