The player settings allow viewers to customize their playback experience. You can choose which of these new settings to enable you to ensure the right experience for your audience.
Advanced player settings can be accessed via the ‘gear’ icon, located on the bottom right side of the player, beneath the progress bar. If you've chosen to enable only one of these settings, the gear will be replaced by a dedicated icon for that particular setting.
This advanced function provides the following functionalities to enhance your player experience:
Playback speed
Allow users to speed up or slow down the playback speed so they can watch the video at the rate that meets their needs.
Options include:
x0.25
x0.5

Etc.
Closed Captions
AnyClip provides Closed Captions in English automatically, using speech-to-text technology. On top of the English CC that's created automatically, you can now include manual Closed Captions files in additional languages. Viewers can choose not only whether to turn the captions on or off, but also can choose from among the languages you’ve chosen to include.
The available settings are:
On/Off - CC is enabled/disabled
EN - English
FR - French
ES - Spanish
PT - Portuguese
Etc.…
Note
If there are two or more functions, you'll see the gear icon at the bottom of the player.
If only one of the advanced functions is enabled, you'll only see that function displayed at the bottom of the player. For example, if only the player speed function is available, you'll see the speed that's currently enabled for the player (1x-Normal).
Multi Closed Captions Upload
The AmyClip Studio Multi Closed Captions (CC) upload allows you to add more CC files manually to support additional languages with your uploaded video.
Multi CC supports a wide range of languages (190) and enables you to search for languages using autocomplete. You can also upload multiple CCs for new videos when uploading them.
In Manage Videos, open the video to which you wish to add multiple CCs and scroll down to the video information for the video.
Click the Closed Captions tab.
Click + Closed Captions to open a browser window.
Browse to the closed caption .vtt file on your computer and click Open. The new CC file is added to the video and will appear under the Assets tab.
To edit a CC file, hover over the file to display the three-dot menu, download the file, edit it, and then upload it manually.
To delete a CC file, hover over the file to display the delete icon, then delete the file.
