Is there a need/want for using youtube subtitles for youtube encodes of TASes? I created a program to help with adding subtitles to the videos in this playlist. I'm not sure if it would be necessary, as there are likely less subtitles for most of these videos, but it could be helpful. The basic idea I tried to accomplish with this program was:
  • Paste all the subtitles in that I want into it (one on each line)
  • Click a button to start a timer (coinciding with when the video starts)
  • Click a "next" button each time the next subtitle is to come up as I watch the video
  • Text is auto-created in youtube's subtitle format with the times that you clicked the button for each subtitle line.
This format is a real pain to do manually, especially if you've got a lot of subtitles, so this saved me a ton of time with the playlist above. I still need to clean this code up a bit, but would this be useful to anyone? (It's also very possible that there is an existing program that does this much better than I did. Feel free to link to that here if so!)
