YouTube makes it easy to caption your
videos using its automatic options

0:00:05.890,0:00:10.830
function all you need to do is go in and clean it up a bit and you've got accurate captions

0:00:10.830,0:00:16.810
for your videos lets go ahead and go to a
video I'm on YouTube's homepage navigate to my

0:00:16.810,0:00:25.449
channel and then to the video manager
from the video manager area I can go to

0:00:25.449,0:00:30.730
the drop down and go to subtitles and CC or if I'm already on the video page

0:00:30.730,0:00:42.149
I can go to the CC button here there's a
couple things I can do subtitles an CC page

0:00:42.149,0:00:49.559
menu I can add a new subtitle or
closed caption file three different ways

0:00:49.559,0:00:54.350
I can upload a file if I already have a
script that I created for my screencast

0:00:54.350,0:00:59.350
I can upload it here and YouTube would
do a good job of syncing that with the

0:00:59.350,0:01:04.729
audio that it hears then I would have an accurate transcript file I can

0:01:04.729,0:01:11.210
transcribe and autosync this brings
up an area where I can just type in and

0:01:11.210,0:01:20.729
then set the timings the
other third option is to create new

0:01:20.729,0:01:26.530
subtitles or closed captions
where I am typing each one in here as I go

0:01:26.530,0:01:32.880
along with no previous help I actually
don't want to do any of those I don't

0:01:32.880,0:01:40.170
have a file but I what I do already have YouTube has ran an algorithm and created the

0:01:40.170,0:01:44.649
English automatic captions so right now
if a user goes to my video and they click CC

0:01:44.649,0:01:50.990
they will actually see closed captions but
they might not be accurate and you've

0:01:50.990,0:01:56.899
probably seen this on YouTube before
where the captions are pretty funny right

0:01:56.899,0:02:02.969
so I can tell just by looking at my
file here that I have a lot of mistakes

0:02:02.969,0:02:10.520
so what's nice is I can just click edit

0:02:10.520,0:02:16.210
and Ive already got the time stamps YouTube
knows where I was talking and it tried to

0:02:16.210,0:02:20.180
guess the best it could what I was saying but
there are a lot of mistakes so I can

0:02:20.180,0:02:27.950
press play I can see on the timeline here
as it plays through words it thinks I said

0:02:27.950,0:02:38.060
I can just start correcting it so this
is a pretty easy thing to do and since I

0:02:38.060,0:02:44.830
recorded this screencast I pretty much
know what I said I can go through and

0:02:44.830,0:02:51.550
make my edits I like to publish my edits
every few minutes even though YouTube

0:02:51.550,0:03:05.210
does auto draft save I can then go back at any time and go to my English file and

0:03:05.210,0:03:14.610
edit and continue working now when
you've got to a good point with your

0:03:14.610,0:03:18.090
edits and you think they're pretty
accurate you can go ahead and

0:03:18.090,0:03:22.550
publish them for the final time and
another thing you can do is go to

0:03:22.550,0:03:29.090
download and download various versions of completed caption files a caption file

0:03:29.090,0:03:33.620
is just a text file with some time stamps
on it you can actually open in Notepad

0:03:33.620,0:03:37.050
or Text Edit and it and look at it

0:03:37.050,0:03:41.010
so you can download the files here
and then upload to another video

0:03:41.010,0:03:46.920
hosting or editing program like
Moviemaker or QuickTime Pro Final Cut

0:03:46.920,0:03:54.900
Adobe Premiere another hosting platform like Vimeo  That was a quick DIY approach to

0:03:54.900,0:03:56.860
captions in YouTube thank you so much
