Subtitles can be a great way to make your videos more accessible to a global audience. They can help with unclear audio, and can also be used to add various language translations. ..
To add YouTube subtitles to a video, you first need to create a new account and sign in. Then, you can find the video you want to subtitle in the main menu and select it. Once the video is selected, you can click on the SUBTITLES tab on the left side of the screen. There are a few different ways to add subtitles to videos. The easiest way is to type them into a separate document and then save it as an mp4 file. You can also use YouTube Studio to add them directly into videos. Once you have added your subtitles, make sure they are enabled by clicking on the SUBTITLES tab in YouTube Studio and checking the box next to Enable Subtitles. You can also enable them manually by going into YouTube Studio and clicking on the three lines at the top of the screen that say “Enable Subtitles”.
Upload a Subtitle File
If you want to add subtitles to your YouTube video, there are a few options. You can create a file with the subtitles typed up, upload it to your YouTube account, or type them in while watching the video. ..
You can upload a document with timing or without timing. This means that either the document will match up to timestamps or not, which dictates what file type you can upload. Caption files are just like basic subtitles, but they have captions instead of video.
