How to add Closed Captions and Subtitles to your video

[orchidenglish]

I love this video! It's so personalised and helped me a lot. Thanks

[BigNate84]

Nice video my friend! Very informative for anyone who wants to manually add timecode. Great work!

[ClaudeLeung1985]

Lol you are boy

[MineCrafterCity]

u have so many views bcs its on the youtube subtitel information page! :D

[5EBASlo96]

Would you even put the "ummm" in Wordpad?

[SandburgSpartans]

@5EBASlo96 Why not? :)

[Bombardonius]

Wow - thank you!

[lolcatlordful]

thanks :)

[BabyGoatNet]

It wont allow me to save as an .srt. When I try it saves it as caption.srt.rft or .srt.txt or whatever it is set to. Any ideas?

[bcharry]

@BabyGoatNet don't use wordpad, use notepad instead and when saving the file select: Save as type --> "all files (*.*)" and then any file name with ".srt" in the end

[TamarioSistersTV]

At the ending your gonna choose what type of language you want it to be translated too? or what language was the thing you wrote?

[Crazypie210]

I tried uploading the .srt file but youtube said "The file you uploaded could not be processed. Please check the file format "

HELP

[ColtonsVideos]

@Crazypie210 Did you download the file from Youtube and edit it in TextEdit or something like that?

[Crazypie210]

@ColtonsVideos I wrote it from scratch in notepad just like the video showed you how

[ColtonsVideos]

@Crazypie210 Ok, I won't troll you anymore, but for Just A Thought, I did it a different way, but never finished, haha

[Crazypie210]

@ColtonsVideos Im trying to make english subtitles for my spanish video

[ColtonsVideos]

@Crazypie210 Just go the subtitles section, download and edit the file, then reupload it

[gilbertgonzalezjr]

Wow!!! This was an answer to prayer! Thank you SO much!! Love it!!

[BabyGoatNet]

Sandburg Spartans, I am not clear on how to do this. I know how to create a file of what th closed caption will read and then save it. What do I do with it from there? How do I incorporate it into the video. This is what I am unclear about. Thanks

_Randall

[Pwnage195]

Thanks. that is all

[SilverdracLP]

Thank you for the Tutorial. ^^ It helped me a lot. :)

[NusryNizam]

What is the format used to upload captions ? Please help

[MoxpressProductionz]

Thanks, your video has been really helpful to me. ;)

[L4drocker]

LOL, Unregistered HyperCam2? well it doesn't matter the vid is..

[faclubejaqueline]

I'm not able to put my videos right in the Closed Caption. Always appears strange symbols and names. What can you're going wrong?

[ARTHUR11727]

HI ITS NICE

[zeimeris]

are you really 20 years old?

[FuzzySoulTiger]

good video. i learned something new today  :) Fuzzy Soul Tiger

[MrBudata]

@CydiaAssistance Yes, just a little bit :)))

[M0VIES4U2]

Dang! This takes a lot of effort!

[fartkakes101]

it says 'the file you have uploaded could not be processed. plz check the format and try again. what does it mean?

[sevenseven123a]

@fartkakes101 I don't know, maybe you check you're using WordPad...

[TDU1995]

Nice video, thanks! :)

[MichaelNovakHansenTV]

Thanks so much i've checked many vids to find out how to do but it was only in yours that i actually learned it :) thanks :)

[born4catz]

Somehow it seems less complicated just to add it via annotations v_v

sigh, thanks for the vid anyway.

[SaFrAn15]

Thanks man! but when saving the file It won't work but I know how to save it anyways! :)

[Nangala93]

Hello, I did it exactly like you show, but it doesn't work. Have you any idea what could went wrong? Pls help me!

Nice greetings.

[rapstreetz]

Thanks mate.

[SandburgSpartans]

@MrBudata lol, k thanks loser

[MrBudata]

@SandburgSpartans you're welcome, loser ;)

[SandburgSpartans]

@MrBudata Oh ya, my video has 86,518 views and I've helped thousands of people. You on the other hand have a few videos and hardly any views. Go troll somewhere else, everyone here hates you ;)

[MrBudata]

@SandburgSpartans I have only few videos and I started upload an year ago. So one of my videos reached 20k+ viewers. And why? Because it is Metallica. An year later may be the viewers will be close to yours as they now. And do you think this matters?

Be lucky and healthy you and other haters here! :))) Greetings!

[TheJackPicasso]

@SandburgSpartans i love your video but please a little bit of modesty it removes the charm

[iSayMadam]

@MrBudata I bet you'd do it muuuuuuch better... NOT!!!

Idiot, if you have nothing positive to say, why do you bother? People like you only seem to exist to cause bad vibes. The presentation is nice - it's not cold and robotized like a 'professional' presentation - it's fresh and it explains what you need to know. What a sad individual you are, MrBudata.

