MovCaptioner logo

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 clicking the Transcript button compiles all the captions into one concise text file. If you can type, you can make your movies 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!

Note from the developer: The videos on this page are a bit out of date. I have added so many enchancements that I have not been able to keep the videos current. They should still give you a good idea how easy it is to use MovCaptioner, however. I will try to update them soon. Thanks for giving MovCaptioner a try.

"How can I make my captioned movies play
on an iPod Video?"

iPod Videos do not support text tracks per se. However, there is an easy work-around. First change the default location of the caption track (Edit menu in MovCaptioner) to the bottom portion of the movie to maintain the movie's aspect ratio. Then click the Embed Captions button in MovCaptioner to add the captions. Once your captions are in place you have one more step to do. Go to the File menu in QuickTime Pro and choose "Export..." From there choose the "Movie to MPEG-4" option. What this will do is to combine the video track with the caption track so it will play on the iPod and not get stripped off. It will also save your movie as a ".mp4" file which is perfect for iPod Videos.
