Technical Q&A
Is this YouTube subtitle downloader completely free?
What URL formats are supported?
What language are subtitles in?
Why do some videos show "No Subtitles"?
Troubleshooting: YouTube Subtitles Not Working?
Why are my subtitles not appearing?
This is the most common issue. It's usually due to one of three simple causes:
- Missing/Delayed Track: The video only has 'Auto-Generated' CC, and YouTube is slow to process it. Using YTVidHub to extract and re-upload a clean SRT/VTT track bypasses this entirely.
- Browser Cache/Ad-Blocker Interference: Stale session data or aggressive browser extensions often block the YouTube player’s CC module from loading. Try clearing your cache or viewing in an Incognito/Private window first.
- Incorrect Player Setting: If you rely on an external player or custom embed, ensure the language setting matches the track you expect.
How do I fix out-of-sync subtitles?
Desynchronization means the time codes are flawed, and you cannot fix it inside the YouTube player. You must edit the source file:
- Use YTVidHub to download the source SRT or VTT file containing the time stamps.
- Use professional software (like Subtitle Edit) to fine-tune the alignment.
- Re-upload the corrected file as a new subtitle track in YouTube Studio.
Why is my downloaded file format wrong?
If you selected the basic **TXT** output, your video editor won't recognize it because it lacks timestamps. To bypass this frustrating issue, always choose **SRT or VTT output** in YTVidHub—these formats inherently support time codes and are universally accepted by all editors.
