What does the free YouTube Chapter Generator do?
Turn a timestamped transcript into a clean first pass of YouTube chapters. It runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
Does my transcript need timestamps?
Yes, if you want chapter times. The tool reads the timecodes in an SRT file, a WebVTT file, or a transcript whose lines start with a timecode. Without them you get chapter titles and a note explaining why there are no times, never invented ones.
Does the YouTube Chapter Generator use AI?
No. The YouTube Chapter Generator runs a fixed set of rules in your browser and your text is never sent anywhere. AutoEdit uses Claude inside the Premiere Pro plugin, where it reads the transcript and builds the rough cut.
