Closed Captions (remake)

[Peppepoppldoppl]

What is this.

[SvenAERTS]

Did you know that people with an English OS can see the CC-Translate and then all the automatic language translation options, and people with a French OS can see something different like: CC is not available. I just found out with one of my students who shared via skype her screen of a french OS. My OS is Dutch-English and I can see the CC-translate into french whereas she doesnt. How strange is that? Any hints on how to overcome this or is this a bug or illogic in youtube?

[GiantPatterns]

@SvenAERTS Thanks! I've been wondering why CC is always unavailable for ages... Now I changed my MacBook's language settings from German to English and it's working :)

[BobYork]

Hello! I saw your old video a while back and made some subtitles.

This new video is better because:

1. It says "Hello! My name is Andrew" in swedish

2. It tells what format to save them in.

Thanks :)

@videobucs yes, u can.. @videobucs no.. not only user that can choose to see or not the CC, but the uploader also can choose, just put the tag yt:cc=on on the tag section and the CC will load automatically when a user view the video.. I used it on my videos (not all my videos have CC) here's an example of my video that CC loads automatically: youtube.com/watch?v=G7aRIv4nXg­­8 (sorry cuz the video is in malay and uploaded such a very long time ago but the CC is in English)

[starletshay]

Thank you for this helpful video!

[ClosedCaptionsTV]

I can't see the closed captions after i uploaded them how come? Please help :)

[rewboss]

@ClosedCaptionsTV There seems to be a bug. I'm having the same problem -- I've reported it.

[ClosedCaptionsTV]

@rewboss Thank You i was thinking of the same.. Fist i thought it was just my videos but i hope they fix it very soon! :) Thanks for the answer. subscribed btw. :)

[MrGbison]

@rewboss it seem the caption isn't loading.. I must click on CC to open it?

[theonetheonlychi61]

Ugh! My CC button isn't working! Whenever I click it, this red circle with an exclamation point pops up next to it and there are no captions for the video! This is really annoying me. How can I fix it?

[thenextaisle]

Wow great explanation. Thank you!

[ccacaptioning]

Very nice, thanks! We are launching a channel on youtube today, and might include yours on a playlist. Join us if you care to support our mission. CCAC is the Collaborative for Communication Access via Captioning, all volunteers.

Nice video tutorial with interesting tipps.

Good job. Captions very interesting for me & my videos.

So best greets from Germany.

Greets, David

[videobucs]

Thanks! But is it possible to force CC to all users?

[benja303]

@videobucs same thing i was wondering.. reply me if you got an answer

[videobucs]

@benja303 As far as I know youtube does not support that feature. Only the user can choose to see or not the CC.

[NurHidayat96]

@videobucs no.. not only user that can choose to see or not the CC, but the uploader also can choose, just put the tag yt:cc=on on the tag section and the CC will load automatically when a user view the video.. I used it on my videos (not all my videos have CC) here's an example of my video that CC loads automatically: youtube.com/watch?v=G7aRIv4nXg­8 (sorry cuz the video is in malay and uploaded such a very long time ago but the CC is in English)

Very nice tutorial!

[eycs666]

*sigh-of-pure-frustration*

Is the red exclamation mark there when I click on CC there because there are no captions altogether, or my flash player itself is not up with the times?

[rewboss]

@eycs666 Captions are available, but many people have reported problems recently with captions. I don't know what the problem is, I'm afraid.

[Mushinronja]

@eycs666 Yea, my caption button is doing the same thing :/ idk what's wrong

[shadic1010]

@eycs666 I have the same problem where I click the CC button but all that happens is a red explanation mark appears next to it and nothing happens....FIX THE DAMN FEATURE YOUTUBE!!!

[eycs666]

@shadic1010 I don't know about your computer, but I think that upgrading your flash/video player or browser helps. that's what happened to me.

[shadic1010]

@eycs666 How do you do that?

[eycs666]

@shadic1010 Go on your internet browser's website and download the latest version, e.g, I use Firefox so I go on the mozilla firefox website and follow download prompts. Apparently, missing/demented/stubborn-beyo­nd-comprehension captions are an out-dated browser problem...

[LiveFraBremenSeason5]

@eycs666 You donøt have the latest flah player itself happened to me when i used my old PC but then when i did it on my new PC with wondows 7 it worked.

Deine Video ist eine der besten den man im YouTube finden kann, ein eigenes Videoblog mit dem deutschen Untertitel! Ich kenne leider niemanden, der annähernd soviele Videos produzieren lassen wie rewboss. Ich bin auf Facebook unter "UntertitelPflicht" aktiv. Da werde ich deine Kanal damit aufmerksam machen. Es gibt leider immernoch viel zu wenig Untertitel, mit deutscher Untertitel. Hab Respekt vor rewboss! Danke, und bloß nie enden! Dein Kanal ist immer sehenswert!

[xxPFSMxx]

0:41 (5th from the top) Is that Spanish?? if it is, then it's wrong

[rewboss]

@xxPFSMxx Which neatly demonstrates another disadvantage of open captions: you can't correct them later if you make a mistake.

[510Russ]

Wow! I didn't know it could be THAT easy -- or FREE!  Ah dun got edjecaited! (That's my best 'Hoosier.')

[VannyHill]

Wohnst du irgendwo in England : p (bzw. hast mal gewohnt)? Dass du solchen englischen Akzent hast.

[Catalina031]

Thanks :) Wish there was an easier way so that people who are deaf could have cc for any YT video they wish to watch.

[oLynxXo]

Schade nur, dass zu wenige Leute von diesem Feature wissen, geschweigen denn es nutzen. Du bist ein echtes Vorbild! ;D

[lubberkin]

was machst du von beruf

[KawaiiHD]

Echt super gemacht... und das du es da bei auch noch schaffst das ganze witzig und unterhaltsam zu gestalten, Daumen hoch!

[EdEditz]

I didn't know you could supply your own srt files.

[SentryGuns]

i just pooped a little

[FluffyJetProductions]

helpful that you would take the time to explain this - of definite value to the tube community.

[FluffyJetProductions]

very informative
