Add a Caption Manually

With manual captioning, you type each caption into the scripting text box and set Caption Points to determine the caption beginning and ending.

Before creating manual captions:

Complete all necessary editing to the Timeline.
Become familiar with the audio. You may need to listen to the audio files several times before entering the text into the scripting box.

When you add a caption manually, you need to replay the clips on the Timeline repeatedly to hear the audio and simultaneously enter the text into the scripting box.

To add a caption manually

In the Task List, click the Captions link.
The Open Captions page appears. Position the seek bar on the Timeline to the location to begin captioning.
Click Add . A caption point appears in the pane beside the text box.

Type the text to appear in the caption. The caption text appears in the Preview Window as you type.
Caption text extending beyond three lines of text turns red. Red indicates the text is not included in the caption and will not appear in the video. To include the red text, place the text cursor before the first red word and click the Add button to create another capture point.
Click the Play button. When you read a point in playback where you want to insert a new caption point, click the Pause button.
Place the cursor at the end of the Caption text box.
Click Add.
A new caption point appears. Type the text to appear in the caption.
Repeat for all the caption text.
Click Finished.

Captions show on screen in the video until a new caption is entered. To not show any captioning for a portion of the video, insert a blank caption.
