How to create a video transcript in Rise, that can be scrolled vertically ?
Hello Everyone,
I have added a video and a text to a lesson in Rise,
without using Storyline.
When I preview the lesson and scroll vertically the text,
the video moves vertically as well and gets hidden eventually.
But I need that the video remains still and visible,
so that one can watch the video, while reading and scrolling the text below.
How can this issue be resolved in Rise,
without using Storyline ?
Thank you for your help,

Here's the full video, this is one of the easier modifications you can make to your Rise course. Also included in this video is how to quickly insert an icon into your text block.
<span style="font-size: 16px;display: block;height: 300px;overflow: auto;padding: 10px;border: 1px solid gray;line-height: 1.5;">text goes here</span>
Hello, Xavier! In this example, I included the video transcript on a Google document, then I embedded that document below the video using a multimedia embed block. Hopefully this sparks some ideas!
Hello Alyssa,
If I understand correctly the proposed architecture :
• Videos would be delivered by an LMS (containing a SCORM file exported from Rise).
• Transcripts would be delivered by another file server (such as Google Drive).
Then I think, that this architecture would have significant drawbacks :
• The course production procedure would be too complex.
• It would be difficult to ensure the consistency between videos and transcripts.
For the sake of simplicity and consistency,
I need to export the entire content of the course into a single SCORM file.
In an e-learning context, I think, that it is a common requirement,
to display transcripts beside videos.
Therefore, I expected, that Rise would meet this requirement out of the box.
But I now understand, that it does not currently.
Thank you very much for your previous clear and swift response,

Hi Xavier! In the example I showed in my first reply, the Google document is embedded directly inside the Rise 360 course below the video. You can use a multimedia embed block to do this.
If that doesn't work for you, try using video closed captions!
Hello Alyssa,
The Google Document is indeed embedded graphically below the video.
But I understand, that the Google Document is stored in Google Drive (not in the LMS).
And this architecture has significant drawbacks, mentioned in my previous message.
I think, that “Closed Captions” is an interesting functionality.
But it does not respond to my original requirement.

The video embed block does not work for this depending of the security settings for certain companies. It does not accept the import of the Google document.
Hi Karen! You may need to adjust the Google document's sharing link before inserting it in Rise 360.
If your link has "/view?usp=sharing" at the end of the url, change that portion of the URL to "/preview"
For example, this public Google document link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/ABC/view?usp=sharingBecomes:https://drive.google.com/file/d/ABC/previewPlease let me know if that helps you!
Hi! I'm trying to do this but I keep getting the "the file you have requested doesn't exist"... Any tips?
Hi Juan Manuel! Are you using the Multimedia>Embed block? Would you be able to share the link so we can check?
I am surprised Articulate Rise doesn't have the functionality when a video is uploaded using a multimedia block. I have use the closed captions feature by uploading the .vtt file after I have uploaded the video. Has there been any movement in creating a transcript as well once the .vtt is uploaded?
Hi Amy!
Happy to share some insight on this!
Currently, there has not been any movement on transcription features within Rise 360. However, that functionality does exist in Storyline 360. As a workaround, have you considered adding a Storyline Block to your Rise lesson to accomplish a similar setup?
- Here's a sample lesson with a closed-captioned video, and the transcription feature enabled.
If you would prefer to build this solely in Rise, you can add text below the video using a Text Block. Then, remove the excess space between the video and the text by reducing the padding. This screen recording from my teammate Alyssa helps illustrate those steps.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Can you tell us where transcript functionality is on the roadmap for Rise 360? Video transcripts are a basic accessibility requirement and using a workaround such as an accordion or tab block doesn't work well if you're utilizing button functionality that requires learners to interact with everything on a given page before progressing. Storyline also isn't a viable option if you have numerous videos in a course since you need to then manage a separate Storyline file for each video block. For us, the whole point of using Rise is that it's in the cloud and does not require our entire mac-based learning team to have Parallels + Microsoft to edit a course.
