the Blackbird editors closed captioning
tools enable you to view and edit closed
captioning in either live or file-based
workflows this tutorial will focus on
live workflows of edit cite clipping and
editing with modifications of closed
caption content your standard editorial
tools from the source to edit will
include closed captions if the source
and edit patch are enabled if you desire
a closed caption list timeline disable
either the source or edit side closed
caption track selector prior to
performing your edit which is the same
editorial rule for all tracks phrase
caption editing from source to record
can be achieved by selecting or
searching for content in the closed
captions and dragging the caption
sentence or multiple captions into the
Edit window it's a clever way of
creating a highlights reel using the
actual text from the closed captions as
mentioned in the previous closed caption
tutorial any modifications from the
source text cascade as they are edited
to the timeline and into publish once a
clip is edited to the timeline denoted
by orange accents frame accurate editing
of video and audio is achieved through
Blackbirds
interactive trim tools if closed
captions are present through editorial
they are presented on any or all of four
caption tracks as configured blackbird
is a non-destructive editor trimming out
closed captions that were once hidden
exposes them like any other track this
works on both outgoing and incoming
video extending unexposed closed
captions occur because this is the
source incoming closed captions and
they're presented on the edit timeline
which is a unique feature to the
Blackbird editor another way of seeing
this feature on the closed caption track
is by slipping the caption
in either direction when the closed
caption track is unlocked from the other
tracks use your shift key and drag left
or right for final publishing from the
timeline or saved edit drag and drop
from the monitor or from the edit as
required for the publish as there are
numerous other methods to publish video
see the other tutorials that demonstrate
this process publish points can include
embedded closed captions into supported
video formats or closed caption sidecar
files
