Many people desire to download YouTube videos with subtitles. This feature is particularly important for professionals such as video editors, translators, narrators, and voice actors. However, many give up on their attempts due to not knowing the correct download method.
This article provides a clear explanation on handling subtitles for those interested in downloading YouTube videos with subtitles. The information is presented in a way that is understandable even for those without specialized knowledge, making it ideal for learning about subtitle download techniques.
Types of Subtitles
There are various subtitle formats available on YouTube, each with its own characteristics. These include subtitles that are independent of the video file, known as external subtitles, and subtitles that are embedded directly into the video, known as internal subtitles. Understanding these types of subtitles is crucial before downloading.
External Subtitles
External subtitles are separate from the video file, allowing viewers to turn them on or off. This category includes soft subtitles, which allow viewers to choose the language and subtitle settings while watching, and pre-rendered subtitles that offer multiple language options and can be switched by the viewer. Pre-rendered subtitles are commonly used in media like DVDs and Blu-rays where the subtitles are edited in advance.
Internal Subtitles
Internal subtitles, also known as hard subs, are permanently embedded within the video and cannot be controlled by the viewer. Once set, these subtitles cannot be edited or removed, making them suitable for videos where constant subtitle visibility is desired.
Understanding both external and internal subtitles is important to make videos more accessible and enjoyable for viewers with hearing disabilities or those who speak different languages. The choice of subtitle format should be made according to the viewer’s needs.
