Upload any of the supported caption formats to your FTP account, and our system will detect that file as a import, taking necessary action to convert it to the 3Play system.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FTP IMPORTS: Closed captions imported via FTP will only create “master” caption files in your 3Play Media account. If your intention is to associate imported files with existing 3Play Media files this process can only be done via the account system and not via FTP!
Follow the steps below to import captions via FTP...
Step 1- Click Import Captions
Click the Import Captions button located at the top of the page.
Step 2- Click FTP Settings
From the Captions Import page, click the FTP Settings tab.
Step 3- Connection Settings and credentials

Step 4- Begin the FTP upload process
Open your FTP client.

Step 5- Enter FTP credentials
In the FTP Server field enter ftp.3playmedia.com.
