  • I like it and wish to learn more.

  • Great tutorial on Closed Captions.  I have been working on adding Captions to all my How-To videos. This helps to confirm it was a good investment.

  • Streamline this video for DIYers - sorry, but waiting until 5:10 for the real info is too long. Thanks though for a start point!

  • is there an easier way? lol

  • HOW CAN YOU DO IT IF THE VIDEO IS NOT YOURS!!??

  • Great info! It was definitely very insightful for me.

  • Thanks, about all of my videos with my voice in it sucks, because no body can understand it.

  • Thanks, glad I didn't spend hours for finding out what I am doing wrong. Thumbs up for this guy!

  • this was helpful!

  • I was wondering at first how you did yours because the captioning doesn't match your speech some of the time. But, I see the transcribers alter it.

  • You have to do it from a .txt file. Word documents insert all kinds of extra characters, which is what you're seeing. Simply open up Notepad (or another text processing program) on your computer, then copy the document out of word and paste it into the text document. You may have to fix a couple of characters (', ", -, etc.) then save the file and upload that file. Should work just fine!

  • I tried adding Captions from a Word document and it just shows up as random characters. what did i do wrong?

  • Thx

    

  • Thx

  • thanks 

  • KLRBUDY!!! THANKS FOR THE INFO.

  • You upload it to YouTube, following the instructions that are in this video. Watch the video again, and if it's still not clear ask me again and I'll try to clarify.

  • once you have the time code txt file ready on your desktop, then what do you do to get it added to your video?

  • Excellent, thanks for bringing this up!

    ho hum

  • Hey Don

    This is a little old news, but you explained it really well!

    I love how YouTube has made it so easy to add your own text file for the captions.

    Keep up the great work!
