QuickTime Movie
MacCaption produces text captions for QuickTime directly from the captions in the Caption Text
Area. Choose the Export > Webcast > QuickTime option in the File Menu to export captions
for QuickTime.
MacCaption creates two files for Webcast > QuickTime: One is a file ending in ".txt" and the
other is a file ending in ".smi."
QuickTime Webcast also requires the name of a QuickTime movie to play. This movie can be
specified as the currently opened movie in MacCaption, a specific movie in the Macintosh file
system, or a default movie named 'video.mov'.
Choose the desired Font type from Display > Font before starting the following steps.
File > Export > Webcast > QuickTime
