You can upload, edit, preview and download subtitle files alongside videos.

Uploading subtitle files with video

When uploading video assets, you can drag and drop their subtitle files into the same upload and they will be linked together automatically. This assumes the subtitle files follow standard naming conventions, e.g.

   name.mp4 (example name of a video file)

Would have subtitles with the same filename:

   name.vtt or name.srt (vtt and srt are both standard subtitle file extensions)

Or, for multiple language subtitles, these would have additional language codes in the file names too:

   name.en.vtt

   name.fr.vtt

For example, I could drag and drop these all onto the video upload page:

Asset Bank would then add the video as the main asset, and add the subtitles as metadata.

Alternatively, you can just upload the video file first, then navigate to a new "Subtitle" field in the right hand metadata panel, and upload/link the subtitle files that way:

Editing subtitles

Now that the subtitles have been linked, when uploading you can see the subtitle data in the right hand metadata panel. From here you can edit the text or upload more languages.

Note, the default language shown in the interface above, will reflect the current language you are viewing Asset Bank in. For example, if you had the Asset Bank interface translated in to French and were viewing this, then the default subtitle language that is displayed would be FR.

Attaching subtitles to existing videos

If you have existing video assets, you can edit these, scroll down and find the new Subtitles metadata field and upload button. This is the same field visible during upload, should you prefer to link subtitles that way.

Once done save the asset.

Viewing subtitles in the video player

If subtitles are present, then you can preview these in the player by clicking on the new CC control.

Downloading videos that have subtitles

When a user downloads a video, if subtitles are present this will be communicated and will be included in the download. If there is only one subtitle track, then the video and this will be downloaded as two separate files. If there are multiple language subtitle tracks, then these will be downloaded together in a ZIP.
