Automatic Import of Closed Captions for Media - Not working as expected
Hey team
We are producing _a lot_ of modules at the moment and each has closed captions with sound.
The documentation says that if we named our closed caption (.srt) files with the same name as ...
Hi - I have just noticed something, regarding Caption behaviour:
I imported a video file and manually imported the captions into Storyline (which didn't display).
I then went to 'Edit Captions' and within that window, chose to delete the captions (which were not visible) and I got a system warning message to check I wanted to remove the captions.
Having deleted them, I saved and closed the Caption editing window.
However, I then selected 'Add Captions' from the ribbon, to reopen the Caption editing window - and from within that, selected to 'Import Captions' again - at which point I again got a warning message that I would be overwriting the existing captions (which I had deleted) - BUT, the original caption boxes appeared for the first time on the editing ribbon (but without any text appearing), with the correct time settings for each:
This is the first time there has been any visible evidence that Storyline is aware of something loaded in a caption format - albeit that the caption boxes are still not populated with any text.
Thoughts?
