WebVTT
Introduction to WebVTT
WebVTT is a format for displaying timed text tracks (e.g. subtitles or captions) with the <track>
element. The primary purpose of WebVTT files is to add text overlays to a <video>
. WebVTT is a text based format, which must be encoded in UTF-8 format. Where you can use spaces you can also use tabs.
The MIME type of WebVTT is text/vtt
.
A WebVTT file (.vtt
) contains cues, which can be either a single line or multiple lines, As shown below:
WEBVTT 00:01.000 --> 00:04.000 Never drink liquid nitrogen. 00:05.000 --> 00:09.000 - It will perforate your stomach. - You could die.
WebVTT Body
The structure of a WebVTT file requires two things and has four optional components.
- An optional byte order mark (BOM)
- The string
WEBVTT
- An optional text header to the right of
WEBVTT
.- There must be at least one space after
WEBVTT
- You could use this to add a description to the file
- You may use anything in the text header, except newlines or the string "
-->"
- There must be at least one space after
- A blank line, which is equivalent to two consecutive newlines.
- Zero or more cues or comments.
- Zero or more blank lines
Example 1 - Simplest possible WEBVTT file
WEBVTT
Example 2 - Very simple WebVTT file with a text header
WEBVTT - This file has no cues.
Example 3 - Common WebVTT example with a header and cues
WEBVTT - This file has cues. 14 00:01:14.815 --> 00:01:18.114 - What? - Where are we now? 15 00:01:18.171 --> 00:01:20.991 - This is big bat country. 16 00:01:21.058 --> 00:01:23.868 - [ Bats Screeching ] - They won't get in your hair. They're after the bugs.
Inner Structure of a WebVTT file
Let's re-examine one of our previous examples, and look at the cue structure in a bit more detail.
WEBVTT 00:01.000 --> 00:04.000 - Never drink liquid nitrogen. 00:05.000 --> 00:09.000 - It will perforate your stomach. - You could die. NOTE This is the last line in the file
In the case of each cue:
- The first line is started with a time, which is the starting time for showing the text that appears underneath
- On the same line, we then have a string of
-->
- We finish the first line with a second time, which is the ending time for showing the associated text.
- We can then have one or more lines that startwith a hyphen (-), each containing part of the text track to be shown.
We can also place comments in our .vtt
file, to help us remember important information about the parts of our file. These should be on separate lines, starting with the string NOTE
. You'll find more about these in the below section.
WebVTT Comments
Comments are an optional component that can be used to add information to a WebVTT file. Comments are intended for those reading the file and are not seen by users. Comments may contain newlines but cannot contain a blank line, which is equivalent to two consecutive newlines. A blank line signifies the end of a comment.
A comment cannot contain the string "-->",
the ampersand character (&), or the less-than sign (<). If you wish to use such characters, you need to escape them using for example &
for ampersand and <
for less-than. It is also recommended that you use the greater-than escape sequence (>
) instead of the greater-than character (>
) to avoid confusion with tags.
A comment consists of three parts:
- The string
NOTE
- A space or a newline
- Zero or more characters other than those noted above
Example 4 - Common WebVTT example
NOTE This is a comment
Example 5 - Multi-line comment
NOTE
Another comment that is spanning
more than one line.
NOTE You can also make a comment
across more than one line this way.
Example 6 - Common comment usage
WEBVTT - Translation of that film I like NOTE This translation was done by Kyle so that some friends can watch it with their parents. 1 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.000 - Ta en kopp varmt te. - Det är inte varmt. 2 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:25.000 - Har en kopp te. - Det smakar som te. NOTE This last line may not translate well. 3 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:30.000 -Ta en kopp
Usage
We can use CSS to format our text cues — below you can see an example:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>Styling WebVTT cues</title> <style> video::cue { background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, dimgray, lightgray); color: papayawhip; } video::cue(b) { color: peachpuff; } </style> </head> <body> <video controls autoplay src="video.webm"> <track default src="track.vtt"> </video> </body> </html>
You can also define the style directly in the WebVTT file — in this case you insert your CSS rules each preceded by a STYLE
string on a separate blank line, as shown below:
WEBVTT STYLE ::cue { background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, dimgray, lightgray); color: papayawhip; } /* Style blocks cannot use blank lines nor "dash dash greater than" */ NOTE comment blocks can be used between style blocks. STYLE ::cue(b) { color: peachpuff; } 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000 - Hello <b>world</b>. NOTE style blocks cannot appear after the first cue.
We can also use identifiers inside WebVTT file, which can be used for defining a new style for some particular cues in the file. The example where we wanted the transcription text to be red highlighted and the other part to remain normal, we can define it as follows using CSS. Where it must be noted that the CSS uses escape sequences the way they are used in HTML pages:
WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:02.000 That’s an, an, that’s an L! crédit de transcription 00:04.000 --> 00:05.000 Transcrit par Célestes™ ::cue(#\31) { color: lime; } ::cue(#crédit\ de\ transcription) { color: red; }
Positioning of text tracks is also supported, by including positioning information after the timings in a cue, as seen below (see Cue settings for more information):
WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.000 position:10%,line-left align:left size:35% Where did he go? 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.500 position:90% align:right size:35% I think he went down this lane. 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.500 position:45%,line-right align:center size:35% What are you waiting for?
