Closed Captions in Rise

Hi!

We have a Rise project that includes multiple videos as steps in the lesson. Each video has an audio track and CC, but when we play the video, we have to toggle CC on for each and every video. 

Have we missed a way to toggle CC on for all videos in the lesson just once?

Also, when adding the CC, we're only adding English, so is there a way to make that selection 'sticky'?

Thanks!

    Thanks for following up, fredkoehler, and thanks to ChrisHurst-1ed0 for suggesting a possible workaround.

    Currently, closed captions need to be enabled separately for each video, and the caption language selection isn't retained when adding caption files to multiple videos.

    I've shared both of your suggestions with our product team:

    • The ability for learners to enable closed captions once and have that preference persist across videos.
    • The ability for authors to have the selected caption language remembered when uploading captions to multiple videos.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It helps our team better understand where we can improve both the authoring and learner experience.

    I think you might have to 'burn the captions in' using a tool like Premiere Pro - not ideal I know...

      Thanks for suggestion, but we'll probably just have to stay with what we have...
