This article will cover how to download SRT caption files or the ability to edit captions along with their video. This process will outline how to set this workflow up as a plugin which will allow you to specify where the SRT file should be saved.

You will need the attached workflow Spawn - Convert VTT to SRT

• Create a CREATE-SRT-FROM-VTT media store. Below is an example of how it should look. Please note that the OutputPath can be anything you want. The DeviceGroup will also depend on whether one has been set up.
• Next, you will need to set up the plugin. Depending on which workgroup and webpage you want to use, the next path will differ. In this example, we want System Administrators to access it via Clip Select, so the path is as follows - C:\Program Files\IPV\Curator\Server\Config\w[System Administrators]-u[]-win[]-m[]\WebApplications\CuratorClipSelect\Plugins
• Open SendToDestination.config
• Add the following line in the order you wish for it to appear against the Targets already set up. This is telling the plugin to use the media store above with the name Convert from VTT to SRT

  • <Destination name="Convert from VTT to SRT" locationPath="CREATE-SRT-FROM-VTT" />

• Save the config file, log into the webpage you have configured and click on the Send to Destination plugin. You should then see your new plug.
• Once this is run, this will kick off a process in Process Engine and an SRT file will appear in the OutputPath specified in the media store.
