Caption and Graphic Text Export Fields Are Incorrect
See regular forum:
I’m posting this bug report in the Beta forum to focus what I believe are the underlying issues. At least 2 changes have been made to the fields in the caption/graphics txt/csv exports during the 25.x and 26.x cycles. What I believe are the correct fields were present in the 24.6.5 version. I am unsure whether any of the changes are by design, since I thought the reasoning that led to the 24.6.5 fields should be the same.
My comment in that forum thread included the problem in 25.6.4 with the exports there:
“In 25.6.4, the fields became the same for caption export and graphics export: Speaker name, Start Time, End Time, and Text. Perhaps there was a plan to export speaker information to captions, but a) the Video Track and Layer ID fields should not have been removed and b) a further change was made the time of update to 26.2.2, now making the fields for caption and graphics export the same as the caption export in 24.6.5: Start Time, End Time, Text, and Layer ID.”
Steps to reproduce:
1 - Create captions with at least one caption having a second block. And create graphics text with at least one instance having a second text layer.
2 - Export caption text and graphics text to txt and csv formats.
Result: a) the Layer ID is ignored, and only layer 1/block 1 are exported.
Result: b) Fields included are: Start Time, End Time, Text, and Layer ID; the Video Track field is omitted from the graphics export.
Expected: the correct fields will be included, and all text will be exported with correct layer indicated, and correct Video track for graphics.
