Creating Closed Captions in Camtasia
Summary
Camtasia provides tools for you to embed closed captions in your media. This article will describe how to access and use the tool.
Instructions
Open your video in Camtasia.
In the panel on the left where you can select your media, click More at the bottom, then select Audio Effects.
From the Audio Effects menu, click and drag Captions to your media on the timeline.
You will now see a waveform view appear above the timeline. To begin editing captions, click on the waveform at the first sound. This will highlight a small amount of the waveform in purple and show a text box where you can edit your captions.
Add captions to the text box and work through the rest of your video by clicking the Next Caption arrow to the right of the replay icon.
Importing Captions
If you already have captions generated by another tool, you can import them into Camtasia by selecting File > Import > Captions... and selecting the generated caption file.
