Search FAQs

The video page displays a YouTube iframe beside the subtitle tracks Filmot has collected, with the player controls inside the iframe. Open it from a search result, a subtitle-language link, the Info link in Transverso, or /video/ followed by the video ID.

Depending on available data, you can:

• Follow the highlighted caption line during playback or click a line to play from that timestamp.
• Compare two subtitle languages side by side.
• Download the selected subtitles as an SRT file.
• Browse Similar videos, when suggestions are available.
• View historical community-subtitle credits using Show Contributors, when available.
• Report an inaccurate or unsuitable caption track with Report.
• Use Try Playing from Archive.org if an independently archived copy is available.

Yes. Open the video's side-by-side subtitles page, choose an available language and click Download SRT beside the language selector. Filmot produces an .srt file containing the collected caption lines with start and end times.

For multiple matching videos, subtitle and metadata search exports can include full subtitles as a selected column in CSV, Compact CSV, JSONL or ZIP, subject to export limits.

Downloaded subtitles remain subject to applicable copyright and other rights. Filmot does not grant permission to redistribute them.

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.

No. Filmot provides video metadata, subtitle text and links to YouTube, but does not download or distribute video or audio files.

Subtitle search can export links to matching moments. Open the export dialog, select the subtitle-timestamps export option and choose Export embed urls to create YouTube links with start and end times around each match. You can adjust the seconds included before and after the matching caption.

You can also export video IDs and other result columns in CSV, Compact CSV, JSONL or ZIP format. Any use or redistribution of the linked content remains subject to applicable rights and terms.
