Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Alec here with VEED and in this video I'm going to be showing you how to add subtitles to a YouTube video. So, YouTube has recently updated their upload process and now during the upload process you can add subtitles while you're uploading your video. Now in this video I'm going to walk you through that step by step and we'll be adding our subtitles to the YouTube video manually but after I've shown you this I'm going to be showing you how to automatically generate a subtitle SRT file so you can upload your subtitles with your YouTube video at the same time in just a few clicks. And with that being said, let's get started. So, once we're on YouTube to add subtitles to our video while we upload it we're just going to upload a video as we would normally. So, here I'm just going to click on the create button right here and then we're just going to select upload video. Now we're taken to the YouTube video upload page and this is where I'm going to select the YouTube video I want to upload to YouTube. So, I click on select files and then here I'm just going to select my YouTube videos. As you see I've got it here ready, I click open and now it's being uploaded to YouTube. So, as you can see our video is now being uploaded and here we can fill out all the information for ourselves. So, we can now upload our video as if we would normally. So, when you upload a video normally to YouTube you go ahead you fill out the title, you fill out the description, you might add a thumbnail, you might add some tags at the bottom. Then once we click next to go to the next step for the video elements, here you'll notice that at the top we have this new section which is add subtitles right next to it as you can see new. Now there's always been the possibility to add subtitles to a YouTube video but here YouTube implemented this section directly within the upload process. Because they know how important subtitles are and how important they're becoming. Because video content is dominating online and it even says just below reach a broader audience by adding subtitles to your video. So, even YouTube knows that if you add subtitles to video you're going to get more reach and more views. Now to add these subtitles all we're going to do is click on add right next to add subtitles and now you might recognize this. This is the YouTube subtitle editor. Now here as you can see we've got three options. We can upload a file that we've already created. So, this could be an SRT file. However, we don't have one but stick around. I'm going to show you how to generate one of these automatically for your video. Then we can auto sync and this is basically if you have a full transcript of your video's script. You can basically just copy and paste it and then YouTube will auto sync it up to match the words when you say them. And then obviously we've got type manually and this is where you can add subtitles in manually by clicking in the time and then typing out what I say. So, for an example if I just want to add a subtitle here I click on type manually and then at the beginning let's listen to what I say.

Speaker 2: So, I've got this video.

Speaker 1: So, my very first subtitle would be so I've got this video. So, I've got this video. Perfect. Now as you can see for the timestamps for this subtitle we go from 0 seconds to 1.29 seconds. So, if I play it back and we pay attention here we can actually see the subtitle in the box. So, I've got this video and I want to add subtitles to it. So, as you can see our subtitle is dragging a little bit because it disappears after we finish saying it. So, here we can either go and adjust the timestamp right here or we can go and just click and drag it directly within the timeline and then I can click on add caption to add the next one. So, let's see what I say next and I want to add subtitles to it. Okay, here I say and I want to add subtitles to it. So, now I've got my first two subtitles and that's how you add subtitles to your YouTube video. You can understand that it can be very time consuming. Once you've finished adding all your subtitles. All you want to do is make sure you click done in the top right and then YouTube will save your subtitles. However, as you notice this takes a lot of time. So, here's how to automatically generate a subtitle file for your video. So, we're going to head over to a website called Veed.io. You can either head over to Google and Google Veed which is V-E-E-D. If not, as usual the link is going to be in the description down below. Once you're on Veed if you don't already have an account you can create an account for free. And if you do we're just going to click on the create new project button. Here we're taken to the upload section. And we're just going to click on upload a file. Select our YouTube video. Click open. And as you can see our YouTube video is now imported into Veed's video editor. So, now if we take a look and press play. So, I've got this video. We have the exact same video. And basically to automatically generate subtitles for my YouTube video. All I have to do is click on the subtitle tab in the left toolbar. And here again we've got three options. And this time one of the options is auto transcribe. And as you can see here it says automatically add subtitles to your video. So, if I click on this I then select the language that I want to automatically transcribe and turn into subtitles. Here as you can see I've got English. And I'm just going to stay with English. Then I click on start. And as you can see this process may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the length of your video. To automatically transcribe your video's audio into text and turn that text into subtitles. So, as you can see Veed has just finished generating the subtitles for our video. And now the first thing you'll notice. Is that our sentence. So, I've got this video and I want to add subtitles to it. This is the exact video that we typed out manually within YouTube's studio. So, now if I press play and we take a look. So, I've got this video and I want to add subtitles to it. Hey everyone. My name is Alec. And in this video I'm going to be showing you how to add subtitles to any video online. And to get started. So, as you can see we've automatically generated the subtitles for our video. Now, if you want to change and adjust a few things. For example. This automatically generated transcript. As you can see here it says Alec's instead of Alec's. So, I'm just going to quickly correct that. But this is a very common mistake even on the iPhone. My name is always auto corrected to Alec's. But I always recommend just quickly going through and checking your subtitles. But just from the first sentence we can see that it's already pretty accurate. And then to download it as an SRT file. So, we can upload it to YouTube. All we're going to do is click on the options tab right here. And then here we have the download subtitles section. And we have multiple formats which we can download our subtitles as. And we're just going to select SRT format which is the SubRip subtitle format. Click on download. And as you can see here we now have our SRT file. So, I'm going to head over back to YouTube. And this time I'm just going to delete the subtitles that I manually typed in. And if we click on add again. Here we're going to click on upload a file. I'm going to choose with timing because the SubRip subtitle file has timing. I click continue. And then I'm just going to select the SRT file that we've just automatically generated using VEED. Click open. And now as you can see all of the subtitles with the corrections that I made have been imported in to YouTube. And now I can just click done. And that is how to upload subtitles to a YouTube video after YouTube's new upload process update. If you have any questions about adding subtitles to a YouTube video.
