Add Captions using the Media 100
To superimpose closed caption data onto an actual video image, place the QuickTime movie
onto a video track. Place a Picture-In-Picture effect onto the imported clip, set the PIP Size to
100 and V Position to 479. This PIP effect positions the closed caption control codes that are
located towards the bottom of the QuickTime image file to line 1 of the NLE image. Line 1 of
the NLE image corresponds to Line 21 of the VBI output signal. This has been found to be the
most reliable way to superimpose clean image data onto line 21 of the VBI. Using the
Preferences NLE Tab you can change the image file data generation lines.
Add Captions using Pinnacle Systems
(TARGA 2000 RTX, DTX, PRO and SDX and TARGA 1000 PRO)
To superimpose close-caption data onto an actual video image the QuickTime movie should be
created with the Animation codec at 30 fps and Millions of Colors+. Place the QuickTime movie
onto its own video track above your background image. Highlight the clip, select Clip: Video:
Transparency and select Key Type - Alpha Channel.
