Exporting all captions
I have created a Storyline360 file, and each slide has its own audio and closed captioning created within Articulate. I can export the closed captions for individuals slides but can I export all captions for the whole file?
Also when I publish to video the captions don't appear to come with it, and I then need to attach a caption file?
I am VERY new to this, and hope some can help.
A workaround is to export to video, which creates a .vtt. Open the vtt in Word, then Find/Replace using "00:*^13" (or appropriate) to remove the timestamp. Still needs a little formating and paragraph removal, but works relatively quickly. Good luck
Thank you kindly for this helpful tip. I did not know about this at all.

Perfect! Thanks 😊
Please add my vote to add a feature that allows export of ALL close captions in the project. This is a client request.
Please add this feature asap!
Feature request #03405753
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 73, we’ve included important fixes and new features!
One new feature we’ve included:
Boost video accessibility by including closed captions when publishing projects as MP4 video files.
To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Also a vote from me to export all captions from Storyline - that would save a lot of time!
Thanks for generating this discussion Katie. I've just been trying to work out the same thing. It's definitely a high priority feature for me because this is a lot of work to export individually.
I will also add my vote to the feature of exporting all captions from Storyline. It is a lot of work doing it one by one, so I really would like this feature in Storyline.
Storyline now creates the .srt with mp4 so YouTube and others can use for close captions.
Welcome to the community, Pia! 😊
Those are excellent questions, and I'm happy to shed more light:
- Export a single caption file for the entire course: Currently, there isn't a way to export every closed caption at once in Storyline. You'll need to export the captions for each audio file individually.
- Include closed captions in the published MP4 file: When publishing for video, closed captions are not included since there are no player elements.
We're tracking requests for both features, so I'll surface your post to my team and notify you of any changes. Here's a glimpse into how we manage feature ideas.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
I would like to add a twist to this, what we need is a batch converter from .srt to vtt.
If that would be available in storyline would be great and to have a option in rise , directly when importing... that would be amazing.
Clearly the function is already there, sort of, in storyline and needs a tweak in the implementation.
