Captioning YouTube videos

Closed Captioning YouTube videos with CaptionSync is easy. To have YouTube videos captioned, you just need to follow the instructions in our Captioning Your own YouTube Videos article (for videos you own), or Captioning Someone Else's YouTube Videos article (for videos you don't own).

Currently, YouTube supports the following caption file formats provided by CaptionSync:

• .srt - SubRip
• .scc - Scenarist Closed Caption
• .smi - Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange
• .dfxp - Distribution Format Exchange Profile
• .lrc - For lyrics
• .rt - RealText
• .cap - Cheetah binary captions
• .asc - Cheetah text captions

We also have an article where we describe some known issues and tips regarding YouTube's Captioning feature.

CaptionSync now has the ability to deliver caption files directly into your YouTube account, when a Transcription/Captioning request is made via our List of URLs feature and our YouTube Integration.
