Captionate 2 available from Buraks

If you do multi-lingual videos in Flash, this tool is a must-have. Point and click to add captions in any language as well as custom events that will trigger when playing back the video.

Ever seen one of those sites that show meta-information while a video is playing? Relevant links to related stories and background information can open discretely while the video is playing so that the user can explore topics they have special interest in. Captionate provides an easy to use environment for creating this kind of experiences complete with multilanguage subtitles/captions, FLV preview and a timeline where you click to add your events.

Captionate supports three data types: Markers, for simple cue points with optional labels, Captions, for captioning / subtitling optionally with multi language tracks and speakers, and (Flash 8 Video Encoder) Cue Points with name:value pair parameters.
