Capturing and inserting closed captioning data in digital video

A method for processing digital video, the method comprising:

• receiving a first high definition (“HD”) digital video comprising video data and closed captioning data;
• extracting video data and closed captioning data from said first HD digital video;
• storing said extracted closed captioning data;
• editing said extracted video data;
• providing sequences of said video data, said edited video data, and said extracted closed captioning data;
• receiving edited closed captioning data based on said sequences of said video data and said edited video data;
• and
• defining a second HD digital video based on said edited video data and said edited closed captioning data.

A method for processing digital video, the method comprising:

• editing video data;
• retrieving closed captioning data;
• defining a mapping relationship between said edited video data and said closed captioning data;
• and
• defining a high definition (“HD”) digital video based on said edited video data and said closed captioning data.

A method for processing digital video, the method comprising:

• selecting a set of video clips from a storage;
• applying one or more editing operations to the selected video clips to generate a composite video clip, wherein at least one of the selected video clips has associated closed captioning data;
• merging the composite video clip with the closed captioning data for the selected video clips to produce a high definition (HD) digital video stream;
• and
• outputting the HD digital video stream.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a media-editing application that when executed by at least one processing unit processes digital video, the media-editing application comprising:

• a capture module for (i) receiving a high definition (HD) digital video stream that comprises a sequence of digital video pictures, wherein a plurality of the digital video pictures in the sequence has associated closed captioning data in a first format in the HD digital video, and (ii) extracting the closed captioning data from the HD digital video stream;
• a set of storages for storing (i) the digital video pictures as a video clip and (ii) the extracted closed captioning data in a second format that is different from the first format;
• and
• an editing module for (i) performing editing operations on the digital video pictures and (ii) generating a new digital video clip.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a media editing application that when executed by at least one processing unit processes digital video, the media editing application comprising sets of instructions for:

• receiving a high definition (“HD”) digital video comprising video data and closed captioning data that is stored in a first format in the HD digital video;
• extracting the closed captioning data from the HD digital video;
• and
• storing the extracted closed captioning data in a second format that is different from the first format.

• storing the extracted closed captioning data;
• editing the extracted video data;
• providing sequences of the video data, the edited video data, and the extracted closed captioning data;
• receiving edited closed captioning data based on the sequences of the video data and the edited video data;
• and
• defining another HD digital video based on the edited video data and the edited closed captioning data.
