Feature Request: Ability to drag multiple captions along the timeline

In the article titled, Storyline 360: Creating and Editing Closed Captions with the Built-In Editor, in the section titled Adjusting the Timing and Duration of Caption Placeholders, there's this tip:

To adjust the timing of a caption, simply drag the placeholder left or right along the timeline.

Currently, you can only drag captions/caption placeholders one at a time, which is extremely time consuming, especially when importing captions via an SRT file. Please allow users to move multiple captions/caption placeholders simultaneously.

Best regards,

Paulette

    Hi everyone,

    I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 86, we’ve included important fixes and new features.

    One of the new features we’ve included: 

    • Position captions at the top or bottom of the slide to ensure closed caption visibility and prevent the obstruction of critical course content.

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    While you're at it:

    1. add size and position of CC label on top right side of Editor as mentioned in someone else's post.
    2. Don't auto start (or have option) the mp3 file when trying to move a caption block in editor.
    3. Make the space bar start the timeline in Close Caption editor.
    4. Add multiple languages !!!!  have your coder give the ability to add VVT/SRT/ETC files in folder (maybe call it Closes Captions?). Name file like EN1, EN2, EN3 / ES1, ES2, ES3 or add additional languages to your 5iKY****hgfi_captions.js file and make it humanly readable. or, or, or.... MULTIPLE LANGUAGES PLEASE.

    I need to edit my video but the timings on the closed captions are already set. As Ken mentioned, I can't drag all of the existing closed captions all at once. Is there a way for the closed captions to be edited at the same place that the video is edited? For example. There's 20 seconds of silence at the beginning of my video and the audio and closed captions start at the 20 second mark. If I trim the first 20 seconds of the video, the audio starts at the one second mark and the closed captions still start at the 20 second mark.  Therefore, having the need to drag all of the closed captions all at once.
