Any video content used for teaching at CUNY SPS should include captions and\/or a text transcript to provide access to the video to all users, including those with hearing impairments. Adding captions or creating a transcript is especially easy if you start by working with a script. This page provides a brief introduction to the captioning tool for the videos you have uploaded on YouTube. Note that you can only caption a video that you have uploaded to your own YouTube account; you cannot caption someone else’s video.<\/p>\n

Upload Your Video<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, upload the video you\u2019d like to caption to your YouTube channel. See this help page for step-by-step instructions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Once your file is uploaded into YouTube, you have two options for adding captions:\u00a0 by editing the automatic captions provided by YouTube or by uploading a file.<\/p>\n

Editing automatic captions<\/h2>\n

YouTube creates automatic captions for all videos (just click the CC button on the bottom of the your video). We don’t recommend you use automatic captions without editing<\/strong> because they tend to be inaccurate, especially regarding names and scientific terminology. To edit the auto-generated captions provided by Youtube, click on “English by Youtube (automatic)”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select “Edit on Classic Studio”.<\/p>\n

Once here, you can edit the automatic captioning and the timing by clicking on “Edit” on the top-right hand corner. Once done, click on “Save Changes”.<\/p>\n

Adding captions from a script<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To upload subtitles from a file, go to Details > More Options. Scroll down to “Upload subtitles\/CC”.<\/p>\n
