Export closed captions in bulk?
Is it possible to export closed captions in bulk? I have a course with 9 scenes, each scene at least 10-20 slides and/or layers. As you can imagine, exporting the captions slide by slide, layer by l...
It is possible! If you change the extension of a project from .STORY to .ZIP, you can extract the contents and root around in the all of the associated files, including the .VTT captions.
First thing to do is make sure you are able to see your file extensions. Open an Explorer window, go to View tab > Options > View > disable "Hide extensions for known file types"
Now that you are able to see the extension for all file types:
- Make a copy of your .STORY project file.
- Change the extension to .ZIP.
- Extract all files from your new ZIP folder.
That should leave you with a folder with the same name as the copy of your original .STORY file. Open that folder and to the subfolder named ...\story\media
Here, you will see all contents of the project's Media Library, including the .VTT captions. The only drawback here is that the file names are randomized so you'll have to match them up with the audio/video files manually.
I've screencapped the process in the video below.
Peter, this is amazing! Saved me a ton of time!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad it worked out!
