About Us
Industry leader in closed captioning and subtitling services.
"...a captioning service that could do more than just put words on the screen."
Cinepros began in 2006. Most TVs were still 4×3 standard definition, YouTube was launched, and Google was still a noun.
Elliot Roberts was a project manager at CPC (Computer Prompting & and Captioning Company, makers of MacCaption and CaptionMaker software). The captioning and subtitling industry was still a light stream compared to deluge of activity that would come as a result of the conversion to digital television, Netflix, YouTube, and the vast expansion of broadcast channels that will be available.

- .scc
- .srt
- .cap
- .xml
- .stl
Elliot wanted to use his technical knowledge and as well industry savviness to start a captioning service that could do more than just put words on the screen. He wanted to offer more than just service — we wanted to offer solutions
Since 2006, Cinepros has offered their services to Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, Fox Sports, as well as some of the largest video distributors in the country. We work with a broad network of highly-qualified translators to offer cinema-quality foreign language subtitling.
