I have developed a course where a subcontractor records voice-over and will deliver subtitles in four languages.
Which is the best format to publish the files for voice-over and subtitles so that they sync with each other automatically when you insert the files in Storyline 3? Is this possible or do you need to manually adjust captions / subtitles?
An audio file can only have one caption file associated with it.
Your sub contractor can use SRT file, you will probably have to insert the audio file 4 times and change the SRT fil, at the same time you will need triggers and variables to track which one plays.
The subtitles should use the timecode which will then be defined in the SRT.
There are best practices for how to subtitle, when items such as numbers or names are mentioned or shown on screen the subtitle should match. It iis more of a technical issue as how you will show more than one subtitle/caption with the same audio file

I have the voice for each slide in Wave and will get SRT, do you think that time code will help?

Hi Malin,
As always, Phil's nailing it in ELH!🌟
Here's a user guide on importing captions simultaneously with media. Hope this helps!
Thanks both of you! I will get back with info about the result :)
This was so easy! This was how I did it:
All the captions/subtitles was then placed exactly were the should be to match the voice-over! Simple and perfect!
Nice, Malin! Thanks for sharing that update here with us.
