Hello, this is Yahweasel!
I built a tool to make captioning YouTube videos far, far easier.
In a previous video, I show– well, in a previous video I begged YouTube to actually
steal this idea entirely.
In this video, because some people have asked, I'm gonna show you how to use it to actually
punctuate YouTube videos.
So, here is the YouTube punctuator, you can find it at yahweasel.com/punctuate, and, well,
it's, uh, pretty terrible looking, but let's, let's just figure out how to use it.
So, basically the idea is, YouTube does automatic transcriptions that are actually quite good,
and YouTube can take a transcription and apply it to the audio without any timing information.
So, all we need to do is take the automatic transcriptions that YouTube already gives,
give some punctuation to them so that they are actually grammatical, what an idea, and
then paste them back into YouTube again.
But, YouTube doesn't quite provide the tools to do that.
So, this primarily is a YouTube punctuator.
It is just for taking text and adding punctuation to it.
So, step one, of course, is getting that text.
So here is the standard YouTube video editing page, this is my most recent upload—boy
I get a lot of views, yay—anyway, so this is what you will see if you actually own the
video you would like to add subtitles to.
So you can go over here and click subtitles/closed captioning and it'll tell you all the information
you need, uh, but if we go to "English automatic" there and click "download as SBV" then back
in the punctuator we have a load sub file option to load an SBV file, and if I click
load, here we go, this is just the text from the automatically-generated YouTube subtitles.
Now, that's if you do have access to the video editor, let's say you want to add subtitles
to somebody else's video.
Well, it's a bit less pleasant, to say the least, so here is the actual, just, viewer
page, this is the page that you'll get if you try to view a YouTube video, at least
in the desktop.
Now, if we click more actions, you can click transcript, then for some reason it doesn't
quite want to show a transcript but if you insist, ah, there we go, I want the English
transcript from automatic captions.
Then you'll get this screen, and all we want to do is copy all of this.
So, I'm just going to select it all, copy, and paste it into the punctuator.
It'll look pretty ugly, but I've got a solution to that: remove formatting from transcript
copy-paste here, and there we go.
It looks exactly like it did from the, from the YouTube download directly.
Now we want to actually get the YouTube video here.
So, we just paste in a standard YouTube video link, hit enter, it loads, and here it is.
And now for the actual editing.
So, you'll see that there's this little check box here that says "punctuation mode".
You can click it to turn on punctuation mode, but you don't want to do that.
Down here in "hotkeys" you can see that if you have this text box selected and click
backtick, then that will turn on and off punctuation mode.
In essence, punctuation mode is what you use when you're editing punctuation, non-punctuation
mode is what you use to edit text.
So, if I'm in punctuation mode, we see J goes back a word and K goes forward a word.
Right now I'm at the very beginning, so if I press K then I move there, and I just press
K over and over again I move a word at a time, and that's mostly what's going to be involved
in the editing, because you move a word at a time adding punctuation where necessary.
If I want to delete—oops—if I want to delete a word, delete whatever word I'm currently
looking at, whatever the next word is, then—what does it say?—so D will do that.
So, music doesn't really help me here, I'm just going to delete that.
Now, it's left an extra space here, so I'm actually going to go out of punctuation mode
and just as a regular text editor remove that extra space.
And, let's see, if I want to uppercase this word I press U, so now "hello" is uppercase,
and to insert punctuation I just insert the punctuation.
If I want an exclamation point, I type an exclamation point.
And you can see it puts in the exclamation point, it puts in line breaks because that's
what you want.
That's what you want to paste in as a YouTube transcription, that is.
And then it moves you to the next word.
Now, if I press space then it'll actually play the video.
Now of course, "this is the always oh" isn't quite correct there, but I can just get rid
of those very quickly by hitting D, I go out of punctuation mode, type in "Yahweasel, comma",
and now I can, by going back into punctuation mode, press space again and it will continue
playing.
Okay!
So, we move on and say "let's play the Final Fantasy Legend", capitalized, and you can
see that the actual words are pretty close, so all I really need to do is get in the punctuation.
Now I've mentioned all the important things here, the only other thing sort of worth mentioning
is that hyphen does both hyphens and en dashes and em dashes, and capital U– like, lowercase
U upper-cases, capital U shout-cases a word if you want that.
