Video Production: Captions and Subtitles for Broadcast and DVDs

CaptionSync™ is an automated web-based captioning service that can't be beaten for simplicity and speed.  Through a web-based interface, users can quickly and easily submit their media and transcript files.  Don't have a transcript?  Simply check a box and we'll get it for you.  Minutes later standard captioning files or DVD subtitles containing accurately timed pop-on or roll-up results are returned via email.

The FCC now requires broadcasters to caption virtually 100% of their content.  With Automatic Sync Technologies, becoming compliant has never been easier, faster, or less expensive.


Customer Quote

Award Productions used AST's automated captioning system to complete a recent web captioning project.  From the start of the project until its completion AST's system made it a pain free process.  Thanks to AST's caption technologies we were able to turn around a big project in a minimal amount of time.  It was a pleasure to deal with a company that has outstanding customer service and a great product.

The Output You Need

AST has many standard output formats are available, including .SCC, .STL, and/or .TXT result files which can used in DVD authoring packages like Apple's DVD Studio Pro, Sonic's DVDit Pro, Adobe's Encore, or MediaChance's DVD Lab Pro.  We also deliver .CAP, .XMS, and/or .ASC formats to be directly imported into into CPC CaptionMaker or MacCaption, Cheetah, or RapidText (and others) for line-21 encoding.

Encoding traditional tapestock such as Beta SP, digi-Beta, or mini-DV, used to be a process that required expensive hardware or software -- until now.  AST's Digital NLE Captions now allows you submit your media electronically and get back a black MOV caption file which you pull back into your NLE such as Avid, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere, and then print-to-tape.  Contact us for more details on this post-processing option!

The Quick Turnaround You Need

CaptionSync can generate video caption files much more quickly than is possible with traditional manual captioning techniques.  If a transcript is provided with your media file, the process takes about 5 minutes; if we need to get a transcript for you, it takes about 2-3 business days (24 hour rush transcription is also available).  And of course our automated solution is available around the clock -- whenever you need it!

Cost Effective

Our automated captioning service is very cost effective, even for captioning a single program.  With volume based pricing, the unit cost drops as volume increases, so it becomes even more cost-effective to caption all your material.

Leverage Your Media Assets

In addition to captioning and subtitling for DVDs and Broadcast Video, we can also deliver files for captioning Podcasts, Streaming Media (QuickTime, Real, Window Media, and/or Flash), and YouTube at no additional cost.
