YouTube is the biggest video streaming platform in the world…and thanks to A.I. and YouTube Shorts, they’ve had record-breaking growth…  This new system Nitro AI is drive by an A.I. Breakthrough, that's allowing you to exploit YouTube Shorts for Profit.

YouTube, the world’s most popular video-sharing platform, is a digital behemoth that has revolutionized content consumption. Let’s delve into its vastness and explore how it compensates creators.

YouTube’s Immense Scale

YouTube Royalties for Creators

  • Yes, YouTube pays royalties to musicians and content creators across various categories.
  • The royalty system can be intricate due to three primary groups:
    1. YouTube Music: A premium service separate from standard YouTube.
    2. Official Channels: Where musicians post their music videos.
    3. Content ID: YouTube’s automated system for copyright owners to identify videos using their content.

How Royalties Work on YouTube

  1. Performance Royalties:
    • These come from broadcasts of your music. When your song plays in a video, you earn performance royalties.
    • YouTube pays based on views. The more views, the more royalties you receive.
  2. Mechanical Royalties:
    • These stem from interactive streaming of your song.
    • When viewers listen to your music on YouTube, you earn mechanical royalties.
  3. Monetization:
    • To earn revenue, you must monetize your content by signing up for Content ID.
    • YouTube places ads (or banner ads) on your videos. If viewers engage with these ads (watching more than 30 seconds or clicking), you share the revenue: YouTube (45%) and you (55%).

YouTube Music and Regular YouTube

In summary, YouTube’s vastness and intricate royalty system make it both a creative playground and a lucrative platform for content creators. 🎥🎵📺

How to add chapters and sub-titles to youtube videos? A question for the new ChatGPT-4 today

Searching for: how to add chapters and sub-titles to youtube videos

Hello, this is Bing. I can help you with that.😊

According to the web search results, there are two ways to add chapters and sub-titles to your YouTube videos: manually or automatically.

 

To add chapters manually, you need to list the timestamps and titles of each chapter in your video’s description1234. For example:

0:00 - Introduction

1:23 - Chapter 1: How to add chapters

3:45 - Chapter 2: How to add sub-titles

5:06 - Conclusion

 

To add chapters automatically, you need to enable the automatic chapters feature in YouTube Studio5.

 

This will generate chapters based on your video’s content and speech recognition.

 

To add sub-titles manually, you need to go to YouTube Studio > Subtitles > Add Language > Add Subtitles6.

 

You can then type or upload your sub-titles for each language.

 

To add sub-titles automatically, you need to enable the automatic captions feature in YouTube Studio6.

 

This will generate captions based on your video’s speech and sound.

I hope this helps. Do you have any other questions?

Supported subtitle and closed caption files

A subtitle or closed caption file contains the text of what is said in the video. It also contains time codes for when each line of text should be displayed. Some files also include position and style info, which is especially useful for deaf or hard of hearing viewers. See what file formats YouTube supports below.

If you’re new to creating caption files, you may want to use SubRip (.srt) or SubViewer (.sbv). They only require basic timing info, and can be edited using any plain text editing software.

The main difference between SubRip and SubViewer files is the format of the caption start and stop times. Here are examples of both formats:

SubRip (.srt) example
1
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:04,160
>> ALICE: Hi, my name is Alice Miller and this is John Brown

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,770
>> JOHN: and we're the owners of Miller Bakery.

3
00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:10,880
>> ALICE: Today we'll be teaching you how to make
our famous chocolate chip cookies!

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,700
[intro music]

5
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:21,480
Okay, so we have all the ingredients laid out here
SubViewer (.sbv) example
0:00:00.599,0:00:04.160
>> ALICE: Hi, my name is Alice Miller and this is John Brown

0:00:04.160,0:00:06.770
>> JOHN: and we're the owners of Miller Bakery.

0:00:06.770,0:00:10.880
>> ALICE: Today we'll be teaching you how to make
our famous chocolate chip cookies!

0:00:10.880,0:00:16.700
[intro music]

0:00:16.700,0:00:21.480
Okay, so we have all the ingredients laid out here

From Wikipedia:

SubRip file format[edit]

The SubRip file format is described on the Matroska multimedia container format website as "perhaps the most basic of all subtitle formats."[17] SubRip (SubRip Text) files are named with the extension .srt, and contain formatted lines of plain text in groups separated by a blank line. Subtitles are numbered sequentially, starting at 1. The timecode format used is hours:minutes:seconds,milliseconds with time units fixed to two zero-padded digits and fractions fixed to three zero-padded digits (00:00:00,000). The fractional separator used is the comma, since the program was written in France.

  1. A numeric counter identifying each sequential subtitle
  2. The time that the subtitle should appear on the screen, followed by --> and the time it should disappear
  3. Subtitle text itself on one or more lines
  4. A blank line containing no text, indicating the end of this subtitle[17]

Example for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones:

1
00:02:16,612 --> 00:02:19,376
Senator, we're making
our final approach into Coruscant.

2
00:02:19,482 --> 00:02:21,609
Very good, Lieutenant.

3
00:03:13,336 --> 00:03:15,167
We made it.

4
00:03:18,608 --> 00:03:20,371
I guess I was wrong.

5
00:03:20,476 --> 00:03:22,671
There was no danger at all.

Use automatic captioning: Captions are a great way to make content accessible for viewers. YouTube can use speech recognition technology to automatically create captions for your videos. Note: These automatic captions are generated by machine learning algorithms, so the quality of the captions may vary.

We encourage creators to add professional captions first. YouTube is constantly improving its speech recognition technology. However, automatic captions might misrepresent the spoken content due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise. You should always review automatic captions and edit any parts that haven't been properly transcribed.

Automatic captions on long-form videos and Shorts. Automatic captions are available in Dutch, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Vietnamese. We encourage creators to add professional captions first. If automatic captions are available, they'll automatically be published on the video. Automatic captions may not be ready at the time that you upload a video. Processing time depends on the complexity of the video's audio.

YouTube is constantly improving its speech recognition technology. But automatic captions might misrepresent the spoken content due to mispronunciations, accents, dialects, or background noise. Always review automatic captions and edit any parts that haven't been properly transcribed.

Here's how you can review automatic captions and make changes, if needed:

Sign in to YouTube Studio. From the left menu, select Subtitles. Click the video you want to add captions or subtitles to. Under “Subtitles”, click More next to the subtitles you want to edit. Review automatic captions and edit or remove any parts that haven't been properly transcribed. Troubleshoot automatic captions issues. If your video doesn't generate automatic captions, it could be due to one or more of the following reasons:

The captions aren't available yet due to processing complex audio in the video. Automatic captions don't support the language in the video. The video is too long. The video has poor sound quality or YouTube doesn't recognize the speech. There’s a long period of silence at the beginning of the video. There are multiple speakers whose speech overlaps.