WebVTT Cues
A cue is a single subtitle block that has a single start time, end time, and textual payload. Example 6 consists of the header, a blank line, and then five cues separated by blank lines. A cue consists of five components:
- An optional cue identifier followed by a newline
- Cue timings
- Optional cue settings with at least one space before the first and between each setting
- One or more newlines
- The cue payload text
Example 7 - Example of a cue
1 - Title Crawl 00:00:5.000 --> 00:00:10.000 line:0 position:20% size:60% align:start Some time ago in a place rather distant....
Cue Identifier
The identifier is a name that identifies the cue. It can be used to reference the cue from a script. It must not contain a newline and cannot contain the string "-->"
. It must end with a single newline. They do not have to be unique, although it is common to number them (e.g. 1, 2, 3, ...).
Example 8 - Cue identifier from Example 7
1 - Title Crawl
Example 9 - Common usage of identifiers
WEBVTT 1 00:00:22.230 --> 00:00:24.606 This is the first subtitle. 2 00:00:30.739 --> 00:00:34.074 This is the second. 3 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.743 Third
Cue Timings
A cue timing indicates when the cue is shown. It has a start and end time which are represented by timestamps. The end time must be greater than the start time, and the start time must be greater than or equal to all previous start times. Cues may have overlapping timings.
If the WebVTT file is being used for chapters (<track>
kind
is chapters
) then the file cannot have overlapping timings.
Each cue timing contains five components:
- Timestamp for start time
- At least one space
- The string "
-->"
- At least one space
- Timestamp for end time
- Which must be greater than the start time
The timestamps must be in one of two formats:
mm:ss.ttt
hh:mm:ss.ttt
Where the components are defined as follows:
hh
is hours- Must be at least two digits
- Hours can be greater than two digits (e.g. 9999:00:00.000)
mm
is minutes- Must be between 00 and 59 inclusive
ss
is senconds- Must be between 00 and 59 inclusive
ttt
is miliseconds- Must be between 000 and 999 inclusive
Example 10 - Basic cue timing examples
00:22.230 --> 00:24.606 00:30.739 --> 00:00:34.074 00:00:34.159 --> 00:35.743 00:00:35.827 --> 00:00:40.122
Example 11 - Overlapping cue timing examples
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000 00:00:05.000 --> 00:01:00.000 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:50.000
Example 12 - Non-overlapping cue timing examples
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000 00:00:10.000 --> 00:01:00.581 00:01:00.581 --> 00:02:00.100 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:01.000
Cue Settings
Cue settings are optional components used to position where the cue payload text will be displayed over the video. This includes whether the text is displayed horizontally or vertically. There can be zero or more of them, and they can be used in any order so long as each setting is used no more than once.
The cue settings are added to the right of the cue timings. There must be one or more spaces between the cue timing and the first setting and between each setting. A setting's name and value are separated by a colon. The settings are case sensitive so use lower case as shown. There are five cue settings:
- vertical
- Indicates that the text will be displayed vertically rather than horizontally, such as in some Asian languages.
Table 1 - vertical values vertical:rl
writing direction is right to left vertical:lr
writing direction is left to right - line
- Specifies where text appears vertically. If vertical is set, line specifies where text appears horizontally.
- Value can be a line number
- The line height is the height of the first line of the cue as it appears on the video
- Positive numbers indicate top down
- Negative numbers indicate bottom up
- Or value can be a percentage
- Must be an integer (i.e. no decimals) between 0 and 100 inclusive
- Must be followed by a percent sign (%)

Cue Payload
The payload is where the main information or content is located. In normal usage the payload contains the subtitles to be displayed. The payload text may contain newlines but it cannot contain a blank line, which is equivalent to two consecutive newlines. A blank line signifies the end of a cue.
A cue text payload cannot contain the string "-->"
, the ampersand character (&), or the less-than sign (<). Instead use the escape sequence "&" for ampersand and "<" for less-than. It is also recommended that you use the greater-than escape sequence ">" instead of the greater-than character (>) to avoid confusion with tags. If you are using the WebVTT file for metadata these restrictions do not apply.
In addition to the three escape sequences mentioned above, there are fours others. They are listed in the table below.
Table 6 - Escape sequences | ||
---|---|---|
Name | Character | Escape Sequence |
Ampersand | & | & |
Less-than | < | < |
Greater-than | > | > |
Left-to-right mark | ‎ |
|
Right-to-left mark | ‏ |
|
Non-breaking space | |
|
Cue Payload Text Tags
There are a number of tags, such as <bold>
, that can be used. However, if the WebVTT file is used in a <track>
element where the attribute kind
is chapters
then you cannot use tags.
