YouTube subtitle workflow
Prepare SRT/VTT subtitles for YouTube uploads
Keep your published wording stable by aligning a confirmed script to the final voiceover before you upload subtitle files.
Input: youtube-script.md + final-audio.wav
Output: SRT/VTT with quality status and export preview.
Common review point: a late edit shifts the rest of the subtitle timeline.
Auto captions are convenient until they alter names, numbers, or product terms. TimedSubs starts from the approved script.

FAQ
Does this upload to YouTube for me?
No. TimedSubs is a subtitle preparation tool, not a YouTube publishing platform. It generates SRT or VTT files that are ready to upload manually through YouTube Studio. The file you download matches the approved script, passes quality checks, and uses the timing from your voiceover. Uploading to YouTube Studio and managing caption visibility remains your step.
Can I preview before signing in?
Yes. The public sample project at timedsubs.com/en/sample shows a real script-first result — the timeline, quality issues, subtitle lines, and export state — without requiring sign-in. You can also run a short anonymous trial to test the workflow with your own files before committing. Full project saves, all exports, and plan-based features require creating an account.
