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 g...
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.
I got this to work in Rise- scrolling text block below a video. Is this what you're trying to achieve?
I support AllyRuizBalcerz request for accessible transcript functionality. I have just started exploring how I add in a transcript file in RISE 360 nearby or next to the video and the short answer is 'NO'. I can do (cc) via (vtt) no drama but the transcript file is going to be a challenge for those people needing to use a 'screen reader' to read text. This is for users with visual and hand mobility difficulties who rely on screen readers. This will be challenging. I will have to explore storyline but its not ideal and I'm unsure if a screen reader will recognise the text within the interactive SL block. I await in anticipation!
