Hi! I am very interested in exploring the new closed captioning editor and tools. Are there any video-based tutorials available? I was unsuccessful in my attempts to locate them.
My kids are like are exactly the same! They'd rather watch a five minute video than read a page of text. I get it... I hope you were able to find the information you needed.
Thanks to the assistance all of you have given me, I was able to successfully create and download an .srt file from YouTube. I imported a video and the .srt file into Storyline without issue. However, I am unable to edit the captions in Storyline. I am also not able to create them using the editor for a video without captioning., My menu bar is not the same as the one contained in the article.
I have attached my Storyline file which includes a brief screen recording of what I expected the editor to look like, as well as what it looks like for me. It also contains the two videos I am working with--one version with the .srt file, the other without.
Thank you Crystal! I thought I had updated last week. Apparently I was wrong, as I was on build 3.7xxx. I just successfully updated to the latest build and can see all of the closed captioning functionality that I was missing. Thanks again!
BTW, I love this application, this user community and the Articulate staff! I can not speak highly enough about you all!

I don't know about video tutorials, but everything you need to know is here.
Thank you for replying so quickly! I did see that, but was hoping for a quick tutorial rather than a lengthy read.

Any questions, let me know.
Hey Joy!
Arlyn's got a terrific overview video of the Closed Captions feature right here. Hopefully that will get you started!
Thank you Alyssa. That was helpful. I am looking forward to the additional, forthcoming features Arlyn mentioned, as well!

Hi there, Joy! Can you confirm what version of Storyline you’re using? Go to Help > About Storyline.
The latest build is 3.13.14869.0, so if you need to update Storyline, here's how!

Glad that worked well for you Joy. Thanks for chiming in with an update and your community praise ;)
