Leave the time stamps alone, as there is a much easier way to change the timing. The only thing you need to do while in this. It will be called "captions.sbv" and I highly suggest making a folder for them, as well as a folder for each individual video, because it MUST be named "captions.sbv" when you upload it back into YouTube after editing it (That "Upload a File" button).
ADD SUBTITLES TO VIDEO REDDIT YOUTUBE DOWNLOAD
This will download a ".sbv" file, which can be opened using Notepad. The second path is to download YouTube's closed caption file by clicking on "Actions" and then choosing "Download". Once you have everything right, just hit "Submit Contribution" in the upper right hand corner, then "Yes - They're ready to be reviewed." After that, your work is done. Each box with text is one block of captions, and you can adjust the timing by dragging the box edges left and right. The first path is, following along with the subtitles on the left, and fixing up the auto translation, as well as adjusting the timing with the system down below the video. Select your language, and you'll be taken to the next page which looks like this.įrom here, there are several paths you could take. Then, click on "Subtitles/CC" and then the option that says "Add subtitles/CC." After you click that cog, this menu should pop up. If you're lucky, you'll be able to get to the "Add subtitles/CC" option by clicking on the options cog in the bottom right of a YouTube video's control bar. This is how I suggest you start, though eventually developing the way you're most comfortable with is always better. So, for captioning on YouTube, there's a few ways to do it, but I'm going to explain my way.
