Closed Captions Flashing
Got a closed captions mystery.
I've added closed captions to a video in Articulate 360. Once published, they appear at the correct times, but they flash on and off the screen with a strobe effect.
The variable Player.Display Captions is set to true.
Any ideas? Project attached.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to update this discussion to share that we no longer see this issue where closed captions are blinking in a published video when using the latest version of Storyline 360, Build 3.61.27106.0.
If you or others are experiencing any additional issues using the latest update, please contact our support team directly.
Hello,
I have just published my content to the video format from SL360 v, 3.62.27443 and the captions are still blinking. Display.Captions trigger set to true. Is there any solution to it?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Hello Beata!
I've replied to your post here.
Just to add my work around here. I had this issue with flashing captions after uploading a video, editing captions, saving, and then clipping the last 30 seconds off of the video.
When I re-uploaded the video and clipped 30 sec off before captions were added or edited, then the strobing captions effect did not occur.
