Adding subtitles to Google Drive
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Upload your video to Google Drive
|
||
|
|
2. Right click the video in Google Drive and click Manage caption tracks
|
||
|
|
3. Click Add new captions or transcripts
|
||
|
|
4. Upload a supported subtitle file
|
||
|
|
* I have verified that Google Drive will accept .srt and .vtt subtitles. It
|
||
|
|
might accept others as well, but I have not tested them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you have uploaded your subtitles, they should be available the next time
|
||
|
|
the video is refreshed by CyTube (either restart it or delete the playlist item
|
||
|
|
and add it again). On the video you should see a speech bubble icon in the
|
||
|
|
controls, which will pop up a menu of available subtitle tracks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Limitations ##
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Google Drive converts the subtitles you upload into a custom format which
|
||
|
|
loses some information from the original captions. For example, annotations
|
||
|
|
for who is speaking are not preserved.
|
||
|
|
* As far as I know, Google Drive is not able to automatically detect when
|
||
|
|
subtitle tracks are embedded within the video file. You must upload the
|
||
|
|
subtitles separately (there are plenty of tools to extract
|
||
|
|
captions/subtitles from MKV and MP4 files).
