Product Description:

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!

Let me know if you run into any troubles, please, and thanks for trying MovCaptioner! If you've tried it in the past but it tells you your trial has expired, drop me a line and I can get you a few days extension.

What's new in this version:

Added a multi-level Undo/Redo and Revert To Previous Version option
Added a Merge Captions button to join 2 captions
Added error-checking to the SCC export that automatically checks for and adjusts timecode to prevent timecode overlap errors that are somewhat common to SCC caption files, making sure each caption has enough time to be buffered and displayed.
Greatly speeded up both import and export of SCC captions
Shift All Start Times (under the Edit menu) will now allow up to a 3 digit number in front of the decimal.
Added keyboard shortcuts for Remove Caption (CMD+J), Insert Caption (CMD+K), Split Caption (CMD+L), Split To Next Caption (CMD+;), and Merge Captions (CMD+') buttons, also available via the Edit menu. Also added keyboard shortcuts for incrementing or decrementing the repeat interval value (CNTL+LEFT/RIGHT).
New option under the edit menu 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. Any extra space will be deleted.
Fixed an issue with edited timecode that was not also updating the number of seconds from Start, which is crucial for some calculations.
Fixed a bug where imported SCC files where losing the 1 minute marker due to the leading hour being removed for some imported captions.

If MovCaptioner should crash for you there is an easy fix... - Version: 3.2, 11/3/2009 07:48PM PST

With the new undo/redo MovCaptioner is supposed to create a folder in your MovCaptioner folder called "Temp". It should create this folder on its own to hold scratch files as you work, then it will delete them all when you're done. If it does not create the folder, it may cause the problem. Make sure that your MovCaptioner folder is in your main hard drive's Applications folder, then simply create a folder called "Temp" in your MovCaptioner folder. That should solve the problem. Opening a previously saved project should also create this folder. I've added this folder to the new zip file so it should be there in the future to prevent this.
