The Caption Editor

The Caption Editor page allows presenters to review and edit captions that were created automatically by Camtasia Relay. When a presentation is held for caption editing, all processing and publishing is paused until the presenter releases the presentation to complete processing and publishing.

Once a presentation is open on the Caption Editor page, use the following process for editing captions and submitting the presentation for final processing and publishing.

1. In the Edit Captions view, use the video controls to review the automatic captions.

   

2. Edit existing captions by clicking inside a caption and editing the text.

   

3. Add , delete , and split  captions as needed.

4. To save your work, click Save.

   Camtasia Relay automatically saves changes to the presentation captions every minute.

5. When the captions are complete, click the Preview and Submit tab.

   

6. Review the presentation and make any final adjustments to the text or timing of the captions.

   

7. When you are satisfied with the captions, click Publish.

   The presentation continues processing and publishing. Depending on your profile settings, you may receive a notification when your presentation is ready to share.

Caption Editing Tips

Here are some tips to help you when editing captions.

• To stop at the end of each caption, disable the Continuous Playback button .

• While working in a caption, click Replay to repeat the text of the selected caption once. Repeatedly click the Replay button until you are able to transcribe the entire caption.

  

• The number in the lower right of a caption shows the remaining characters available to keep the caption within compliancy guidelines. If a caption is too long, it turns yellow and shows a negative number of characters available.

  

• Click Split to separate a caption into two smaller captions.

  

• Use the standard keyboard shortcuts for Undo (<CTRL+Z>, Command-Z) and Redo (<CTRL+Y>, Command-Y) to undo or redo your actions in the caption editor.
