Multilingual Closed Captions to one video (audio)
I was assigned to translate a spoken video with subtitles. Therefore i used YouTube to transcribe the audio to text. Imported this text into a Captivate 9 project.
What i want to achieve:
I want to create an interactive PDF in captivate with a menu that assigns translated subtitles (closed captions) to the same video. A user selects French, German, Dutch or whatever and the video starts with the selected subttles.
My starting point was
- to add a video, separated in video and audio on a slide,
- attach closed captions to the audio,
- make it visible throughout the whole project and
- add slides per language.
- add (copy) the audio file per language
This seems not the way to go as my Closed Captions are automatically synced the audio Always: If i change the CC on a slide it will be changed everywhere...
Tried an alternative:
- add a video with audio included and cc added on a first slide
- add additional slides per language
- add the same video from the library (avoid to get too big project)
- add an empty audio file with the same length
Also not the way, when the slide (lets say Dutch) is selected theslide with the cc starts...but not the video. I have to use a multislide video in order to sync it with the project timing. When i pause the slide on enter, you can start the slide but the video doesn't start with the same click...
Before i continue to find workaround after workaround i call on all of you guru's out here: Is there a quicker way? Is there another way? Am i on the right track with these methods i tried?
Thanks!
