Use the Caption Editor to Perfect Your Video Captions

Accurate captions are essential for ensuring your video content is accessible and engaging for all viewers. The Caption Editor lets you easily review, edit, and fine-tune your VTT caption files to ensure they match your video content perfectly. Here’s how to use it!

Why Use the Caption Editor?

Even the best auto-generated captions can sometimes contain misspellings or simply misinterpretate what is being said. The Caption Editor gives you complete control over your captions, allowing you to refine each line and make sure it accurately reflects your video content. This helps enhance viewer comprehension and ensures that every detail is clear and accessible.

How to Use the Caption Editor

Here’s a step-by-step guide to using the Caption Editor for editing your captions:

1. Open the Media Library
   Start by locating your video in the Media Library. Make sure there’s an associated VTT caption file for the video you want to edit.

2. Select the Caption File
   In the video’s details panel, locate the Caption tab.

3. Launch the Caption Editor
   Select the "Edit" button to launch the Caption Editor. This will bring up an editable view of each caption line and the exact time it appears in the video.

4. Review and Edit Each Caption
   Correct Misspellings or Transcription Errors: Scroll through each caption and edit any misspelled or incorrectly transcribed words. You can combine lines and delete whole sections, as needed.

5. Save Your Changes
   Once you’ve finished making edits, select Save. Please note that these changes are instant and will appear wherever the video with captions is displayed.

Using the Caption Editor allows you to take full control over your captions, ensuring they’re polished and perfectly aligned with your video content. Enjoy the flexibility of making your captions just right for any audience!
