Question

Closed Captioning area always on top?

Hi Everyone,

 

I am wondering if it's possible to control the Y position of the CC display area?  I have some a few boxes that I show and hide on a slide.  These are large and overlap the area where the CC is shown.  Can I set at a system level the Y position of the CC text?  we need it to be behind anything that we may display over it.

 

Thanks!

    I don't understand your last sentence "we need it to be behind anything that we may display over it." but you can follow the steps in your Closed Caption Settings window to ensure that it is aligned at the top of the slide for all your slides.

    1. Select Project instead of one of your slides 
    2. Select Top Center to have your closed captions at the top
    3. Select Override Slide Level Settings with Project Settings
    4. Apply and then Close

    Hi Paul...thanks for responding.  If I "show" something on my slide like perhaps a popup text box or photo the CC text, when toggled on, lays over top of everything on the slide...even the popup text box that I have "shown".   The easy thing to do would be to put the CC text at the very bottom or top but that is not possible with the GUI design the client wants.  If I have a large popup box the CC will end up laying over it.  I am not seeing anyway in the CC dialoge box to control it position on the slide as far as pushing it to the back.  

     

    So the image with the white background is how the slide looks when you come to it.  The Gray background is what it looks likie when I select the "More Info" button.  This "Shows" a group of graphics to make my popup. 

     

    You can see the CC text in both graphics.  I want the popup to appear over top of the CC.  For this page I could easily move the white box up a bit so the CC is not over it but there will no doubt be times when the popup box will be nearly the size of the slide.

    and should have added that I am pausing the timeline/audio when I go to the popup.  This is why I need to NOT see the CC text once the popup box appears.
