Click the file's name to open the file level actions menu.

 

Step 2- Click Quick Download Arrow

Click the arrow to the right of the Download button.

 

Step 3- Download the QT Format

Click the QT caption format and it will download to your computer immediately.

Step 4- Open Video in QuickTime Pro

Open the video file in QuickTime Pro. (If you don’t have QuickTime Pro you can purchase it from Apple for $29.95.)

 

Step 5- Open Captions in QuickTime Pro

Using QuickTime Pro, open the captions file that you downloaded from your 3Play Media account. This will open a separate QuickTime window that shows just your captions without the video. Copy the captions to the clipboard by clicking Edit > Select All and then Edit > Copy.

 

Step 6- Add Captions to the Video

Go back to the QuickTime window with the video and make sure that the playhead is at the beginning. Add the captions by clicking Edit > Add to Movie. After doing this close the QuickTime window with the captions.

 

Step 7- Adjust the position of the captions

The default position of the captions is above the video. To move the captions below the video, navigate to Window > Show Movie Properties > Text Track > Visual Settings and change the vertical offset.

 

Step 8- Note Video Pixel Dimensions

You’ll need to know the pixel dimensions of your video. You can get this information by selecting Video Track > Visual Settings.

 

Step 9- Change Vertical Offset

To position the captions underneath the video, make the vertical offset equal to the height of your video. For example, if your video pixel dimensions are 640×480, you should change the offset to be 0 x 480. Once this is done close the Movie Properties window.

 

Step 10- Save the Video

Select the QuickTime window with the video and select File > Save As and select Save as a self-contained movie.
