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"}
}

Excited to use this! I'll have a chance to use this later this week. I'll report back with my results.

Re: Add Subtitles to mp4 Videos (Adobe Connect 11)

it works great - just attend to the details regarding file names in the JSON file

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!
