Videos that need different captioning

[RobynClark]

Regarding videos, can I edit captions in a course, without affecting the master video in the main studio? I need to add captions in different languages to different courses. Or is it better to make copies of the videos in the main studio and do separate captioning there? Thanks.

Hi @RobynClark ...

I did a little bit of testing.  In my own Studio library, I selected a video I had uploaded (which was also embedded in a couple of my sandbox courses).  I had English captions already generated, but I was able to add Spanish (as an example) captions, too.  However, when viewing the video through Studio (clicking on the video within Studio), I have a "My Library" drop-down list right below the video (but above the "Details", "Comments", "Insights" and "Captions" tabs).  It seems that the Spanish captions I added apply not only to the "master" within "My Library", but they are also part of the two sandbox courses.

Is there a specific reason that you would want one language available for one course but not another?  Would you be open to having all your languages available for all courses in question?

I hope this information will be helpful in some way.
