It would be worth noting that it's more convenient to have the prestructured (line per line) subtitles in normal text editor first before working with this app. Having the pre-subtitles ready on any text editor*, what we have to do next is in this app is only copy and paste from the text editor to this app. ;-). I think this would work best for this app. *(I request the text editor can be included in this app - so there is kind of white space that's always visible for the sake of copy-paste)
@rivosuoth and then for those who want to easily copy and paste from a text editor (e.g Notepad.exe in Windows) to this app, you can use a software "Always On Top Maker (go to Google n search exactly those words)" to put your Notepad's Window on top of any windows opened (including your browser, in which you are working with the "Add Caption and Save Caption" that's a little bit time consuming,;plus writing down the text if you don't want to just copy and paste as I advised earlier. ^_^
I have been trying to create the captions in Caption youtube (saved them as written) and than exported to youtube video for a video for 2 days now and it does not work. This is what is the result:
Lelki adoptálás 2. r. (Lengyel nyelven magyar feliratokkal)
Some other features - I like my YouTube vids to go live with captions attached, so it would be nice to stop videos going live until you have done the captions. The main features I would demand are the option to perform key functions controlling the video and queueing captions with keyboard shortcuts, and having adjustable playback speed to lessen the need to stop and replay vide clips.
A good idea though. I hope that this gets carried further
Lining up captions with the correct part of the video, going back and forth finding the right place, and switching between the mouse and keyboard are the most time consuming aspects of making captions. The difference between using subtitle software like this, and the software I use now that lets me avoid using the mouse and keep my hands on the keyboard if I want to is that I can subtitle a 5 minute vid in about 20 minutes now, where the same vid using a mouse easily takes over an hour.
Interesting idea. I put Japanese and English captions on all my vids and have learned some things I find necessary for efficient captioning. The best tool that I have found is SubtitleWorkshop, some free software, and the reason it is the best is that it has the following features: play/pause video with keyboard shortcuts, adjustable playback rate, ability to cue the start and end of captions with keyboard shortcuts, and to skip forward and back with keyboard shortcuts.
Don't fight over it, it might break.
