Correct Captions in Bulk - Replace
Hello, Question: Is there a way to update/fix captions in bulk, like using the Microsoft classic CTRL+F > Replace? Context: I am almost done with a large project in which I created the captions us...
Hi GuilhermeTeixei I haven't found a documented method for this, but I have found a good solution that I have used in the past.
The pre-requisite for this task is to have access to software that allows you to perform Find and Replace across multiple files in a folder. I use VS Code.
- Make a copy of your Storyline file
- Make sure you really have made a copy of your Storyline file!!
- With the copy of your Storyline file, change the file extension from ".story" to ".zip"
- Now using WinRaR or similar, extract/unzip the archive to a folder.
- If you then navigate to "story\media" you will find all of your ".srt" files
- You can then open this folder in the software you are using for Find and Replace, in my case "VS Code". I then complete the find and replace across the files.
- Once done, you then need to zip the package back up, from this level (select all files, and zip):
- Once you have a zip file again, simply change the ".zip" extension back to ".story" and you should be good to go.
That's a lot, eh? I will try and post the outcome here. Thank you, SamHill !
It is GuilhermeTeixei. It would be a great improvement to prove F & R functionality for captions from within the Storyline environment.
