Edit Auto-Captions on YuJa Videos

Last updated on December 20, 2022

Videos uploaded to YuJa receive automatic captions, though it may take a few hours for them to appear after processing. This is an excellent feature which will save you lots of time! However, not all of the captions will be accurate- it’s a computer and cannot know your exact vocab or speech perfectly. Thankfully, editing the transcript files is quick and easy and takes much less time than writing the transcript from scratch.

Directions

  1. Open a New Browser Window.
  2. Type msudenver.yuja.com in the address bar.
  3. Hit Enter on your keyboard to navigate to the webpage.
  4. Click the Drop-Down Menu next to the Login button in the top right
  5. Select the middle option, Metropolitan State University of Denver SSO.
  6. Click the Login button.
  7. Click the My Media tab on the left navigation bar. 
  8. Navigate to the Video that you’d like to edit the captions of.
  9. Hover your mouse pointer Over the Video that you would like to select.
  10. Select Edit from the menu that appears over the right side of the video thumbnail.
    • A new window will open with the player and editing options available.
  11. Click the CC icon that appears in the bottom right corner of the video.
  12. Click along the Timeline.
  13. Edit Captions, as you see fit.
  14. Click Save at the top of the screen when you’re satisfied with your edits.
    • A dialog box appears with a few options. Notice the Title info box now has the title of the video, but with “_edited” appended to the end. You can do one of the following options:
      • Delete that extra info “_edited“, and click on Replace Existing Video to save over the video you just edited. We recommend this method in most circumstances.
      • Click on the Save as New Video button, If you’d like to save your edits as a new video, and keep the original one.
