Imported Camtasia mp4 videos not working as published
I have added Closed Captions to supplement the narration in my video using the Camtasia CC options. I published the CC to show up both on the video and under the video with some added space. Neither option works after I import the mp4 into Rise. Rise strips out the closed captions, the CC icon, and the Settings icon to only leave the bare video with narration. What can I do to make Camtasia appear as it's supposed to?

I assume the Camtasia content is embedded in a player which would house the missing elements. When you insert the video into Rise, you're only inserting the video.
Two options:
- Upload the published Camtasia files to a server and then insert them into Rise as an iframe.
- Export the Camtasia CC file. Import the mp4 video into Rise and insert the CC. You lose the other Camtasia elements but you do retain the CC.
Tom,
For the second option, how would I insert the CC when Camtasia exports as .srt or .smi, neither of which Rise accepts?
Thank you
You can convert the .srt to .vtt
You could try changing the extension and see if that works. Otherwise there
are some conversion options online.
