In this video, I'm going to show you how to add a caption file to one of your videos
inside YouTube.
Now, this has to be one of your own videos.
You can't add a caption file to someone else's YouTube video.
If you're working with a captioning vendor, they might ask which type of caption file
you'd like.
I always opt for an .srt file, since it's a very common type of caption file.
All right, so here I am on the main page it takes me to after I've logged in to YouTube.
You can click on Video Manager to get a list of your most recently uploaded videos, or
if you've put the video you want to caption in a playlist, you can go right to that playlist.
Once you've found your video, there are actually a few different ways to get to the
screen you need.
One way is to click on the video, itself.
It'll start playing as soon as the page loads, so I'm going to pause it.
Then, I click on the CC symbol that appears below the video.
This takes me to the subtitle and captioning screen.
Now for this video that I uploaded, you'll see that for some bizarre reason, YouTube
decided to publish some auto-generated Spanish captions.
I have no idea why.
So after I upload the English captions, I'm going to have to go back in and turn off the Spanish ones.
Okay, so to upload the caption file I got from the vendor, I click on this blue button
for "Add new subtitles or CC."
It gives me this dropdown menu asking what language I'm using, and I'll click on
the choice for English.
It then gives me 3 choices, and I want this top choice: "Upload a file."
So I click on "Upload a file"…
And I get a pop-up that looks like it's warning me about something.
But really, it's just letting me know that if, for example, it had already generated
some automatic English captions for me, that the captions in the file I'm uploading now
are going to overwrite those captions or any captions I had started manually typing out myself.
So I'm going to leave it on Transcript and I'm going to click the button for Choose file.
Now I've been adding a lot of caption files to videos this week, so it knows to go right
to my Downloads folder, which is where I have all the .srt files I downloaded from the vendor.
And I want the .srt file for Session 1 Part 7, so I'm going to go ahead and click on it,
then click Open.
Then I click the blue Upload button.
And then I can see that my captions have been added to my video.
If I want to, I can play the video and fix any caption mistakes here in the editor.
When I'm done doing that I click Save, and my captions have been added to my video.
Now, those random Spanish captions are still there. (Sometimes you might see auto-generated
English captions that you didn't want also turned on).
So I'm going to show you how to turn them off.
Sometimes, the button for those unwanted captions is grayed out, which means they're turned off.
But if there's a green circle next to it, like we see here with the Spanish captions,
they're turned on and you gotta turn them off.
Just click on the button that says "Spanish (Automatic)" (or "English (Automatic)")
and then toward the upper right corner you'll see a button for Unpublish.
But hold on, it's a little tricky.
Be sure not to click Save after your click that Unpublish button.
Okay, so I'll click Unpublish to turn off captions.
But I'm not going to click Save Changes, because if I do then YouTube thinks I've
edited my Spanish subtitles and I want to turn them back on.
Instead, I'll click Delete Draft, and then it'll ask me if I'm sure I want to permanently
delete this draft, which winds up deleting this set of captions.
So I'll click 'Delete Draft' because I do want them deleted and now those Spanish
captions are gone.
