Save/Save As
Save/Save As options handle only MacCaption files. To open and save any other kind of file, you
must use Import/Export options.
Saving files in a non-MacCaption file format (e.g. text or MS Word file) will still set the name of
the file as "Untitled". Also when you open a non-MacCaption file and if you have the Auto Save
option on, MacCaption will prompt you to save the file under the name “untitled.cca” in
MacCaption format every few minutes (according to the AutoSave time interval).

• Drag a movie from the Desktop into the movie display area. To open the movie as well
as extract the captions from the movie release the mouse midway between the movie

otherwise a time of 00:00:00:00 will be used. To change a movie's starting time,
