Captions not showing Up in Storyline 360?
I have checked out other discussions on closed captions, but don't know how to solve my problem. I downloaded a YouTube video (as an mp4 file), and trimmed it to the one minute I need. I initially t...
Hi Karen,
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 86, we’ve included important fixes and new features.
One of the new features we’ve included:
- Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
When I opened your story file and manually inserted the captions directly in Articulate, the captions showed up. This was in Preview mode of the entire slide, not just previewing the video. I don't think the button for captions is automatically turned on in the Player, so you'll have to check the player settings. If you want the captions to play on that slide as soon as the video starts, then put this trigger on the video slide:
Set Player.DisplayCaptions to value True When the timeline starts on this slide
Note: the captions for the video do not appear directly in the video, but towards the bottom of the slide.
If you have already added captions in Camtasia, you should be able to export your captions as an SRT file and import them into Articulate. I found this article that may be helpful.
