Steps for .sjson Files
**********************
If your course uses .sjson files, you'll upload the .sjson file for the video to the **Files & Uploads** page, and then specify the name of the .sjson file in the Video component.
.. note:: Only older courses that have used .sjson files in the past should use .sjson files. All new courses should use .srt files.
#. Obtain the .sjson file from a media company such as 3Play.
#. Change the name of the .sjson file to use the following format:
``subs_FILENAME.srt.sjson``
For example, if the name of your video is **Lecture1a**, the name of your .sjson file must be **subs_Lecture1a.srt.sjson**.
#. Upload the .sjson file for your video to the **Files & Uploads** page.
#. Create a new video component.
#. On the **Basic** tab, enter the name that you want students to see in the **Display Name** field.
#. In the **Video URL** field, enter the URL of the video. For example, the URL may resemble one of the following.
#. In the **HTML5 Transcript** field, enter the file name of your video. Do not include "subs\_" or ".sjson". For the example in step 2, you would only enter **Lecture1a**.
