In this video, I'm going to show you how to use Chatgpt to improve closed captions for your videos.
There are other options out there.
If you want to pay for a service that will automatically create closed captions for your videos using
AI and the quality is going to be better.
I'm sure in the future YouTube is going to start using some sort of AI to improve their created closed
captions because for example, let's watch through this video and you'll see that the captions, there's
no punctuation, it's just text, no capitalization and it's not really a nice closed caption experience
for someone watching.
What we can do though, is take these captions and use chatgpt to improve them.
So if you upload a youtube video, if you click on subtitles.
You can actually download these subtitles or you could just literally edit them.
So let's do duplicate and edit.
And now it just includes an entire block of this text.
And so I'm going to take this text sans the music part, and what I'm going to do is just go over to
Chatgpt.
When a star new chat.
So I'm going to tell Chatgpt what I want.
I'm going to say you are a proof reader.
Fix this text.
Enter and I'm pasting this.
All right.
So now it's going to take that and you can see that it's already adding capitalization, punctuation,
commas, question marks.
It's spelling things correctly.
There are points in this video where I talked about Instagram reels, but it spelled it reels.
And so here we have all of this great text now.
It's proofread it.
You can go through and proofread it again.
And now if we go back to the YouTube video, just paste or delete that previous text and then paste
it.
Now you can see if we preview this that this pops up.
Proper punctuation capitalization much, much better.
So that's a way that you can do this on YouTube.
Now, if you have a video and you're just trying to create closed captions that's not on YouTube, you
could actually use this tool for free.
So you can upload to YouTube, have it freely, create closed captions for you, and then go to chatgpt
to proofread it.
And now you have properly transcribed audio and if you want it to go back into closed caption form,
you can paste them to your video settings on YouTube and from there you can actually download these.
So if I click this options button, you could download them as a VTT SRT file and you can use these
when you're editing your videos in Adobe Premiere Pro or other applications.
And so that's one way.
It's sort of a roundabout way to create closed captions.
And like I said, there's other tools out there.
Adobe Premiere Pro already uses some AI to create closed captions automatically.
So this would be more for if you are simply editing and improving your YouTube closed captions.
But I thought this was a pretty cool trick and now that you know how to do this for captions know that
you can use this proofreading for pretty much any text.
So if you're writing long articles, you or books or anything, you can ask chatgpt to be your proofreader.
