Useful Closed Caption/Subtitle Software

[AngelOfBodom]

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know of reliable/widely used (free and paid) CC/sub software that creators may use. I am doing some research for my department at the college I work at. Anything would help. Thanks.

Depending on the playback software, you can create your own subtitle file using a bog standard text editor since it's literally just a time code and the text. I think the most common format is this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubViewer

How do I export the YouTube auto-generated captions?

1. Click on the Sign in icon.
2. Click on Creator Studio.
3. Click on Edit and select Subtitles and CC.
4. Click on English (Automatic) under Published.
5. Click on Actions and select SRT. Zoom: SRT is selected.
6. The file will download as "captions.srt".

Let youtube do it for you, and then tweak it in notepad.
