Add a source video file with embedded CEA-608 captions
If a source video file already contains embedded CEA-608 closed captions, importing the
video into Compressor automatically adds the caption data to the job.
1. In Compressor, click the Add pop-up menu under the batch area, then choose
Add File.
2. In the file window that appears, select a media file that contains embedded CEA-608
closed captions, then click Add.
The batch area displays a new job, with the source video file shown above an identically
named captions file.
For information about formatting and modifying captions in Compressor, see Edit caption
properties in Compressor and Adjust caption timing in Compressor.

View caption properties in the Closed Captions inspector or Subtitles inspector
• In the Compressor batch area, select the captions filename (in the row under the
