• If you previously generated a transcript with Tubinator, it will be automatically selected as a base transcript for the captions
• If you have not yet generated a transcript with Tubinator, you can select an option to generate one first. Tubinator will first generate a transcript for the video and then proceed with generating chapters. Price to transcribe will display
• If your YouTube video already has manual captions uploaded, you can instruct Tubinator to use those captions
• You can also choose to use YouTube's 'autogenerated' captions as a base for your chapters. Please note, these might not be of the best quality, but AI is pretty smart and usually handles it well.

Then you need to (optionally) instruct Tubinator how to write the chapters. Default prompt is 'Generate chapters for my YouTube video. Each chapter should be 1-5 words.', but you can modify it to include requirements on number of chapters, their length, what to talk about and what not to talk about. Once you're done, press 'Generate'. It should take less than a minute. Chapters will display in real time.
