Smart Player Appearance

Overall Appearance:

The standalone Smart Player page will show a blue top banner, where the buttons are blue. The content and color of the top banner, and the color of the buttons, cannot be changed yet.

Title:

To edit the title for an existing Smart Player instance, open the Captioning Details page of the request, and click Edit Smart Player:

Once you've made all the changes, click Update Smart Player:

You can also simply hide the title, by adding &hidetitle to the end of the URL:

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&hidetitle

Results shown by default:

You can choose if the Smart Player shows captions and descriptions by default, when the player is loaded. You can set the default for closed captions with &showcc=t (to turn them on by default) or &showcc=f (to turn them off by default). You can set the default for audio description with the &showad=t (to turn them on by default) or &showad=f (to turn them off by default). 

Note that if you do not include the &showcc or &showad parameters in your URLs, closed captions will be on by default and audio description will be off by default. 

As an example, the following URL would load the video with closed captions off by default and audio description on by default (reversing the default behavior for URLs with no parameters): 

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&showcc=f&showad=t

Transcript Pane and Caption Position:

You can choose placement for the captions and the interactive transcript by clicking the settings icon. You can hide the interactive transcript pane, or change its position (Right or Below the video); and you can change the position of the captions (Overlay or Below the video).

You can also hide the transcript pane by adding &show_transcript=f to the end of the URL, e.g.:

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&show_transcript=f

Finally, you can change the default position of the transcript pane to be below the video by adding &transcript_below=t to the end of the URL, e.g.:

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&transcript_below=t

Logo banner:

You can hide the logo banner, at the top of the page, by adding &embed=t to the end of the URL, e.g.:

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&embed=t

Appearance of the embedded Smart Player:

For an embedded Smart Player, the only elements with color are the buttons. You can otherwise fully customize a web page, where the Smart Player is embedded, to fit your brand. You can see an example of the Smart Player embedded on a web page, in our Redo tutorial page.

1. You can hide the title by adding &hidetitle to the end of the URL provided in the embed code:

<iframe style="width:900px;height:520px;border:0px;" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&hidetitle&embed=true"></iframe>

2.  You can add the &showcc, &showad and &show_transcript parameters explained above to your embed code. 

3. You can change the dimensions of the iframe to fit your web page, by changing the width and the height in the embed code:

<iframe style="width:778px;height:463px;border:0px;" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1433271470amorgan_d0fc5f35f5bd&hidetitle&embed=true"></iframe>
