<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The short answer is Yes. If you have a transcript of the video,
one solution would be to upload the transcript and let YouTube perform the
auto-timing function to generate a time-stamped file. You can then
download that time-stamped file.<br>
<br>
The time-stamped file from YouTube (using the auto-timing function) will be a
"SBV" file. The recent version of MovCaptioner will allow you
to import a SBV file where you can make changes to the timing, etc.
MovCaptioner is just a captioning application for the Mac platform ($40, but
has free trial period). You can import a SBV file and then export a SRT
file - Todd S. mentioned this workflow in a previous e-mail. MovCaptioner
supports *a lot* of different file formats to import and export.<br>
<br>
If you already have a captioning application that supports the SRT format (but
not SBV), then you can use this Website to convert YouTube's SBV to the SRT
format -<br>
<a href="http://www.gidsgoldberg.com/sbv_docs_converter.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.gidsgoldberg.com/sbv_docs_converter.shtml</a>
. Then you can make any changes, export a SRT file from your captioning
application, and upload back to the YouTube presentation.<br>
<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
