in today's video I'm going to show you
how you can easily put captions and
subtitles over your facebook and youtube
videos without paying someone to
transcribe them for you that's coming up
next
ok guys let's jump straight into this
now the first option for creating
captions for your videos on YouTube and
this is how you do it really really
quick and easy so we're going to go over
the subtitles and CC now as you can see
here YouTube will actually automatically
read your video and it will pump out
these subtitles here when it comes up so
as you can see, "Good morning everyone
happy monday Jake here from NextGen Visuals so as you
can see that it's done a pretty good job
there's a reason for that because I've
already been in here and fixed these ones
up but initially if you were to get just
the automatic version there would
definitely be some mistake guys so to
go through that we click on here in
english automatic button now as you can
see you all of these it reads it and
then puts them all up in here now in the
automatic one this is how it came out
and initially so let's just morning
everyone happy monday jake connects
individuals i just wanna see and as you
can see there so I said Jake here for
nextge visuals and that came up with formation
visuals so as you can see it's it's a
little bit accurate but not completely
accurate so if we were doing this and we
didn't have a transcript then to edit
these here guys I just click on the edit
button and as you as you go through the
video you can just you go straight in
here so you can see Good morning
everyone happy monday say Jacob that's
the first mistake that should be Jake
here and then you would just go through
the video one by one and it moves along
and you go through and you fix up all
those words until it reads correctly now
once you've published your automatic
version it'll show up as this english
version down here and that will be your
new correct one so what we can do with
this English one guys as we can go back
in here and then we can click on actions
and get unpublished because we don't
want people to be able to see that
automatic version
with the wrong stuff on there and once
you've unpublished it go 'discard edits'
and get rid of it so then when you go
back you'll just have your English one
which is the correct one there so your
subtitles are published on your youtube video
but there's one last step that we need
to do which is super super important to
be able to get these same subtitles up
on your facebook version so what we need to
do is click on your actions button here
and go download in this dot SRT format
once you have downloaded that .SRT
file from youtube I just want you to
rename it you can call it whatever you
want whatever you want but just all you
have to do is add in another .en_US
underscore us srt and i'll show you the
reason why we do that when we get onto
the facebook version
ok so now it's time to show you how to
get these little bad boys up on here
fantastic we're going to do is go up here to
to our status upload photos and video and
upload the video that you want
now that's going to be uploading there
and what we want to do is go to our
caption section, ahh here we go
upload SRT file to create one of these
SRT files is actually really really
difficult you can't do it in Microsoft
Word or text editor or something normal
like that it's actually quite difficult
so that's why you have to go through
YouTube at all you don't have two but it's
the easiest way and quickest way when
you go through youtube so now let's
upload that .SRT file we had in our downloads
downloads here it is here as it says
here guys you need to have this little
.en_US into the thing now the
last thing you want to do is change your
default language to that version that
you just uploaded and once you've got
that guy's your captions will be ready
ok guys the third and final way
to easily put your captions on to your
Facebook videos is only available once
your video has actually been on there
for a couple of minutes and maybe half
an hour may even be enough for some
people but depending on the length of
the video but you need to wait a certain
amount of time so that Facebook can
register what you're actually saying in
in there because thankfully facebook has
finally put in an automatic captioning
feature which is pretty new and it is
absolutely fantastic it's very similar
to what happens on youtube so it makes
it really easy and cuts out the whole
messing around having to get the dot SRT
file which you can be difficult for you
if you haven't done it yet to get onto
the automatic caption editor in your
facebook video just go down to your edit
post and that will open back up that
option here go back into your captions
and as you can see now that we wait a
little while there's this little this
little generate ones who yes and says we
only support edit auto caption now and
will support to edit all captions in the
near future so editing the auto
captions means that you have to i think
not have other captions there yeah they
do so once you get rid of your .SRT
file or if you don't have one originally
you can now actually go to generate and
Facebook will automatically generate
those captions just like it did on
youtube and you can do exactly the same
thing but as you can see again guys
automatic caption editor makes some
mistakes and apparently I'm Jackie from
Mission visual and this is a quick video
so yeah again just like you did
on youtube guys you're gonna have
to go back through and change around
your text again. This totally cuts out the
middleman of going to youtube first and
downloading that dot SRT file and the
only thing is guys this is it isn't
available unless the video has been on
there for a little while and has fully
fully loaded up into the things to make
sure guys if you don't see that generate
feature there just yet
don't fret it will go there once your
video does load up a little bit more you
just got to spend a little bit of time
and allow enough time for facebook to
recognize the automatic captions that it
creates for you and finally once you've
finished editing that just go saved
the video and then those will be there
for you ready to go as well thanks so
