Can anyone help me please ?. I have a project that is going to involve taping and editing about six hours of seminar/classroom video, and the client has requested that we deliver the finished project with closed captioning. I know that there are some packages out there tyat can do this, so my questions are as follows:

1. Has anyone any experience/recomendations for close captioning.

2. Can anyone recommend a post house that can take my finished project and apply closed captions.

I am editing in DV Storm and shooting on a Canon XL1S

Many Thanks

Steve G

In what format will you be delivering the final video?
If it's DVD, you might be able to use the subtitling features available in most professional-grade DVD tools like DVD Workshop 2 or Encore.

Try and convince them that they want DVDs and not tape. A tape CC setup is expensive and very difficult to operate. Very expensive to have it done too.

CC on a DVD with something like Encore is much easier (so they say). I haven't had to do that yet.
