Video Transcript

Good evening everyone. My name is Anders, and today we're going to talk about adding subtitles to your YouTube video. Now here we are on the front page of YouTube and I'm going to navigate to my video m manager. So I'm going to click on the arrow on the upper right hand corner and click on video manager right here. Now I have a number of videos that I've uploaded in the past and we're going to choose one to subtitle. Now there's a number of different ways to do this here's one I was working on for French and I'm going to click on the edit button. Now the video going to pop up on our left here and we could play through it if we'd like to. You can look at video information and statistics on the right side here. And on the top bar we have a couple different options and the one we're going to choose tonight is captions. So let's click on that. Now there's a coupe of different ways to do this like I said. You can choose an active track I've already started to caption my video here and if you don't have an active track yet you can click on what ever track is underneath the active track heading. Now in this case when it says machine transcript that means that YouTube is going to process your video and give you the best caption set it can for all the audio that's in your video. So we can click that and it's going to go through and go time code by time code. Now I've never found this to be an very effective way but it can give you a pretty good start. And here as you can see we can run through all of the different things that are said in my video. And see all of the captions that YouTube is going to put in for specific time code. So if I navigate to six minutes and fifty seven seconds in this video. This is basically what they might be saying here. I can't guarantee that because YouTube isn't the best at listening to video or not as good as a human. Now you scroll back up to the top. Here's the first thing that is apparently said in my video. I can click play, listen to it as it begins and now we're seeing what YouTube believes that is being said here by our subject. Now if that is incorrect I can just change what ever is actually being said at this point in the time code to what ever I want it to be. Like there's a something happening. And then I can just click play to get to the next part and notice as we're going through YouTube is going to bold what is currently being displayed on the video. If that's incorrect then just click on that text and change it to what you want. When your all finished click done. Now if there's already a track that you've named English in this case name it something different then scroll down and click done again. Once you've done this you should pop back to the main page here that we started at and you'll be able to play through your YouTube video with these new added captions. My name is Anders, and today we talked about adding captions and subtitles to your YouTube videos. Thanks.
