Introducing new Closed Caption creator tool and other captioning enhancements
We are pleased to announce that we will be releasing a closed captioning creator and editor tool that will allow media owners to manually create captions for their existing and new media files on the night of December 8, 2014.
Some of the features of the captioning tool are

- Export and download created captions.
- Save drafts of captioning work to resume at a later time
