6 Easy Steps To Sub Titling Your Video

So just how do you subtitle that cool video you have on your website?  Will it take ages?  Will it be difficult?
 
Here’s Stefan’s 6 Easy Steps to Sub Titling Your Video.  Once you’ve done it once, there’ll be no stopping you! 

Step 1

Access video manager on YouTube, find the video you want to subtitle and click the arrow by ‘Edit’ (marked in red)
​​

Step 2

From dropdown, select ‘Subtitles & CC’

Step 3

Click ‘Add new subtitles or CC’ and type in the language you are going to provide captions for, this does not have to be the language that the video is spoken in.

Step 4

Then click ‘Transcribe and auto-sync’.

Step 5,…..nearly there…..

​Just listen to the video and type out what is said word for word.  The video will pause as you start to type and then continue to play once you stop.

Step 6….and finally 

​After you are done clicking ‘Set timings’ will allow you to correct any sentences that appear too soon or too late for the spoken words.

Once all timings are correct, clicking ‘Actions’ and ‘Publish’ will add and save your captions.


How straight forward was that? 
 
Hope you enjoy sub titling your videos and please pass on the word!
 
THANK YOU to Stefan at DPHS(Fife) who figured this out all on his own!  ​
