Exporting all captions
I am currently updating a course by adding captions for my employer that was created before I was hired. This must have been one of the first times our voice over artist (another team member) recorded narration for us because she recorded every 1-2 sentences as a separate audio file. I normally use a third party program to automatically generate captions but due the extremely short length of the audio files, it ended up being less work to add them manually within Storyline.
But now I’m regretting this decision because we have another version of the course that requires captions which is only slightly different from the version I’ve already worked on.
If it’s still not an option to export all of the caption files at once, would it be possible to export the audio files from version one, with the captions already added, and then use those files to replace the duplicate audio ones in the second version? Would they already have captions attached or is that information not included when you export audio?

Hi Laura,
Thanks for reaching out!
Unfortunately, there isn't a way to export audio from a Storyline 360 course the way you described. If this helps, you can import slides that contain audio and closed captions from another project into the course that you are working on, and the closed captions will be carried over.
We do have a feature request open for the ability to export all captions in a course to a single file. I'll add your voice to this feature request, and we'll let you know if this makes it to our product roadmap!

Hello Laura,
Not sure if you still need this but I have a solution that extracts all captions in a Storyline course and then if needed, re-import without having to go slide-by-slide in the same course.
If you would like more information, please let me know by either a private message or reach out to me on LinkedIn.
