How can I export subtitles or matching videos from a YouTube channel?
Exports And API Updated
Select a channel, run a search and use Export to download the matching results within your export limit.
- Channel metadata and available full subtitles: open Metadata search, select the channel and run the search. A title query is not required. Choose the columns you need in the export dialog and include full subtitles if available.
- Videos containing a spoken word or phrase: select the channel in subtitle search, enter your keywords and run the search. You can use operators such as
"exact phrase"and|for alternatives, then export the matching videos and, if needed, their captions or transcripts.
Available formats include CSV, Compact CSV, JSONL and ZIP. Without patron benefits, one export contains up to 60 subtitle-search rows or 100 metadata-search rows, without descriptions. With patron benefits, the limit is up to 10,000 rows, or 2,500 when full subtitles are included.
Exports cannot retrieve videos outside Filmot's index or captions it has not collected. Exported content remains subject to applicable rights and usage terms.
