Setting up captions in AWS Elemental MediaConvert jobs

To include captions in your job, follow these steps in the order listed:

1. If your input captions are a timecode-based sidecar captions format, such as SCC or STL, set the timecode source settings.

2. Gather required captions information.

3. Create input captions selectors.

4. Set up captions in outputs.

Tip

You can use Amazon Transcribe with MediaConvert to generate captions and include them in your output. For more information, see AWS VOD captioning using Amazon Transcribe in AWS Samples on GitHub.
