It works for me when you have the SRT and audio file the same name and import the audio using the media library. But it only imports the captions when you physically add the audio to a slide. It's a bit quirky, so it's as if it doesn't import to the media library at first. See if that works for you.
Unfortunately that would still be an entirely manual (and potentially more
cumbersome) process. I will try that for smaller projects though, thanks.
In these cases the audio already exists on the slide and I am adding
captions after the fact. I have many projects I am inheriting like this
where I am updating accessibility and it’s terriby tedious.
Ah yeah, if it's after the fact then I don't think it's possible. 😔 I've had this problem before which is why I now make sure all captions are ready before importing into the media library.
