Paste a prepared script into the caption text box and synchronize the captions with the audio playback. Using a prepared script allows you to save the text for future use and to check for spelling and grammatical errors.
With this process, when a script is pasted in the captions field, a caption turns red to identify that it exceeds the limit of three lines per caption. The red text indicates where a new caption should begin. Upon playback of the audio, when you hear the first word in red spoken aloud, click on it to create the next caption.
Captions created using this process are added sequentially on the timeline and come one after another.
