Why won't YouTube recognize my exported SCC transcript?
We suspect that YouTube wants every caption to include positioning information, and InqScribe does not provide that information automatically. For example, YouTube will complain about a transcript like this, exported to SCC.
[00:00:00.00] Start
[00:00:06.16] Takeoff
[00:00:13.21] Catch!
[00:00:19.11] Landing
However, the following transcript, where we wrap every caption with explicit SCC captioning tags, will work.
[00:00:00.00] {ENM}{ENM}{RCL}{RCL} Start {EDM}{EDM}{EOC}{EOC}
[00:00:06.16] {ENM}{ENM}{RCL}{RCL} Takeoff {EDM}{EDM}{EOC}{EOC}
[00:00:13.21] {ENM}{ENM}{RCL}{RCL} Catch! {EDM}{EDM}{EOC}{EOC}
[00:00:19.11] {ENM}{ENM}{RCL}{RCL} Landing {EDM}{EDM}{EOC}{EOC}
Obviously it would help if InqScribe could handle those codes for you in the background, but at this point it can't. We're working on that.

For now, the easy workaround is to save your transcript in the SubRip .srt file format, which is perfectly YouTube compatible. SubRip files do not contain any positioning information, so YouTube will just lay them out as best it can (centered, near bottom). You can find detailed instructions on how to import SubRip .srt files into YouTube in this Knowledge Base article.
