Any media files that you upload to My Media, as well as any media that you create with the Kaltura tools, are closed-captioned and transcribed automatically via an integrated machine-captioning service. While this service transcribes with a fair degree of accuracy, you may need or choose to edit the captions within the captions editor, or substitute an existing caption file generated outside of Kaltura.
- Enter My Media, and click on the title or the preview image of the video you wish to caption.
- Under Actions, select Edit, and choose Captions.
- To add a captions file that was generated outside of Kaltura, press/click Upload captions file, and choose an existing .srt or .dfxp file.
- To edit the existing machine or human-generated captions and transcript, click/press Edit Captions to launch the Captions Editor.
- Here you can make changes to any text inaccuracies, add caption lines, delete caption lines, and even change basic timings.
Click/press within a line or timing value and type the update. You can also use Search in Captions and Replace with to make singular or transcript- wide changes. - When you are satisfied with the changes, click/press Save. Click/press
Revert to discard your changes.
