CCaption Description File – Import Only
You can import a text file with time codes originally created for CCaption software. The
following are examples of closed caption description files:
Lines that start with ** are comments. Lines that start with * are command directives.
Example #1
** This is a complete description file to generate
** 2 line Roll-up closed captions with a delay of
** 1 second between each caption. The closed captions
** are left justified on row 15 at column 4.
*NonDropFrame
*RollUp2
*Left 15,4

There is no automatic text wrap around when generating Roll-up captions, so be sure to have a
return character in your closed caption description files at each place you want the text to Roll-
up. The maximum number of characters that can be displayed by a closed caption decoder is 32
characters per line. Television closed caption decoders do not wrap around.
Example #2
** This is a complete description file to generate a
** Pop-on closed caption sequence with time code
** positioning for each caption.
