How do I upload a caption file in Canvas Studio?
In Canvas Studio, you can upload caption files for your media.
You can upload the following file types:
- SRT files, the most common transcript file type
- VTT files, a more mobile-device-friendly transcript file type
Notes:
- YouTube and Vimeo media require a caption file upload, or they can be captioned manually. For other media file types, you can also request auto-captioning.
- Starting March 25, 2024, media uploaded to Canvas Studio includes auto-generated captions by default. However, YouTube and Vimeo media cannot be automatically captioned by Studio, and require either a caption file upload or manually created captions.
- For help creating a caption file outside of Studio, you can use a captioning site such as Amara.
