YouTube Video Transcript misinterpreting audio as a swear word and putting in transcript
-
Hi
I've just noticed a video uploaded to a clients youtube channel is misinterpreting a spoken word as a swear word, the F word :), will this have negative connotations ? could it result in video being considered 'adult content' ??
Any idea how to get this changed, should i report/flag it or will that likely make matters worse ? Or YT tech support email (chance would be a fine thing) ?
Also how do you set a video as the channel trailer ? (i cant find any option to do this)
Cheers
Dan

Many Thanks

Hey Dan,
In short - no, I don't think is going to be a problem for you. YouTube are aware that their auto-generated transcripts are often inaccurate, so I don't imagine you're going to find that profanity coming up there has any effect on the categorization of the video. That said, It's really easy to fix by just uploading your own version of the transcript, which will take precedence over the autogenerated one. ThompsonPaul has given a great explanation of a quick and easy way to do that also on this thread.
In terms of a channel trailer, once you log into your YouTube account, under the "Home" button, there should be a massive icon called "Channel Trailer" with a blue button, which will allow you to upload a trailer or choose one from your library.
-
You Tube video transcriptions can be edited by the channel's administrator, Dan. Essentially, you download the transcription file, correct it in a text editor, then re-upload it to replace the existing one.
-
On your My Uploaded Videos page, select the one you want to caption, and click Edit.
-
Click on** Captions and Subtitles** from the dropdown menu.
-
Under the Available Caption Tracks header, click the** Download **button beside English: Machine Transcription.
-
Download that file and edit it in a text editor to correct any errors. (You can change where the captions fall on the video by changing those time stamps, but be sure you keep the formatting)
-
When finished editing your transcript, save the file, maintaining the same file name.
-
Upload the corrected file back to YouTube by clicking Add New Captions or Transcripts under Add a Caption Track.
The joys of self-serve

YouTube Demographics
Hi Mozzers, Is it possible to do YouTube-specific keyword research? I have a client who sells wine making franchises and wants to produce a video for prospective franchisees. I doubt people are looking for this on YouTube and want some data to support my case so I can push the project in a more meaningful direction.

How Do I Know My Videos Are Indexed?
Hey Mozzers, Ive followed a few tutorials around the web and created a video sitemap and submitted it to GWT. The results were that 7 videos submitted and only 1 indexed. I cant view this information any deeply. However, if I go to videos.googlecom and conduct a site:domain.com, I can actually see that all 7 of my videos appear as results. If I then go back to universal search and search for the exact match title of the video along with site:domain.com, the page appear perfectly but without the Video thumbnail. Are my videos indexed? If yes, why are my thumbnails not showing? Thanks in advance.

What's the best method for posting the same video with different phone and address on YouTube?
For a franchise network, what's the best method for posting the same video that is tagged with different phone numbers and address per each location on YouTube? Will this get removed as duplicate content eventually? Or if I use the geo-tagging feature, will this help?

Are there any negative side affects to posting the same video to both YouTube & Vimeo
I had heard that Google frowns upon duplicate content so if I were to post the same videos to both YouTube, Vimeo and others, could that have some kind of negative impact, such as the video showing up lower in the SERPs?
