Add Subtitles to mp4 Videos (Adobe Connect 11)
What's the best way to do so?
Do I upload both the .mp4 and the .vtt file to the Adobe Connect meeting? Do I embed the captions in the .mp4? Do I put both the caption file and the .mp4 file in a .zip folder and upload it to the meeting?
Their accessibility promo video makes it look so easy. https://www.adobe.com/products/adobecon … s-new.html

I will try to get a tutorial posted on this topic by tomorrow.
Essentially, you need to upload a ZIP package which includes:
- The MP4 video
- One or more .vtt subtitle files
- A JSON file
Mine uses a file called info.json which has the following format:
{
"English" : {"filename" : "venice-en.vtt"},
"French" : {"filename" : "venice-fr.vtt"}
}

Re: Add Subtitles to mp4 Videos (Adobe Connect 11)
Finally got it to work. My issue was that I tried to add the filename of the .mp4 to the code.
In the code, where it says "filename", don't change that. Keep it as is. The 2 things I changes was the language and the .vtt options.
Here's my JSON file:
{
"English" : {"filename" : "closed-captions-en.vtt"}
}

Here's a list of closed caption language codes. I'm excited to add Spanish, German, and Japanese closed captions to future videos!