[MrBudata]

@iSayMadam I feel we're the same...

[iSayMadam]

@MrBudata I bet you'd do it muuuuuuch better... NOT!!!

[educationcmh]

Nice video - I just noticed there is also a feature now where you can just upload a regular text file and YouTube figures out all the timecodes for you!

[rsoreo]

Thank you soooo very much kiddo!! Keep up the good work!

Im really really impressed. You're so young but yet so smart and so helpful.

Thank you so much once again!!

[theisoganders]

its US who are thanking YOU! nice video! thanks alot! ;D

[MrLinder]

It did not work

[dontforgetmario]

at 0:35 you say "here is miliseconds"... actually those numbers indicate the FRAME number... is not time...

[supergreenapples1]

Thanks

[cappington]

Can I make a suggestion? Could you possibly add some captions to this video? If it were captioned, Deaf people could use learn from it too.

[SandburgSpartans]

@cappington There are

[Pwnage195]

@SandburgSpartans talking to seconds ... hm do they talk back lol jk

[Pwnage195]

@SandburgSpartans it dosnt work please help!!!

[TheCandyYoshi]

@SandburgSpartans thanks so much! this really helped because i did a video today that I sped up before i uploaded it and I just wanted to know how to do all this stuff. (also, it took 74 minutes to upload when the actual vid was under 2 mintues, and then it took time to process the video. OMG!!!! I mean, really, i could have watched a movie and a half before the upload was even done. LOL i just wanted 2 tell u that.) btw, if you want to see the vid, go here:

/watch?v=LpAsFXGAIz0

[juliocaliman]

The video helped, but indeed there's a mistake. You need to save the file as txt instead.

[iBlogLove]

Thank you!

[africanheritagevideo]

Thanks for your help. Just a note: I found that using notepad and saving the file as '.txt' was the way to go! It worked after that.

[mickoin2]

.txt is okay ??

[Boooooeing]

What screen recorder do you use?

[MewDenise]

It doesn't work. It says error, fail!

[flightplayer]

[BlUePePpEr3D]

GoodLuck ^_^

[AnaNord]

Excuse me, did you also translate your text into norwegian? Or is that google translator doin this auto?, please answer. Translate from english to some languages can be tricky.

[AnaNord]

Yes, it takes time, but think of all the deaf people around in the world. It will foremost help them to enjoy youtube. I will really try and work on this, but i have no idea what video to choose yet.

[AnaNord]

I learnt a lot from your video, good work dude!!

@Blanfire It works with both.

[naruto16534]

Really helped with my confusion! Thanks a lot!

[SandburgSpartans]

To everybody: Wordpad, Notepad, etc, etc... are ALL installed on your PC already. Windows Vista or 7 users: Go to Start, search "Wordpad" you're done. XP or older users: Go to Start, all programs, accessories, Wordpad. Hope that helps! Any more ?'s, PM me! -Cody

[ICEMANloc]

So do i have to downlaod anything or is that program already in my computer, could you help your boi!

[mfreitastv]

[babyangel120386]

wow, thnx for this, ive been checking how to add subs on youtube, such a great help & it works!

uhmm...

just a quest, at any point do u know on how to add hard sub/captions, i mean if you download a vid, subs are also downloaded.

thnx again!

;p

[czlas]

where did you download your wordpad?

[CLOWNBOT00]

I notice almost every video I've watched with some type of tutorial has someone that sounds like they're like 8 or 9 yrs old. I'm not hating, just saying. Nice video.

Also, while you're setting up the subtitles, is it possible to change the font, or does it stay as is?

[zethiopia]

thank you so much princess!!

[2reeler]

thanks for the caption info. can you tell me if you can make the type big or small or different type font u like? and can u put the sentence over the center or anyplace you want on the video? I want the caption to go in the middle in a pretty type font. can i change it later? after its on my video? thanks.

[nutrinoland]

awesome...and u'r cute..and smart too..

:)

[ultimatefunster]

thank you everybody

[viking665]

Oh, this worked, i've always wondered how to add subtitles, thanks sir.

[nyzeb]

Awsome video and explanation, I just added it to one of my videos, check it out if you want!

One thing though I think you forgot was to when you save the Wordpad file you have to change the "save as type:" tooooo "text document - MS-DOS Format"

[Mathurankan]

Thx dude it works perfectly!

[ShadowPrinceSOS]

THANK YOU

[1298Jazzy]

[istoriamasinilor]

You need to be a Youtube partner to put those texts in the middle of the screen?

