How do I use the Caption Editor to edit a caption file?
In Canvas Studio, if your media includes a caption file, you can search and edit caption lines in the caption editor. The caption editor allows you to edit caption text and timestamps. You can also insert new caption lines or delete caption lines.
You can upload caption files from your computer, create captions manually, or request automatically-generated captions.
Starting March 25, 2024, media uploaded to Canvas Studio includes auto-generated captions by default. Once the caption tool has finished processing, you can use the Caption Editor to edit the automatically generated captions.
