New Features

|
=============
|
|
|
|
* **New video editing interface, enabling an enhanced workflow for adding timed transcripts to videos** (BLD-238)
|
|
|
|
When you enter a video URL in the Editing: Video dialog box, the system checks if a timed transcript for that video exists on edX, and if
|
|
so, automatically associates the transcript with the video. If no transcript is found, you click Upload New Timed Transcript to locate and
|
|
upload the .SRT file for the transcript.
|
|
|
|
When there is an associated timed transcript, you can click Download to Edit to download a local copy of the .SRT file. You can then
|
|
modify the transcript and upload the new file.
|
|
|
|
For YouTube videos, you can also import a timed transcript from YouTube, overwriting the version of the transcript on edX with the version
|
|
from YouTube.
|
|
|
|
Backwards compatibility with the other transcript workflow is maintained with a tabbed interface.

Known Issues and Workarounds
|
|
====================================================
|
|
|
|
* **Uploading a large number of files** (STUD-813, STUD-837)
|
|
|
|
When you go to the Files & Uploads page, if your course has a large number of files, the Files & Uploads page can time out before it lists
|
|
all the files. The page becomes unresponsive, and you cannot upload more files.
|
|
|
|
**Workaround**: To upload new files files when the Files & Uploads page is timing out, limit the number of files that appear on the Files &
|
|
Uploads page by adding start and max parameters to the URL. For example, you can append the following parameters to the URL in your
|
|
browser:
|
|
`https://studio.edge.edx.org/assets/organization.course-number.course-name/branch/block/course-name?start=5&max=15`
|
|
|
|
This example tells the page to load a maximum of 10 files, starting with the 6th file. You can use other values as needed, as long as the list
|
|
is not so long that the page does not load successfully. Note that file counts begin at 0, not 1, and that files are listed chronologically, with
|
|
the most recent first.

The following changes are included in this release:

|
|
both edX101 and EdX101 as course IDs. (STUD-873)