[MeitanteiHiryuu]

this is strange, could you look at my attempt to do this? It shows the time in the teksting, with a code at the end of every line D:

1E1PvF7kcX0

[MeitanteiHiryuu]

@MeitanteiHiryuu Well okay I tried fixing the file; I found some mistakes in the caption file, but that seems to just have made it worse somehow; please check it out :D

[BrianMastermind]

[Funtime2412]

I'm going to use this viseo for everytime I need to make captions!

[SandburgSpartans]

@Funtime2412 Awesome!!!

[Funtime2412]

I did exactly what you did, but I cant get the captions to upload under captions instead of transcript., it says that the format is unknown and I need some assistance with that, do you know what I am talking about? Any tips?

[thegtamasterfelix]

HELP ME PLEASE! I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE @sero82sero I DID IT LIKE YOU I SAVED IT AS .SRT (RTF) AND YOUTUBE SAYS TRACK FORMAT UNKNOWN,COULD YOU PLEASE HELP?

[SandburgSpartans]

@thegtamasterfelix Save as "All files" in the scroll-down menu.

[thegtamasterfelix]

@SandburgSpartans I'm sorry but what is the scroll down menu? ( I know i'm stupid xD )

[SandburgSpartans]

@thegtamasterfelix Haha, sorry I didn't explain good enough.. When you save the file, under File Name, it says Save as Type. Then save it as all files, or rtf. I haven't really tried, so you're the guinea pig; squEEk squEEk! Haha, tell me if it works....

[thegtamasterfelix]

@SandburgSpartans hmm,you say all files or rtf,but i already tried rtf and i still don't understand what you mean with all files lol :P

[SandburgSpartans]

@thegtamasterfelix Sorry! Haha. Try Unicode Text Doc.

[thegtamasterfelix]

@SandburgSpartans Omg it's working!!!! =D Thank you so much! :D

[SandburgSpartans]

@thegtamasterfelix Haha, your welcome!

[DaniiCullen]

I'm havin gthe same problem as @thegtamasterfelix,

could you please help me?

[sero82sero]

i did it exactly how u said but then youtube said: track format is unknown

i saved it as .srt (RTF) exactly like in the video...pls help!

[FrapMocha]

uh yeah a question. I did all the steps your said, and the srt thingy too. But YT told me there are 2 errors:

English: The file you uploaded could not be processed. Please check the file format and try again.

English: track format is unknown

Is there anything else I might be missing here?

[J0hnusMaximus]

Thanks for the video, it came in really useful :)

[Silencebound]

After I made the new subtitle file by WordPad and saved it as 'Caption.srt'. Okay, but once when I uploading it after browsed the Caption.srt folder file by pressed 'file (Browse)', as it shows

'C:\User\User\Documents\Captio­n.srt.rtf' and then it can't upload to YouTube. The next response is 'English : The file you uploaded could not be processed. Please check the file format and try again.' and 'English : track format is unknown'. I'm annoyed as you didn't show the uploading video. How by ?

[Moviemakerg]

@Silencebound When you save, don't save as Rich Text Format (RTF). Save as Text Document - MS-DOS Format. That worked for me....

[Silencebound]

Moviemakerg, thank you very much as I've successfully uploaded it. You maybe come and see my 4 mins movie in 35mm film format with CC. It's :- Introduction of Four Deaf Actresses. Again, thank you very much !!

[Moviemakerg]

@Silencebound Your welcome =)

[Moviemakerg]

Do I have to use WordPad?

[SandburgSpartans]

No, you don't. But make sure you still use the correct format... And try saving as "All Files" in the scroll-down menu when saving.

[Moviemakerg]

@SandburgSpartans Ok, thanks

[TurboBuzzard]

thanx :)

[TheGravityCoil]

@jesusssavedyouandme, I'm havin' the same problem..

[TheGravityCoil]

It saves as caption.srt.rtf what do i do?

[TheGravityCoil]

Isn't working for me... It saves as "Caption.srt.rft" how do I fix this??

[TheGravityCoil]

Mine saves as Caption.srt.txt what do i do?

[philjaps]

hey, good job, thanks for teaching people 3x older than you.

[georgez369]

Thanks! The vid was really helpful!

[jesussavedyouandme]

When i save it it does

subtitles.srt.rtf

what do i do?

[pranaygtr]

Use Notepad instead

[philjaps]

If you are going to use Word, save your file as plain text, then on the next window, choose MS DOS

[Bethintx1]

Wow! excellent video! the new voice recognition captioner on YT sucks!  I definitely will give this a try!

[DavidMinhFromFrance]

hello !

how old are you ? you can use a PC like a genius !

[13obod]

When i save it it does

subtitles.srt.rtf

what do i do?

[pranaygtr]

Thanks, 5* to you =)

[SerMasdamer]

Does anyone know, why when i trie to send my .srt file, it writes, that "track format is unknown"? Please help
