Closed Caption .vtt edit in Stream
Love the closed caption creation on upload but how do I edit the .Vtt file created to correct our acronyms and accent? TIA
So it would be as follows...
- After the autogenerated caption file is created and shows the transcript mode on the video.
- Edit the video
- Options section > Captions > "Download file"
- Open up the .VTT file downloaded in a text editor, make corrections, etc.
- Go back and edit the video > Options > Captions
- Uncheck the "autogenerate a caption file" check box.
- "Upload a caption" file button.
- Upload your edited .VTT file.
We'll then use your new custom caption file for the transcript mode and deep search.
NOTE: We'll be adding ability to edit the transcript direclty in Stream in the future as I know the above isn't intuitive or easy.
Great Explanation, however can you give more exact steps to download the VTT file. I have uploaded files checked the box for auto closed captioning, now cant figure out how to turn them on or see them.
So, I think I understand the issue. Uploaded captions and auto-generated captions are two different things. If you want to override the auto-generated captions with your own custom VTT file, you'll need to uncheck the auto-generated captions option, manually upload your VTT file, and set the default language.
