Encoder Versions of MacCaption & CaptionMaker - Encoding only software

The Encoder versions do not have any capability to prepare time stamped caption files from raw script. You have to get a prepared time stamped caption file from a different source (e.g. CPC *.cap, DVD *.scc, Cheetah *.cap or *.asc etc.), and then use the Encoder versions to encode captions on the video. Click Win or Mac to see the capabilities of Encoder versions. For more details, click on software_encoders

Since 1986, when CPC developed the world’s first simultaneous closed captioning & teleprompting software, CPC has been the captioning software leader.

In 2003 CPC introduced a patented (#6,895,166) software encoder for the Mac and Windows. This eliminated the need for expensive hardware encoders, and streamlined work-flow.

In 2009 CPC released captioning software for the Matrox® MXO2 and AJA® KONA, cutting HD and SD captioning costs by about 50%, and streamlining work-flow even further.

Today’s feature-packed line of over ten captioning software products is designed to meet your captioning needs.
