Troubleshooting
The VTT file needs manual cleanup
Use the generated transcript as a draft, then format cue identifiers and timing in a caption editor.
The web player rejects the captions
Check the final WebVTT syntax, timestamp format, and encoding before upload.
The video audio is too quiet
Normalize or export a clearer audio track before transcribing.
