Download Youtube With Subtitles Embedded

[Gano Richardson]

Im experimenting with uploading .mp4 videos directly to Squarespace rather than embedding YouTube/Vimeo videos. It works fine but there doesn't seem to be any way to add a caption file, and the video player doesn't include closed caption options when you click on the little gear icon. When I look at the code, it seems that Squarespace includes a for captions, but it's empty.

I thought I'd try uploading a caption file to Squarespace's CDN and then use a code block with and tags to create a player (thusly: -US/docs/Web/Guide/Audio_and_video_delivery/Adding_captions_and_subtitles_to_HTML5_video) but before I go about reinventing the wheel ... does anyone have experience with adding subtitles/captions to an uploaded (not embedded) video in Squarespace?

Hi CPiu94 - I'm wondering if you were ever able to add captions to your videos? Did that HTML code work? I'm building a course in SS, and need my videos to have captions - were you able to figure this out? If so, would you mind telling me how? Thank you so much. I'm totally stuck.

when will captions and subtitles be available on squarespace? I'm hoping soon as I'm about to launch my online course and it'll be such a help, do you know any time frame when this will be available or do we need to opt for a different platform

I've faced a similar issue myself. Best solution I can think of is to use the built in Transcribe feature on Microsoft Word, set the Microphone setting on your PC to Stereo MIx and then play the videos into it, it then uploads the audio only to OneDrive and transcribes it within about a minute or so (for a 2 minute video).

I've tested this on a couple of my online courses and this seems to work quite well as I can then paste the transcript into the HTML page holding the video, it isn't captions but seems to be the next best thing.

Hello - curious if there are any updates of SS offering closed captioning with uploaded videos - or if there is a CSS code solve? I am building out an online course and my client wants to purchase the Pro Plan for Digital Products - but without a closed caption setting - SquareSpace is skipping a critical step for fair accessibility. Would hope this is something they are prioritizing.

Hello! Following up again re: Closed Captioning. My client purchased the Pro Plan for Digital Products and we are deep in an Online Course creation. Does anyone have a lead on when SS will be rolling out closed captioning for videos uploaded natively to the platform? Again feels like a big miss / BIG opportunity for digital content and online courses and technically without it, SS is not meeting Accessibility Standards for Online Courses.

If you want captions or subtitles to appear in your embedded player by default, you can do so by adjusting the embed code before placing it on your site. Note that it's not possible to set captions or subtitles to appear by default for video pages on vimeo.com (e.g ), or when embedding videos in applications that do not allow insertion of our embed code.

The language preference you set for the text track parameter must be represented by a lowercase ISO 639-1 language code. Optionally, you can also specify the locale and type of text track (examples: "en", "en-US", "en.captions", "en.subtitles"). You can find a list of standard language codes here.

Suppose you enter a language preference that hasn't yet been uploaded for your particular video. In that case, the text track parameter will be ignored, and your embedded video may load with CC or subtitles disabled by default. Also, please remember that viewers will still have the option to manually turn off or switch to a different language available for your video.

Hi, I am newbie to Infuse (for now paying in a monthly plan because I am testing but if everything goes fine I will switch to a lifetime) and so far I am loving it. I have a Plex Server with a few movies and those are 4K UHD. Subtitles are embedded. For some reason the subtitles load properly but they have a slightly offset. I tried the same movie on the PC using Media Player Classic and the same embedded subtitles just play fine without offset.

I have an .mp4 file (downloaded from somewhere). The file has subtitles. If I run the file in VLC, I can use VLC to select (Subtitle/Sub, or Alt-T) a subtitle track (eg, English). In VLC, the subtitle then displays when I run the file.

If the subtitles are embedded in the MP4, you'll need to find something that can extract them. This article offers suggestions on how to do that for free (includes an option for VLC Player): -subtitles-from-video.html

In order to import into Premere Pro, the subtitles need to be saved as an SRT file. If that's not available when you extract the subtitles, you'd want to convert whatever format you get to SRT for Premiere Pro.

Warren may be right. But the more likely possibility is that you have a sidecar file in the same directory as the mp4. I think it is the default VLC setting to make such a file available as subtitles to select. If that is it, you just need to import the sidecar to PR.

It should be possible to import a video without the YouTube subtitles that can be toggled, right? And then add the script manually later? Is there away to auto generate the subtitles, or do I have to find a script that someone has made for it, or manually make it myself?

This is not possible through LingQ. The subtitles are embedded in the video (hardcoded subtitles) and thus inaccessible by the import tool. You could use an OCR tool to extract these values, which would be more accurate, but getting the timestamps correct would be annoying. You could also use an audio to text tool like AWS Transcribe (Creating video subtitles - Amazon Transcribe).

I am getting perfect timestamps with freesubtitles.ai by downloading the SRT file type. Then upload the audio/video file and SRT file to lingq when importing new lesson. Save and the subtitles are synced.

For an earlier download, (the command for which I have lost,) subtitles were available and I have a good mp4 file and in addition I have another file with suffix .en.vtt. This seems to be a simple text file of the english subtitles and are displayed when I run VLC to play the mp4.

At least this seems to be the case as If I run the mp4 on its own in another directory I get no subtitles. Is it possible to have the subtitles embedded in the video?

Hi and thanks for the reply. Yes I can see that in the example there were no subtitles available but the point of my question is that where subtitle was found I end up with two files and I am asking if the subtitles can be embedded.

If not, it makes the management and playing of these files when stored difficult as they must be treated as a pair. I have added the option --write-subs. Should I have used --embed-subs. Have you come across this before?

So what do we mean by embedded subtitles? Well, embedded subtitles are when the subtitles appear in the exported video, usually along the bottom, and cannot be toggled on or off when the video is being watched.

The alternative to embedding subtitles is to use an SRT file. This is a file that contains the subtitles in a format that allows you to upload it alongside the video to the likes of YouTube, so when someone pressed closed captions, your subtitles can be turned on or off. So why would you choose embedded subtitles? This option assures that the subtitles are there by default, wherever the video will be used, and makes sure that your video is always accessible to a wider audience.

Well, using SRT files means the subtitles can be easily added when you upload your video to your chosen social media platform. As well as giving the users the option to turn subtitles on or off, it allows you to upload your subtitles in multiple languages, meaning you can offer your video to an international audience. Subtitles are often key for people to watch your video. Nowadays, more people are viewing videos with the sound off, so including some form of subtitles on your video can keep your viewers engaged.

Adding subtitles to a video can improve its engagement, but different platforms like Youtube and Facebook have different engines that accept SRT files to display subtitles. You do not control whether your audience opts to view the subtitles unless they are permanently overlayed on the video.

In this article, you will learn more about each way to add subtitles alongside the advantages and drawbacks of each one. To make sure you get the right program, though, you must be clear about your objective. The following table has our top picks for subtitling sorted by use case:

When you permanently embed subtitles into a video, the alphabets of the subtitles become a part of the video content. After that, the subtitles cannot be changed. That's why you should be very careful about the accuracy of the subtitles, especially with auto-captioning tools.

Not all auto-caption engines are built alike. Moreover, you must look for better font and size manipulation for the captions in order to get the best overall visual. The following seven methods can allow you to make subtitles permanent over a video, but not all of them allow equal control or speed over the process.
