CaptionTrack Plugin for Final Cut Pro - Professional, Easy to Use Caption Editing Tool

CaptionTrack provides broadcasters and media production companies with a highly advanced, broadcast-grade caption editing tool optimized for the Final Cut environment.

It was designed with EEG’s 25+ years experience of leadership in closed captioning, and gives editors and producers an easy-to-use and cost-effective tool for authoring, caption rework, and simultaneous timeline-based editing with video and audio tracks within the Final Cut platform.

CaptionTrack provides thorough Final Cut integration and extreme ease-of-use. The result is increased workflow efficiencies for offline caption preparation -- eliminating the need for dedicated captioning-only NLE’s.

Experience fully-integrated editing, preview, and storage of closed caption data on the timeline with CaptionTrack.

In addition, this highly flexible tool supports both full CEA-608 and CEA-708 caption export to baseband video (with a compatible SDI interface card), or direct encoding of captioning into compressed file assets with EEG’s popular CCPlay FilePro™ post production software or other stitching tools.
