Two flavors – Complete and Encoding only
MacCaption comes in two flavors, MacCaption and MacCaption Encoder, and they are available
for most versions of MacCaption.
MacCaption is a caption/subtitle editor and closed caption/subtitle encoder. It allows you to do
a complete captioning/subtitling job from start to finish. It accepts text from a variety of sources.
MacCaption lets you edit, position, and synchronize the captions/subtitles with video using time
code. It then combines the captions/subtitles with the video as open captions, closed captions or
subtitles, and allows you to save them in a number of different formats. MacCaption supports
drop frame as well as non-drop frame NTSC/PAL video.
MacCaption Encoder does not
have caption/subtitle preparation and editing capabilities. It is
closed caption/subtitle encoding software only. It requires a prepared caption/subtitle file from a
different source such as CPC CaptionMaker (full version), MacCaption (full version) or other
caption preparation software. After you import a prepared file, you can encode captions/subtitles
to a video as open captions, closed captions or subtitles, and it allows you to save the file in a
number of different formats. MacCaption Encoder supports drop frame as well as non-drop
frame NTSC/PAL video.
