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.

This would save my team an immense amount of time since we, too, have to manually update the caption file and transcript file. The ability to export all captions into one file for revisions then importing back into SL would be life changing. PLEASE prioritize this feature!!
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.
Hello Carrie and Joel!
Thanks for sharing that you’d also like to see this feature in Storyline 360.
- Export all captions in a course to a single file
I added your voice to this request, and you'll be among the first to know once this feature is added!
Please add this feature!
We really need this feature. Please add my vote to the list.
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?
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.
Hi Thor,
If you still have this method, our team could really use it. Do you have the steps documented>
Cheers,
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!
sorry, mis-typed, yes, vtt export from Storyline. THere are web tools for vtt to srt
My project published with a VTT. Is there an option to export as an srt for use in a program like Camtasia?
Storyline now creates the .srt with mp4 so YouTube and others can use for close captions.
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much time I have spent trying to figure this out today.
