In today's fast-paced media landscape, efficient and accurate closed captioning and subtitling are no longer optional—they're essential. But what happens when you discover errors or need to make updates to your captions, yet your current system lacks the sophisticated tools to fix them easily? The last thing you want is to invest in a completely new, standalone captioning platform that disrupts your established workflows, forces you to re-upload massive video files, or requires managing an entirely separate set of user permissions.
This is precisely where Closed Caption Creator steps in. We understand the pain points of needing precise caption control without the headache of an entire system overhaul. Closed Caption Creator offers a robust, versatile solution designed to integrate effortlessly and simply into your existing workflows. We plug directly into your current setup, meaning you can enhance your captioning capabilities without having to manage a completely new platform, re-upload media, or juggle different permission sets.
Used by the world's largest broadcasters, including Discovery, NBC, Fox, Sky UK, and Rogers, Closed Caption Creator is a trusted name in the industry. Available as both a web and desktop application, it ensures compatibility across all operating systems, providing flexibility whether you're working in the office or on the go.
Closed Caption Creator understands that every organization has unique requirements. That's why we offer a variety of integration options, ensuring a perfect fit for any existing application or workflow.
Our Work Order API provides a streamlined method for creating projects dynamically. With just a simple link and a bit of JSON, you can set up detailed project descriptions, including track information and publish destinations. This API supports importing over 30 different formats (such as SRT, VTT, XML, TTML, and JSON) and allows media to be provided from cloud buckets, YouTube, or Vimeo, ensuring a seamless start to your captioning projects. Publish destinations can be secured with basic authentication, providing an additional layer of workflow control.
