Frequently Asked Questions
What is Scenarist Closed Caption?
SCC (Scenarist Closed Caption) is a professional format used for creating Line 21 closed captions, which are the standard for broadcast television in North America. SCC files contain not just the text but also precise data on screen positioning (including roll-up and pop-on styles) and color, conforming to the CEA-608 standard. It's a critical format for broadcast accessibility compliance.
What is the difference between open captions and closed captions?
Open captions are 'burned' into the video itself and cannot be turned off. Closed captions (like those from an SCC file) are a separate stream of data that the viewer can choose to enable or disable from their television or player.
Can I use SCC files for web video?
While it's possible to convert SCC to a web-friendly format like VTT, SCC itself is not designed for the web. It is a broadcast-specific format. Web platforms have their own standards for accessibility and captions, with VTT being the most common.
How accurate is the AI transcription?
Our AI transcription service provides highly accurate results, with precise timing and synchronization for SCC files. The system is trained on millions of hours of content to ensure professional-quality output.
Can I edit the subtitles after generation?
