Edit Caption Workflow
Hi folks.
Has anyone else run into the problem of clicking into an imported caption in Storyline, beginning to type an edit, and then having your cursor jump to the end of the caption as you're typing so half your word is where you want it to be and the other half is at the end?
This has become a very frustrating interruption to my workflow. I'm editing hours of captions and having to click into each place I want to edit at least twice to fix errors is adding an excessive amount of unnecessary work to my day.
If anyone has any tips, tricks, or workarounds to avoid this I would be grateful to hear them.
I've run into this from time to time, but it sounds as if you're experiencing the issue all the time. If that's the case, I would reach out to Articulate and see what they can advise. Otherwise, you're probably better off by clicking at the end of the caption to start with, so the "jump" occurs when you initially start with a given caption, then relocate the cursor to where you want to really work.
Hi CatherineG!
Glad to see Joe has been helping you!
Sorry to hear that editing closed captions in Storyline has been such a pain point for you. We're currently tracking a feature request to improve the editing experience for closed captions. I've linked this discussion to the feature report, so we can notify you if this enhancement makes it to our Feature Roadmap.
