  • Patent number: 12647656
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic positioning of a closed caption in an image frame to avoid overlapping with text or graphics in the image is disclosed. A video event file includes a time code and a position of an object on at least one frame of the video file and a caption event file that includes a time code and a corresponding caption are provided. A captioning engine determines an overlap between the time codes of the video event and the caption and compares the position of the graphic to a default position of the caption. A positioning engine applies the caption to a selected position on the image that does not interfere with the graphic if an overlap occurs between the time codes and the positions of the video event and the caption. A video output outputs a modified video file with the applied captions.
