description: "Time-coded caption/subtitle content for video.\n\n**DEFINITION**:\n\nVideoSubtitle represents caption/subtitle tracks that provide time-coded\ntext synchronized with video playback. It extends VideoTranscript because\nsubtitles contain complete transcription PLUS temporal synchronization.\n\n**INHERITANCE FROM VideoTranscript**:\n\nVideoSubtitle inherits all transcript capabilities:\n- `full_text`: Complete subtitle text concatenated\n- `segments`: Time-coded entries (REQUIRED for subtitles)\n- `includes_timestamps`: Always true for subtitles\n- `content_language`: Language of subtitle text\n- All provenance from VideoTextContent\n\nAnd adds subtitle-specific properties:\n- `has_or_had_format`: SRT, VTT, TTML, SBV, ASS\n- `is_closed_caption`: CC vs regular subtitles\n- `is_sdh`: Subtitles for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing\n- `includes_sound_descriptions`: Non-speech audio descriptions\n\n**SCHEMA.ORG ALIGNMENT**:\n\nMaps to `schema:caption` property:\n> \"For downloadable machine\
\ formats (closed caption, subtitles etc.)\n> use the MediaObject.encodingFormat property.\"\n\n**SUBTITLE vs CAPTION vs TRANSCRIPT**:\n\n| Type | Time-coded | Purpose | Audience |\n|------|------------|---------|----------|\n| Transcript | Optional | Reading, search | Everyone |\n| Subtitle | Required | Language translation | Hearing viewers |\n| Caption (CC) | Required | Accessibility | Deaf/HoH viewers |\n| SDH | Required | Full accessibility | Deaf viewers, noisy environments |\n\n**SDH (Subtitles for Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing)**:\n\nSDH differs from regular subtitles by including:\n- Speaker identification: \"(John) Hello\"\n- Sound effects: \"[door slams]\", \"[music playing]\"\n- Music descriptions: \"\u266A upbeat jazz \u266A\"\n- Emotional cues: \"[laughing]\", \"[whispering]\"\n\n**SUBTITLE FORMATS**:\n\n| Format | Extension | Features | Use Case |\n|--------|-----------|----------|----------|\n| SRT | .srt | Simple, universal | Most video players |\n| VTT | .vtt | W3C standard,\
\ styling | HTML5 video, web |\n| TTML | .ttml/.dfxp | XML, rich styling | Broadcast, streaming |\n| SBV | .sbv | YouTube native | YouTube uploads |\n| ASS | .ass | Advanced styling | Anime, complex layouts |\n\n**SRT FORMAT EXAMPLE**:\n\n```\n1\n00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,500\nWelcome to the Rijksmuseum.\n\n2\n00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:08,200\nToday we'll explore the Night Watch gallery.\n```\n\n**VTT FORMAT EXAMPLE**:\n\n```\nWEBVTT\n\n00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.500\nWelcome to the Rijksmuseum.\n\n00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:08.200\nToday we'll explore the Night Watch gallery.\n```\n\n**HERITAGE INSTITUTION CONTEXT**:\n\nSubtitles are critical for heritage video accessibility:\n\n1. **Accessibility Compliance**: WCAG 2.1, Section 508\n2. **Multilingual Access**: Translate for international audiences\n3. **Silent Viewing**: Social media, public displays, quiet spaces\n4. **Search Discovery**: Subtitle text is indexed by platforms\n5. **Preservation**: Text outlasts video format obsolescence\n\
\n**YOUTUBE API INTEGRATION**:\n\nSubtitle tracks from YouTube API populate:\n- `has_or_had_format`: Typically VTT or SRT\n- `generation_method`: PLATFORM_PROVIDED or ASR_AUTOMATIC\n- `content_language`: From track language code\n- `is_or_was_created_through`: YouTube auto-caption flag\n\n**SEGMENTS ARE REQUIRED**:\n\nUnlike VideoTranscript where segments are optional, VideoSubtitle\nREQUIRES the `segments` slot to be populated with VideoTimeSegment\nentries that include start_seconds, end_seconds, and segment_text.\n"

comments:
- Time-coded caption/subtitle content
- Extends VideoTranscript - subtitles ARE transcripts plus time codes
- 'Supports multiple formats: SRT, VTT, TTML, SBV, ASS'
- 'Accessibility metadata: CC, SDH, sound/music descriptions'
- Critical for heritage video accessibility compliance
