Music Video Closed Captioning:

Essential for Modern Distribution

Why Your Music Video Needs CC

In today’s digital landscape, closed captioning isn’t just an accessibility feature—it’s a requirement for widespread distribution. Since 2005, all broadcast television content must include closed captions, displaying lyrics and spoken words alongside your visual content.

Without proper captioning, your music video won’t be considered for programming, limiting your reach and impact.

The Distribution Landscape

The media distribution landscape has expanded far beyond traditional broadcast television. Your music video needs to be ready for platforms like:

  • Streaming Services (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV)
  • Smart TV Platforms (LG, Samsung)
  • Over-the-Top (OTT) Services (Sling, Pluto)
  • Social Media Platforms

Each of these platforms either requires or strongly prefers closed-captioned content, making it an essential part of your distribution strategy.

While many delivery services offer closed captioning, their prices can strain your marketing budget. At HIP, we understand the importance of allocating your resources efficiently.
