Studio generates text, can I export to .SRT?

[Chris_Hofer · Accepted solution]

Hello @CathyRodriguez ...

What do you mean by "Studio generates text"?  Are you referring to the closed captioning portion of Studio where captions can be auto-generated for videos that you've uploaded (original video content) to Canvas Studio?  If so, then the answer is YES!  Check out this Guide:

How do I use the Canvas Studio Caption Request Too... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

I tested this in my own Canvas sandbox environment where I have Studio.  I was able to download the captions as a *.zip file.  Once I unzipped the file, there were two *.srt files:

• latest.srt
• original.srt

(Some of the screenshots in the above linked Guide show you where you can download the captions.)

I hope I've understood your question correctly.  Please let Community members know if this is not what you were referring to, and we'll try to do more troubleshooting.

Thanks!

I've got a little experience with SRT files and I think you hit the nail on the head @Chris_Hofer.

An SRT is a standard file format for captions that would allow you to upload captions that were generated from Studio into other applications like YouTube and other video platforms.

This features is particularly helpful because Studio does a pretty good job of allowing you to make minor edits and changes to your captions without a lot of fuss.
