About closed captions in a video
Two boxes display closed-caption text. The SourceID box displays persistent text, while the
Main Caption box displays dynamic text. Use angled brackets to hide text, keeping the
following considerations in mind:
■
If the opening bracket is not the first character on the line, it is treated as normal text,
appearing as part of the dynamic caption content. This lets you use square brackets
around regular content, for example in a scientific formula.
■
If the closing bracket is more than two lines after the opening bracket, the text appears as
regular captions, including the brackets. This is also true if you forget to use a closing
bracket.
■
Always start the regular content following a SourceID on its own line. Text that follows
the closing bracket on the same line does not appear in either box.
Persistent content set off by square brackets
■
A line of persistent text appears until the next block of bracketed text enters the
Teleprompter. To hide an entry, leaving the SourceID box blank, enter [] on a line by
itself.
If you find persistent text distracting when you record a video, you can add it after recording.
If you do, it’s a good idea to leave blank lines where you will insert the persistent text.
