Get every caption on cue.
A transcript can have the right words and still feel wrong if it arrives at the wrong moment. Here is a simple timing pass for short videos.
Listen before moving anything.
Play the clip with the generated captions visible. Notice where each line begins and where the speaker finishes. Background music, pauses, and quick cuts can make a timestamp feel off even when it looks close in the timeline.
Click a caption to jump to its place in the video. If the words are wrong, correct the text first so you can judge the timing against what is actually spoken.
Move the block, then trim its edges.
Drag a caption block on the timeline if the whole line appears too early or too late. Pull its left or right edge to change when it starts or ends. Keep a short gap where speech pauses naturally, and avoid leaving a finished line over the next shot.
For a long line that covers two thoughts, split the cue at the playhead and edit each part separately. Add a missing caption or remove an unnecessary one when the transcript needs more than a timing tweak.
Preview the result at normal speed.
Use the left and right arrow keys for frame-by-frame seeking when you need a finer visual check. Frame stepping follows the browser’s video frame rate, so it is especially useful around a cut or a quick word. Then play the whole section again: a cue should be comfortable to read, not merely aligned to a waveform.
Export a short test and inspect it in the player where you plan to publish. An SRT track and a captioned MP4 behave differently, so choose the output that fits your platform.
