Captions in Ooyala: add style to the captions

The last step before you upload the caption file into Ooyala is to add some code to make it pretty.  Easy peasey.

First open the Captions page of the Ooyala documentation.  You are likely already on that page, but the link is below this video.

Find the “Tweak the DFXP file for Ooyala” section, and copy the mess of code located after step 3.

Now open the converted caption file with Notepad.  The file name is something like captions_output_1456524578.xml.  You’ll need to change the Notepad file browser to *All Files in order to see the caption file.

Once the file is open in Notepad, find the first <p. Delete everything before that first <p>, then copy that mess of code from the captions documentation before the <p>. 

Save the file.

Done!  You are ready to upload into Ooyala! FINALLY!
