I already have a complete exact transcript of the narration before I import my audio files into Storyline 3. Does anyone have any tricks for getting this transcript imported easily into closed captions without having to copy/paste sentence by sentence into the editor? Is there a way to approximate in advance so that all I have to do is make adjustments to timing?
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are working on.
What is the file type of the transcript that you have? You can import your caption files directly into Storyline 3 vs. creating them since you already have them in hand.
I assume you have a Word document with the text and one ( or more ) audio files with the audio.
Just checked in AfterEffects if i could manage it...and it seems to work..so if you have a small audio and text...i can do a test..
If that works either you can get the scripts needed...or i will do it for you... ( if not too much work ;-)
Script i use in AE is: textsyncr https://aescripts.com/textsyncr/ It generates layermarkers and textlayers in AfterEffects for audio that has a accompanying textfile. So then you get text layers timed properly ( might need adjustment offcourse ) and when your fine with the endresult in AE with a custom script called 'subtitle_export.jsx' you can export all textlayers from a AE timeline to a srt file.

Importing Closed Captions for Narration and Videos
I have a Word document. I'm looking for a tool or shortcut to convert to a .srt or .vtt or .sbv or .sub file.

Adding that file...
Will gladly do a small test...
