NEW IN RISE 360: Closed Captioning

We’ve just released a powerful new feature in Rise 360: closed captioning. Now you can upload closed caption files to videos to make your content more accessible.  It’s easy to add closed captions...

I have a video I created in Adobe Premiere that has captions.  I would like them to be closed captions but .vtt is not an output option for closed captioning in Adobes Media Encoder.  Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Hi Shelley,

I export captions from Adobe Premiere as a .srt file, I then  use this website https://www.webvtt.org/ to convert .srt formatted text to .vtt format.

You don't need to download anything, you open the .srt file in a text editor, copy the text, paste the .srt format text into the website's text entry box and click convert.

It gives you a second text box with the .vtt format text you can then select and paste into another text document and save with the .vtt file format.

I've successfully used the text it outputs as .vtt files with Rise and it shows as Closed Captions with no problem.

Regards

David

    You're the best!  Of course after you answered I scrolled up and saw where you had answered the same question before!

    I was able to get it to work fine and with further reading of your posts, I was able to go in and edit the file to adjust the box position.

    Thank you David!
