Using the Smart Player to create Chapters

Closed Captioning online videos is easy with the CaptionSync Smart Player. This tool displays captions for online media in a hassle-free manner, including videos that you do not own. In addition to all the features and enhancements over regular players, it also allows users to create chapters for their content. In this article, we show how.

Creating Chapters using the Smart Player:

Once you have a Smart Player link available for your request, open it on a browser and click Clip & Share. Select a start and end time, and click Generate Url. The resulting Smart Player instance will start and end playing at the timestamps selected via Clip & Share (time is in seconds). Example:

https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1509641360joe_7ca03aea12f6&start=28&end=159

If you have multiple Smart Player instances you want to create chapters for, you can simply paste the respective URLs on a text file, for example, and add the &start=x and &end=x parameters to each URL (x is the time in seconds), with the start and end times in seconds. Examples:

Starts at second #5 and ends at second #84:
https://smartplayer.captionsync.com/play.php?vid=1509641360joe_7ca03aea12f6&start=5&end=84

Starts at second #17 and ends at second #193:
