In this article, we will cover how to make backups of caption files that have been created in Panopto
Prerequisites
Requires user to have Creator access
Instructions
If a user has spent a lot of time cleaning up or adding captions to their sessions, it is a best practice to have backup copies of these files in case anything happens to the ones on Panopto. Below is a series of steps that users can do to backup their captions.
- Log into the Panopto web interface and then to your sessions.
- Hover over a session and select Settings.
- Click on the Captions option in the list on the left.
- Under Available Captions, click on the black triangle to expand it.
- Locate the option to "Download unedited caption file". Click this link to download the original unaltered caption file.
- If the session has been edited, either by making cuts or editing the captions, there will be a "Download file" option. Click this link as well. This will download the altered caption file.
- Each file will download in TXT format, which can be easily opened and viewed on your computer.
- Repeat this process for any additional sessions.
These files can be stored in your personal folder or in a cloud folder as a backup.