So, we can simply play the video, move a word at a time.
I'm going to do that in fast motion.
[Fast forwarding]
And here we are!
So, I have, in more-or-less real-time—that took me a bit longer than 16 minutes cuz I
had to pause quite a bit, but you know, fairly close to in real-time—as the video plays,
I have punctuated it.
Of course, it's more difficult with a video like this one than it is with a well rehearsed,
scripted video, because I have a lot of, you know, trailing off with ellipses, and things
where I cut myself off and so I used en dashes and such.
It's a little bit trickier with that, but, now I have a transcript.
So, how do we actually use this transcript?
If you are the actual content owner, and thus you have the video editing screen, it's quite
easy: I go over to subtitles / closed captioning here, I click, in this case, English, and
it gives me this "transcribe and auto-sync" option.
I paste it in there, where originally it said "type what's spoken here", and you simply
click "set timings" just like it says and it will automatically line up your text with
the speech in the video.
So, I press set timings, and now it says setting timings and we just wait a couple minutes.
And, after waiting, and then reloading this page, it will say you have an English draft.
It is grayed out because it is not yet published, so we click through here.
If you'd like you can go through and make sure that the timings actually align.
I find that its transcript timings are usually pretty good.
I mean, I can immediately see the hello seems a little bit early– or a little bit late,
sorry, there.
Whoops, oh God!
So if I go through to here, yeah, it's actually saying that slightly through "hello", so I
can drag that over and correct it as I will.
I find, given how good the the algorithms are, it's usually not worthwhile to go through
the entire video and correct the timings, they're all close enough.
And then when you're satisfied with it you click "publish" and there you go!
Now I have published the original automatic English captions, of course, those are there
to stay, you can remove them if you like, as well as the English captions that I have
just added through the punctuation tool.
So, that whole process probably took me about 20 minutes, as opposed to countless, countless
hours to do that if you wanted to do that just by transcribing from scratch.
Now, unfortunately, there, there is a downside here.
Let's say instead I wanted to add these transcriptions to a video that is not mine.
That is, say, a Game Grumps video, for example.
So, I can get the transcript from here, it will happily give me the automatically generated
transcript.
It's, you know, not great: "hey I'm Gus I'm not to graph where the gang grass please for
the love of God."
Actually, "please for the love of God release me" is probably exactly what they said!
Now, if I click "add subtitle/CC" then it does give me the opportunity to submit subtitles,
because they do allow contributions.
They do request that you help them and give them contributions.
But, you'll notice that this is not the automatic timing from transcriptions screen.
And unfortunately, YouTube simply does not give you access to the automatic timing from
transcriptions screen for anybody else's videos.
It comes close, because "upload a file" says "upload a text transcription or time subtitle
file", but then it says "file type", oh, sorry, you can't actually upload a text transcription!
So, please YouTube, at least fix this!
So, what do you do?
Well, you're just gonna have to make the text transcription and give it to them via some
other means.
Certainly with me, I, I provide plenty of means by which you could give me a text transcription
file.
I do watch your text transcription files!
So, you could email it to me via the email on my channel page, you could tell me about
it in Discord or whatever, there are lots of ways, but it is, you know, a bit unfortunate
that you can't just submit it directly through the interface that's meant literally for exactly
that thing.
So, that's a bit ugly, the other way you could do it is you could use a YouTube downloader
to download the, the, at least the audio from a particular video, and then actually upload
that as a private video, use the built-in transcription tool to add subtitles to that
video, download the subtitles from that video, and then submit them here.
That's obviously a somewhat crazy way to do it, but it would work, and it wouldn't necessarily
involve them.
So, that's probably the most broken part of this process right now, and it ain't my fault!
YouTube, fix that please!
But, overall, particularly for your own videos, but even for somebody else's videos, this
is a much, much faster way of captioning than doing it entirely by hand.
Okay!
If you have any other questions, ask me in the comments below.
If you want to use this the caption my videos, by all means do.
Like I said, there are various ways you can get the captions to me: you could look at
the email on my about page, on my channel page, you could just tell me about them in
Discord, whatever works for you.
And otherwise, thank you for watching, please do get to captioning if you're interested.
Cheers from Yahweasel!
