Question

Closed Captions with SRT or other type of file

Hello,

We record our videos in a studio and have them captioned by an outside service (such as REV or Verbit), which generates a .srt file (we have other options). Are any of these options importable into captivate? Sitting here copying/pasting for the timing of closed captions is a very daunting task for each video.

Thank you!

I should add, maybe, that I'm using Captivate 2019. I'm importing the videos into the project to make them interactive and using bookmarks to send users back when answering knowledge check questions incorrectly.

    AFAIK Captivate still doesn't have the functionality of importing SRT, you need to synchronize in the application itself. Please log a feature request. BTW the most recent version (just released) is 11.5.0

    The lack of SRT support in Captivate despite the fact it’s on version ELEVEN (!!!) is utterly baffling.

      You could always do a simple html with the video and srt. Zip them and insert as an HTML5 animation. I use vtt and it work just fine.
