YouTube Videos
Presented by,

2. Step : 1 Create a Plain Text File
• Transcriptionstar provides tips and tricks for you to
upload that perfectly captioned video
•Open a plain text document i.e. txt files. Use notepad
etc. Listen to your recording and type out the audio
portion of your recording
•You can either do it yourself or opt for a transcriber or
captioner.
•Working with a professional can reduce errors and the
time you spend on editing tasks.

3. Step : 2
Format your text file
•Ensure that your lines contain about 7-12
characters. Your text will stay longer on
screen and wont crowd out your visuals
•Use a double space between each line, this
will help YouTube to synch your audio
content with the visuals on screen.
•Don’t forget to capitalize each letter at the
beginning of every sentence.
•Try to spot natural breaks in your audio.
Pauses and line breaks will make your text
more readable.
•Use a font that is easy on the eye

4. Step 3: Go to your Video
Manager
•Navigate to your video manager in YouTube.
•Click the Dropdown menu near the “Edit” button.
•Select the file you want to add captions to and
click on add captions.
•Video Manager> Find video> Add captions

5. Step 4:
Upload your text file
•Click on the “Add Captions” button.
Select the text file you need to upload
by choosing the “Upload a file” option.
•Select the language your caption file is
in and name your track.
•Don’t give weird track names as
viewers can view your track name when
they choose the “Closed captions”
option.
•Choose the caption file that you want
to upload and click on it. The file will
open.
•Once you are done, click the “Synch”
button.

6. To upload captions without a
text script
•Navigate to the video manager and locate the
video you want to add captions to. Click the
“Edit” button and choose “Captions
•Google will auto generate a caption file that
has been transcribed. This file is more often
than not way off the mark.
•YouTube will cancel out the previous text file
and use the captions you’ve uploaded.
•This will zero down errors and make the
captioning process quicker.
