Export captions in Compressor
In a standard Compressor batch, the transcode preset and captions format you choose determines how Compressor outputs a job with captions. Only CEA-608 closed captions can be embedded in your video output, and only the Apple Devices, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and QuickTime Movie preset formats support captions exporting.
Embed CEA-608 captions in a transcoded file
In the Compressor batch area, select an output row from a job with a CEA-608 captions file.
In the General inspector, make sure “Embed CEA-608 closed captions” is selected in the Captions area.
Click Start Batch.
Your transcoded file will have captions data embedded in the video.
Note: iTT subtitles and SRT subtitles can’t be embedded in a video file, so it’s not recommended that you use this format unless you’re creating an iTunes Store package.
Output a separate captions file with your transcoded file
Select a job with any type of captions file in the Compressor batch area.
In the Job inspector, select “Save captions to disk” in the Action area.
Note: You can’t export captions if the job already has a job action assigned to it.
Click Start Batch.
