Use YouTube to automatically create a rough captions track for your movie. Export the timed captions as an SRT file. Every video uploaded to YouTube is automatically captioned, and although this is an amazing feature its far from perfect. Learn how to leverage this feature to generate a rough captions track that you can import into Camtasia and perfect for your movie.
- [Instructor] Manually typing out captions…is a labor-intensive job.…There's a hidden free feature in YouTube…that can automatically take on some of this work…for you, and help you get your captions closer…to a finished state.…However, this process is not perfect, and you will still…need to go through the automatically generated…captions file line-by-line and make corrections.…To use the method, you'll need to have an account…on YouTube.…Begin by uploading a finished copy of your movie to YouTube.…

That way, I know when I see a listing of this…in my YouTube account, that it's something…
