Closed captions
Accessibility is a key part of content creation - which is why we're happy to announce that Colossyan now supports
automatic closed captions for all types of videos
, including
interactive
videos and
multilingual
videos.
closed captions
How to add closed captions to your videos
Closed captions
are the default setting when you're generating your video โ€” you can choose to keep them, or use burnt-in subtitles instead.
Closed captions can be turned on and off by the viewer, while burnt-in subtitles can't be turned off.
Note:
For this update to work, you will need to regenerate your video if you've generated it before the release.
We hope that this update helps!

Enterprise update:
Weโ€™ve just rolled out a new
multilingual player
to help you deliver videos in multiple languages โ€” all from a single player in Colossyan.
Multilingual player
Itโ€™s now much simpler to localize training, internal comms, or product updates โ€” and just as easy for your viewers to access the information they need, in the language they prefer.
How does the multilingual player work?
๐ŸŒ Language selection built into the player
โ€” Viewers can now pick the language they want to watch the video in.
๐Ÿ”— Easy sharing
โ€” Share your videos via a public link, embed them on your site, or export as a SCORM package for your LMS.
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Seamless localization
โ€” No need to create separate videos for each language โ€” just add translations, and Colossyan handles the rest.
This feature is available for Enterprise customers only
, and itโ€™s designed to make life easier for teams creating content for international audiences.
We hope that this update helps โ€” thanks for choosing Colossyan, and happy creating!

You can now see the
duration and orientation
of videos and images when selecting media for your project.
New media modal
Choosing the right media is now quicker and easier
We've been getting feedback that picking the right media was tricky โ€” orientation wasnโ€™t clear, and stock videos didnโ€™t show duration. So, weโ€™ve updated the media modal to make selection faster and easier.
With the new media modal, you can see:
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Image & video orientation (Horizontal or vertical)
โฑ๏ธ Video duration
Itโ€™s a small update โ€” but it should make a big difference when browsing and selecting the right media for your project. Hope it helps!

Turn text and documents into interactive experiences with branching scenarios.

AI Video Creator
Remember Document-to-Video and Prompt-to-Video?
News flash: you can now find them both under
"AI Video Creator"
โ€” our new way of making video creation fast and simple.
Not only that, but
you can also add interactive quizzes, and even branching scenarios
โ€” which will be generated based on your text and/or document.
Screenshot 2025-04-21 at 10
How does it work?
Many creators found it confusing that
Document-to-Video
and
Document Import
were under the same menu โ€” so we've separated them into two different video creation flows.
On the home page, you can now find the following options:
-> Create video
The option to get started from scratch or using a template.
-> AI video creator
The option to generate a video based on your text or your document's content.
-> Import
The option to import your PPT's or PDF's slides and keep them the same as the original.
-> Instant avatar
The option to create a digital avatar from a photo, a video, or a webcam recording.
Screenshot 2025-04-21 at 14
How do branching scenarios get generated?
If you select "
Branching
" when using the AI video creator, our algorithm will analyze your text and/or document, and based on the content, create one of the following branching types:
Linear Branching:
A mostly straight path with a few decision points that briefly diverge before returning to the main storyline. Great for simple choices with a unified ending.
Hub-and-Spoke:
A central hub links to various topics. Learners explore one, return to the hub, and choose another. Ideal for modular content.
Divergent Branching:
Each choice leads to increasingly different paths and outcomes. Thereโ€™s no merging back โ€” just multiple unique endings. Best for simulating real-world consequences.
Convergent Branching:
Learners take different short paths that eventually lead to the same or similar ending. This provides variety while maintaining consistent learning goals.
Branching-2
Branching scenarios
make learning more interactive, personalized, and memorableโ€”giving learners the power to explore, decide, and experience outcomes.
With this update, we hope to make it even easier for you to create engaging, interactive videos using Colossyan.
