How to use the open source Kdenlive video editing program to create subtitles for upload to YouTube.

Process:

1: Creating subtitles within Kdenlive.
2: Exporting created subtitles with timestamps as .srt subtitle files.
3: Importing subtitles to YouTube and creating timestamped captions.

Don't forget - you can use Kdenlive to generate the subtitles without rendering your generated subtitles onto the video layer. To suppress that functionality, simply hide the subtitle layer you have created before rendering. 

Timestamps:

Intro: 00:00
Creating subtitles in Kdenlive: 01:00
Exporting subtitle file from Kdenlive: 02:17
Inspecting contents of subtitle file with timestamp exported from Kdenlive - 03:16
Adding Kdenlive generated subtitle file into YouTube - 04:11
Testing the caption overlay on demonstration video - 05:11
