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.
Hello,
I would also like an option to export the closed captions from the entire project at once. It is very cumbersome and time intensive to export each individual slide, let alone time them in the video. Please make this a priority!
Ditto! I too would like to be able to export ALL the captions at one time. Thank you.
Our workflow includes running audio through a 3rd party captioning program (Sonix.ai) to create an .srt. The .srt, when named the same as the audio or video, automatically uploads into Storyline with the media. I can also copy the srt text into the notes tab (still hoping for universal formatting), and then they can be "exported to Word" or File>Translations> Export to... to make transcripts for review.
Please add the ability to include CC in MP4 output. I was amazed that this wasn't an option already...
Mike, could you explain what you mean? I don't believe mp4s support closed captions; that's usually the function of the software playing the mp4. Even if you publish a captioned course as a video, you would need to pair the video with a new set of captions. The mp4, on a code level, would have no way to store the captions.
The one way I could see this kind of working is if you mean that when the trigger Player.DisplayCaptions is True, the the CCs would be burned into the footage. I did just publish a course to a video in that situation, and the CCs were not burned on.
My project published with a VTT. Is there an option to export as an srt for use in a program like Camtasia?
sorry, mis-typed, yes, vtt export from Storyline. THere are web tools for vtt to srt
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.
We really need this feature. Please add my vote to the list.
Please add this feature!
Hello Carrie and Joel!
Thanks for sharing that you’d also like to see this feature in Storyline 360.

I added your voice to this request, and you'll be among the first to know once this feature is added!
