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, QT Text, SRT, SUB, and SBV 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:
Fixed an error that prevented forced carriage returns (using "|" symbol)
SCC import will now support extended character set and recognize line breaks.
SCC export now supports extended character set, including umlauts, characters with accents, inverted question marks and exclamation marks, and many other special characters.
SCC import and export will now automatically calculate the buffer offset needed and adjust timecode
accordingly. May eliminate the need to manually adjust timecode using "Shift All
Timecodes" and should result in a much closer synchronization between the video and
captions.
SCC export will also try to adjust timecode if it sees an overlap occurring between the
required buffer time for one caption and the start time for the next caption. To avoid this, it
is best to keep at least a couple of seconds between captions.
