Video Studio – Access transcript in one-quarter size video block – 3900.112
Impact: Instructors, Students
Updated Help Page: Video Studio (Instructors), Video Studio (Students)
Video Studio now allows users to access transcripts for recordings that are displayed in one-quarter size in Documents. When an instructor resizes a recording to one quarter size, a user accesses the transcript via a modal window that is displayed when they access a recording transcript. This improvement ensures that instructors and students can use a transcript at all display sizes.
Resizing the display of Video Studio recordings to one quarter size of the default full width display is possible when creating recordings within Documents. On the Course Content page, Video Studio recordings are displayed at full width. If a user reduces the size of the browser window, the recording can be reduced to a minimum of half width of the full size.
Instructors and Students
A user isn’t able to skip forward or backward in a Video Studio recording that is sized at one-quarter size.
The user interface and functionality for accessing a transcript from a recording at one-quarter size is identical for instructors and students, except that the instructor view includes the Edit Content button.
When user opens a Video Studio recording that is one-quarter size, a button that says View Transcript is displayed below the recording.
Image 1: For a Video Studio recording that is sized to one-column in a Document, the user displays the transcript by selecting View Transcript, which is located below the recording.
Selecting View Transcript opens a modal window containing the recording transcript in read-only mode. The transcript editing functionality is unchanged for a recording displayed at one-quarter size of the default full width.
