Multiple captions in one storyline file?
The need to have an audio file or video file per included caption file is a big hurdle for me. I you want 3 different languages for a given video, the video has to be included three times into the project, which leads to an enormous increase in project size.
However, I did discover 1 possibility to limit the project size somewhat, and that is to use the video in the main layer, and then adding an mp3 per language layer. Then you can add the captions to the smaller audio mp3 in stead of the large video mp4.
Translation-wise, there are no user friendly ways to include multiple languages to a single project. (and I have tried them all)
I would like a possibility to run a caption file in a layer, linked to the main layer video, without needing a specific audio or video file. OR. A possibility to select a specific caption file from within a slide, to play along the main video.
I used Jurgen's method for a 2-language CC, except I left the audio in the video and silenced the 2 mp3 audios because there was an on-screen narrator in the video and I was concerned that a separated audio file might not sync properly with the narrator in the video.
