Important Note: Please be aware we cannot provide voice-overs or edit existing video or voice-over content in Adaptive Compliance courses. You will need to supply your own subtitles for translations specifically for videos.
Video can be used in various places throughout your course, including in a video slide:

Supported video types
| Upload MP4 video | Upload a video file in the MP4 format. The file must be under 25 MB in size. We recommend using video files that are only 15 MB in size as this helps to keep the course package a reasonable size. If you want to use longer or larger videos, we recommend hosting them on YouTube or Vimeo and linking to them from your course. |
| Link to MP4 | Add a link to an MP4 file hosted elsewhere. |
| Link to external video | Simply add a link to a YouTube or Vimeo video. If they don't display properly, double-check that they are set up to be publicly visible, or at least visible to your staff. |
Subtitles
Adaptive Content Authoring has an inbuilt subtitles editor that you can use to add subtitles based on time code:
Or you can upload an SRT or VTT file using the Upload Subtitles button.
Note: If you're translating your course, English subtitles must have time codes & text entered to ensure that they are translated with the rest of the course during the translations process. The time code for each line will be the same for all languages. The video file should not include any embedded subtitles. Click here to read more about translations.
Introductory video
Many of our off-the-shelf courses begin with a brief video that primes learners on the topic at hand. You may want to replace this video with your own message or custom training video. To do that:
Click on “Video Slide” in the INTRODUCTION section of the sidebar:
Here you can:
- Replace the existing video with one of your choosing (from a file or linking via URL)
- Add subtitles manually or by uploading a VTT/SRT file
