A Sweet Performance by the Sister of the Bride

Posted on 1/3/2012 1:28:00 AM

At Christine and Paul's wedding, the sister of the bride performed a song written by herself. Closed captioning is included. Make sure to click on the "CC" icon to view the lyrics.


 
The close captioning is prepared by scrubbing the timeline in Premiere. Then clicked on the Preview window, copy and paste to an Excel spreadsheet.
 
ABC
100;00;30;0000;00;33;04When I think about the days,
200;00;33;1000;00;36;13In the Minnesota haze.
300;00;36;2500;00;40;16Snowmen and snowball fights.
400;00;40;0900;00;43;16Bundled up for the freezing nights.

 
However, Premiere/Encore Timecode format is different than in YouTube. For example,
00;00;43;16 <-- Premiere Timecode
00:00:43,16 <-- YouTube Timecode
Thus, the Excel REPLACE function is used to convert the format. For example, the cell in A1 can be converted from Premiere Timecode to YouTube timecode like this
REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(A1, 3, 1, ":"),6,1,":"),9,1,",")
The last step is to create a YouTube CC Text Script looks like this

Bundled up for the freezing nights.

 
You can also use the same Excel spreadsheet to generate Text script for Encore DVD/BluRay authoring. Please refer to the blog post Adding Closed Captioning to Videos for more information.
