Adding Video Transcript Field

Adding Video Transcript Field

This update adds a visually hidden transcript field to your Video chunk to allow for greater accessibility.

This update is strongly recommended.

Step 1:

In the Administration area of your site, locate the data definition for Page - Standard.

Edit the data definition in XML.

Near the end of the data definition, locate the Code chunk XML.

Screenshot of the Page - Standard data definition XML.

After the Code chunk XML, add the XML below to create the transcript WYSIWYG.

Note: If your site already has transcripts on the Audio chunk, this may already be in place, skip to Step 2.

<text identifier="transcript" label="Transcript" wysiwyg="true"/>

Step 2:

Scroll up in the data definition to find the Video Type dropdown listing.

To add the transcript WYSIWYG field to the Video chunk, the Video XML needs to be edited to be as follows for each video type.

Note: The XML below includes information for Kaltura video. If your site does not have Kaltura, see instructions on how to add Kaltura.

          <dropdown-item show-fields="section/chunk/details/widescreen, section/chunk/details/url, section/chunk/details/caption, section/chunk/details/transcript" value="YouTube"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="section/chunk/details/widescreen, section/chunk/details/url, section/chunk/details/caption, section/chunk/details/transcript" value="Vimeo"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="section/chunk/details/widescreen, section/chunk/details/url, section/chunk/details/caption, section/chunk/details/transcript" value="Kaltura"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="section/chunk/details/thumbnail, section/chunk/details/mp4, section/chunk/details/webm, section/chunk/details/caption, section/chunk/details/transcript" value="HTML5"/>

Step 3:

Click Submit to save your changes.

Step 4:

To confirm the field has been added, when viewing the Page - Standard data definition, check the Apply Smart Field rules box at the top left. Select the Video chunk and select a video type. The Transcript field should appear below the Caption field for all types.

Step 5:

To update all possible uses of the Video chunk, the data definitions for Page - Event, Page - News, Page - Profile, and Section - Attached - Standard will also need to be updated following Steps 1-4.

Note: In Section - Attached - Standard, the Video Type XML does not include "section/" at the beginning of the path. The XML should be as follows for each video type.

          <dropdown-item show-fields="chunk/details/widescreen, section/chunk/details/url, chunk/details/caption, chunk/details/transcript" value="YouTube"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="chunk/details/widescreen, chunk/details/url, chunk/details/caption, chunk/details/transcript" value="Vimeo"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="chunk/details/widescreen, chunk/details/url, chunk/details/caption, chunk/details/transcript" value="Kaltura"/>
          <dropdown-item show-fields="chunk/details/thumbnail, chunk/details/mp4, chunk/details/webm, chunk/details/caption, chunk/details/transcript" value="HTML5"/>
