Editing Captions

Accessing the Video Editor

Video editing tools are accessible for both captured and uploaded media.

1. Choose Manage Media and select the desired media.
2. Mouse over the desired video and click on Edit in the upper right.

Editing Captions in the Video Editor

In most use-cases, the Video Editor provides the fastest and easiest way to edit Auto-captioning for accuracy.

1. Navigate to the desired media in Manage Media.
2. Mouse over the video thumbnail and select Edit. The Video Editor will open in a new browser tab.
3. Choose the CC button to open captions for editing.
4. Make any desired changes or corrections to the captions.
5. Save your edited media; the Video Editor is fully non-destructive and your edited media will be saved under a new name, usually yourvideoname_edit.

Download and Edit Captions

If you prefer to manually edit the Auto-captions, you may download and upload captioning files. You can also download a transcript of your video that you may share with students who may be in low-bandwidth environments.

1. Navigate to the desired media in Manage Media. Select More… from the menu in the upper right of the thumbnail.
2. Choose Accessibility.
3. Click on the Download icon next to Captions. The file will download as a .SRT file.
4. Open the .SRT file in a text editor, just like you would a .TXT. Make any desired edits, then save as a .SRT.
5. Select Upload on the Accessibility page. Upload the new .SRT file. You will need to allow the file to overwrite existing captions.
