🧙🏻‍♂️ | Add Captions to Your Studio Video

Now that you've created and uploaded your video in Studio, it's time to add captions.

The Studio tool is built right into Canvas, and recent updates have made it easier than ever to get your videos captioned, and include an improved experience for students to engage with your video content.

Canvas Studio makes this step easy! Watch this short video for an overview. The steps are also provided below the video.

Step 1: Locate Your Media

In your Studio account, locate the media you want to view. You can view your uploaded media on the My Library page [1], or search for the media in the search field [2]. Locate Media

Step 2: Open Media

Hover over the media and click the Play image.

Step 3: Request Auto-Generated Captions

To generate or upload captions, click the Captions tab. To automatically generate captions for your media, choose the spoken language [1] and click the Request button [2].

Step 4: View Captions

After your caption file has been queued and processed (this varies in time depending on the length of your video), your generated caption file will appear in the Manage Captions section.

To view more options for the caption file, click the Options icon [1]. To review and publish the captions, click the Edit link [2]. When you are editing the auto-generated caption file, the media file will automatically pause until you click the next timestamp.

You can also download [3], replace [4], or delete [5] any caption file.

Step 5: Review & Publish Captions

Review the generated caption file and click the Publish button. Any additional changes made to the caption file after it is published will be saved automatically.

NOTE: If you want to add captions to a video you've imported from YouTube, you will need to upload captions instead. Click 'Next' to learn how.
