What is a(n) SBV file?
The SBV (YouTube Captions Format) is a text-based file format for captioning videos on YouTube.SBV files typically contain transcript lines, which are composed of one or two lines of text that can be used to display subtitles and closed captions in a video. Each line of text in an SBV file includes the start timecode, end timecode and text associated with each presentation. The text and timecodes are separated by commas. SBV files are supported as input for YouTube videos, and can also be uploaded directly to the platform as a caption file.
SBV files offer flexibility in how they can be managed and used for subtitles and added captions in YouTube videos. They can either be manually created, imported from other formats or downloaded automatically from the different YouTube transcription services. The file content including its text transcript is UTF-8 compliant, making it simple to include non-English languages within the captions.
