Exporting CC from a Storyline

You can use the media library to view all of the audio files in a list. Select one. The caption file will be shown at the right. Click on the adjacent Edit Captions button and you can export the caption file, with its original filename. Repeat. These are in .vtt format. This is mildly tedious, but straightforward.

Alternatively, you can manualy extract all of the caption files at once (in vtt format) from the .story project file. There may be more than one tool for this, but I will use the 7-Zip File Manager (a file compression tool). It is free to download and install.

Note: Unfortunately, the caption files will have Storyline assigned names. You will need to view the contents to identify which is which. You can open them in a caption editor or in a text viewer, like notepad or something similar. Renaming these is also tedious, so I not sure if it is better or worse than the media library approach.

1. First, make a copy of your project file so you don't accidentally delete anything inside of it
2. Install 7-Zip and open the 7-Zip File Manager
3. Open the copied project file (.story)
