Adding transcripts to videos

When you first upload a video to Fuse, an English language transcript is extracted, which is viewable as subtitles on top of the video. If you are the content owner or an admin, you can upload additional transcripts in other languages, as well as edit existing transcripts on the video's Edit content screen.

You can also display the transcripts beside the video and specify jump points, which enable users to skip ahead to certain points in the video, by enabling the Display "Jump to" tab setting. For more information, see Using the "Jump to" tab.

Automatically generated transcriptions

When you upload a video that features English language audio, the video is automatically transcribed. The extracted transcript is converted into subtitles which can be played on top of the video. 

If a video has been transcribed, a 'Last converted' date is displayed on the Edit content screen for the video, as shown below:

 If your English language video has not been transcribed automatically, click Convert on the Edit content screen, to manually trigger the transcription. 

Uploading your own transcripts

You can add your own transcripts to a video by uploading .SRT files. For example, you might want to have subtitles in many of the languages that are supported in Fuse, such as German, French, Spanish, Italian and so on. 

When you upload a .SRT file, you must use the correct naming convention. The file must be named with the correct language code, as shown in Fuse's supported languages list. For example, if you are uploading a .SRT file containing French subtitles, the file must be named 'fr-FR'. 

Once the .SRT file has been uploaded, you can change the label so that it is more human readable. For example, you might change fr-FR to Francais. 

To upload an .SRT file:

1. On the Edit content screen for your video, click Add a subtle file.
   
2. Locate and select the .SRT file on your computer. 
3. Click Open.
   The .SRT file is added to the Subtitles list.
   
4. (Optional) If necessary, you can alter the label so that it is more human readable. For example, you might change fr-FR to Francais. 
   
5. At the bottom of the screen. click Save. 
   
   The subtitles are added to the video. Users can select the subtitles in the Closed Captions menu, in the Fuse Player settings.
