Captions for Publishing a Course to a Video File
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 73, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One new feature we’ve included:
Boost video accessibility by including closed captions when publishing projects as MP4 video files.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
I definitely agree with the frustration. I had a few hours of content created for a proof of concept, assuming caption production from text-to-speech was included when publishing to video. It seemed like such an obvious requirement. Only after I was ready to publish did I realize there was no such feature. I ended up uploading the videos to YouTube as unlisted and used their auto-translate future. I used YouTube studio to edit the machine generated translation, and exported it to an SRT file. All the while, I already had perfectly good closed captions sitting in Storyline that I could not use.
Please take the time to submit a feature request at https://articulate.com/support/contact/feature-request as I do not see this on the Storyline 360 roadmap at https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap.
Thanks Jim. Just submitted a formal request for automatic closed captioning feature and ability to import/export .srt files.
