Closed Caption .vtt edit in Stream
- Jun 29, 2017
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.
If we've auto generated a caption file for your video you'll be able to download it with this...
- Edit the video
- Options section > Captions > "Download file"
If you don't see "Download file" in the captoins section or don't see a CC button on the player it means we didn't autogenerate one for your video.
We only support english/spanish language spoken in video.
You have to have that set on the video lanaguage field.
We also only support autogen of captoin for files that are MP4 or WMV. If it's any other extension it won't work. (You can try and just rename your file). We are looking at if we can fix this extension issue in the short run to support more or all formats we support for video playback.
