March 17, 2008: Captionate 2.19 Beta2r4 is now available...
This is a very minor update to Beta2 that adds support for exporting TT XML times in long format.
November 23, 2007: Captionate 2.19 Beta2 is now available...
We decided to add a couple of requested features (for captioning) to the beta while still waiting for version 3. You can read the release notes for more information.
August 29, 2007: Captionate 3 further delayed...
As most of you probably noticed, we weren't able to deliver version 3 in early August as we have hoped. At this time, we won't be quoting an estimated release date; we are working on version 3 and we will have it, when we have it. We are sorry for any inconvenience. For working with Flash CS3's FLVPlaybackCaptioning component, or in general, you can use version 2.19 beta - no bugs have been found with it, we just didn't want to spend our limited resources for releasing it (It lacks proper documentation but relatively small changes are clearly listed in the release notes). Thank you for your understanding.
July 11, 2007: Captionate 2.19 Beta is available...
Captionate 2.19 Beta is available now to all Captionate customers at their download URLs. This version adds some support for targeting Flash CS3's FLVPlaybackCaptioning component: TT XML export and embedded captions save and load in FLVPlaybackCaptioning format (with certain limitations). Version 2.19 will be released in a few days (depending on the feedback we receive). If you are a Captionate license owner and interested in targeting Flash CS3 FLVPlaybackCaptioning component, please test the beta version and let us know of any issues. Thanks.
July 4, 2007: Captionate 3 release is delayed...
Unfortunately we had to delay the release of Captionate 3. Currently the release is planned for the first week of August, and we also plan to release an update to Captionate 2 as fast as possible, with support for certain Flash CS3 features, in a week. We are sorry for the delay. Thank you for your understanding. Happy July 4th to all who are celebrating!

What is Captionate?
Captionate is a Windows application that embeds data into FLV (Flash Video) files. Embedded data is conveniently received at the appropriate time via callback functions (similar to onMetaData event, you receive, for example, onCaption events) while streaming the FLV file from the internet or playing it as a progressive download.
Captionate supports three data types: Markers, for simple cue points with optional labels and Captions, for captioning / subtitling optionally with multi language tracks and speakers, and (Flash 8 Video Encoder) Cue Points with name:value pair parameters.
Captionate provides an easy to use environment for entering the data, with FLV preview and a timeline.
Captionate fully supports Unicode on OSes that support it (Win2K/XP). Though Captionate can run on any Windows OS, Windows XP is recommended.
