Editing Closed Captions with Kaltura
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upon uploading media, captions will be automatically generated for the video. Captions must be reviewed and manually edited to 100% accuracy.
Reviewing and Editing Closed Captions
- From the D2L My Home page, select My Media, from the Online Tools menu.
- Locate and select the Video Thumbnail and/or Video Title to open the video.
- From within the video, select the Actions menu, then select Caption & Enrich.
- From the Captions Requests area, when the Status reads Completed, select the Edit Pencil Icon.
- Edit captions and punctuation using the Closed Captions Editor:
Note: The Save and Revert buttons appear after edit(s) have been made to the captions.
- Search and Replace: Search for a specific word, then replace every occurrence within the closed captions. For example, search for “d2l”, and replace it with the corrected format “D2L”. Note: Selecting the “Replace” button while only using the “Search Field” and leaving the “Replace with” field empty will effectively delete the searched term from the entire caption file.
- Captions Editor: Edit captions by clicking into a row, type/delete text as needed.
- Add New Caption Line: Select the plus icon under the active caption line to add a new caption line under the active caption line.
- Delete Caption Line: Select the waste bin icon to delete the selected caption line.
- Add Speaker: Add speaker names where appropriate. To add a speaker, select the checkbox for that row first, then enter the speaker name.
- Revert: Undo all unsaved edits by reverting to the previously saved version.
- Save: Select save to maintain all edits.
- Video Playback: Select play to view the video while reviewing and editing captions.
- Select Save.
- Select Yes to save changes.
