00:00:00.00
I'm going to demonstrate how you can easily add

00:00:02.70
closed captioning to a video on your Mac just using

00:00:06.80
QuickTime player here and a simple text editor.

00:00:11.36
In my case I'm going to use Eddie because it lets me do some fancy replacements

00:00:16.50
which are needed to fix up the time codes, a little bit.

00:00:20.56
I got Eddie from www.el34.com

00:00:25.96
I've opened up a blank document here and I've got my video positioned at the start.

00:00:31.70
Because the first caption will be at the start of the movie, in my case, I'll just

00:00:36.13
double-click the Current Time here, copy it, and paste that into my document and then start a new line.

00:00:43.93
To see the Movie Inspector I just go to the Window menu and "Show Movie Inspector".

00:00:53.13
That shows me the current time as I'm playing through the video.

00:00:56.86
Now I'll click Play and hear what I have to say ...

00:00:59.60
(voice on video) "This is a demonstration of adding closed captioning to your videos"

00:01:06.16
Right:  "This is a demonstration ..."

00:01:15.86
Now we're positioned ready for the next caption so I'll just copy that time-code with Command-C

00:01:24.30
and paste it in there and hear the next bit.

00:01:27.30
(voice on video) "without needing to use any special software"

00:01:31.30
(typing sounds)

00:01:38.26
Copy and paste again ...

00:01:42.13
(voice on video) "other than being able to play back your movie using Quicktime"

00:01:48.90
(typing) "other than ..."

00:02:01.03
Copy another time-code ...

00:02:05.46
(voice on video) "and having access to a text editor."

00:02:08.40
(typing sounds) 

00:02:13.80
OK, that will do for the demonstration.

00:02:18.90
I could go on and get another couple of sentences but I want to quickly show the idea.

00:02:23.96
Now the only problem is that YouTube doesn't accept that leading zero which I think is the hour

00:02:28.73
That would be the hour, the minute, ah, the second ...

00:02:34.26
That must be the day, the hour, the minute, the second and the fraction of a second

00:02:39.43
... so we have to get rid of those leading zeroes.

00:02:41.66
One way would just be to work our way through the file like that and just delete them.

00:02:46.16
I'll put them back because it's a bit tedious if you have hundreds of subtitles.

00:02:50.86
The other way is simply to go into the Search menu -> Find ...

00:02:55.16
and search for a carat symbol followed by 0:00 (^0:00) which is the day and the hour

00:03:04.86
and replace that by 00 and make sure that "Regular Expressions" is checked

00:03:09.33
because the regular expression means it is not actually looking for a carat

00:03:13.83
- it's looking for the start of the line, so if the start of the line starts with 0:00

00:03:19.26
we are just going to replace it by 00.

00:03:21.53
We'll do a "replace all" and you can see now that all the leading zeroes have gone.

00:03:27.56
I can save that as "captions.srt" ...

00:03:31.00
and now that file is ready to be uploaded to YouTube as a caption for this video.

00:03:39.16
I hope that's been helpful.

00:03:40.20
Thank you for watching.