- Timestamp tag
- The timestamp must be greater that the cue's start timestamp, greater than any previous timestamp in the cue payload, and less than the cue's end timestamp. The active text is the text between the timestamp and the next timestamp or to the end of the payload if there is not another timestamp in the payload. Any text before the active text in the payload is previous text . Any text beyond the active text is future text . This enables karaoke style captions.
Example 12 - Karaoke style text
JavaScriptCopy Code1 00:16.500 --> 00:18.500 When the moon <00:17.500>hits your eye 1 00:00:18.500 --> 00:00:20.500 Like a <00:19.000>big-a <00:19.500>pizza <00:20.000>pie 1 00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:21.500 That's <00:00:21.000>amore
The following tags are the HTML tags allowed in a cue and require opening and closing tags (e.g. <b>text</b>
).
- Class tag (
<c></c>
)- Style the contained text using a CSS class.
Example 14 - Class tag
HTMLCopy Code<c.classname>text</c>
- Italics tag (
<i></i>
)- Italicize the contained text.
Example 15 - Italics tag
HTMLCopy Code<i>text</i>
- Bold tag (
<b></b>
)- Bold the contained text.
Example 16 - Bold tag
HTMLCopy Code<b>text</b>
- Underline tag (
<u></u>
)- Underline the contained text.
Example 17 - Underline tag
HTMLCopy Code<u>text</u>
- Ruby tag (
<ruby></ruby>
)- Used with ruby text tags to display ruby characters (i.e. small annotative characters above other characters).
Example 18 - Ruby tag
HTMLCopy Code<ruby>WWW<rt>World Wide Web</rt>oui<rt>yes</rt></ruby>
- Ruby text tag (
<rt></rt>
)- Used with ruby tags to display ruby characters (i.e. small annotative characters above other characters).
Example 19 - Ruby text tag
HTMLCopy Code<ruby>WWW<rt>World Wide Web</rt>oui<rt>yes</rt></ruby>
- Voice tag (
<v></v>
)- Similar to class tag, also used to style the contained text using CSS.
Example 20 - Voice tag
HTMLCopy Code<v Bob>text</v>
Interfaces
There are two interfaces or APIs used in WebVTT which are:
VTTCue interface
It is used for providing an interface in Document Object Model API, where different attributes supported by it can be used to prepare and alter the cues in number of ways.
Constructor is the first point for starting the Cue which is defined using the default constructor VTTCue(startTime, endTime, text) where starting time, ending time and text for cue can be adjusted. After that we can set the region for that particular cue to which this cue belongs using cue.region. Vertical, horizontal, line, lineAlign, Position, positionAlign, text, size and Align can be used to alter the cue and its formation, just like we can alter the objects form, shape and visibility in HTML using CSS. But the VTTCue interface is within the WebVTT provides the vast range of adjustment variables which can be used directly to alter the Cue. Following interface can be used to expose WebVTT cues in DOM API:
enum <dfn>AutoKeyword</dfn> { <dfn>"auto"</dfn> }; enum <dfn>DirectionSetting</dfn> { <dfn>""</dfn> /* horizontal */, <dfn>"rl"</dfn>, <dfn>"lr"</dfn> }; enum <dfn>LineAlignSetting</dfn> { <dfn>"start"</dfn>, <dfn>"center"</dfn>, <dfn>"end"</dfn> }; enum <dfn>PositionAlignSetting</dfn> { <dfn>"line-left"</dfn>, <dfn>"center"</dfn>, <dfn>"line-right"</dfn>, <dfn>"auto"</dfn> }; enum <dfn>AlignSetting</dfn> { <dfn>"start"</dfn>, <dfn>"center"</dfn>, <dfn>"end"</dfn>, <dfn>"left"</dfn>, <dfn>"right"</dfn> }; [<a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-vttcue" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-vttcue-1">Constructor</a>(double <dfn>startTime</dfn>, double <dfn>endTime</dfn>, DOMString <dfn>text</dfn>)] interface <dfn>VTTCue</dfn> : <a class="external" href="https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html#texttrackcue">TextTrackCue</a> { attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-vttregion-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#vttregion">VTTRegion</a>? <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-region" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-region-1">region</a>; attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-directionsetting-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-directionsetting">DirectionSetting</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-vertical" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-vertical-1">vertical</a>; attribute boolean <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-snaptolines" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-snaptolines-2">snapToLines</a>; attribute (double or <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-autokeyword-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-autokeyword">AutoKeyword</a>) <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-line" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-line-2">line</a>; attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-linealignsetting-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-linealignsetting">LineAlignSetting</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-linealign" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-linealign-1">lineAlign</a>; attribute (double or <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-autokeyword-2" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-autokeyword">AutoKeyword</a>) <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-position" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-position-1">position</a>; attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-positionalignsetting-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-positionalignsetting">PositionAlignSetting</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-positionalign" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-positionalign-1">positionAlign</a>; attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-size" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-size-1">size</a>; attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-alignsetting-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-alignsetting">AlignSetting</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-align" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-align-1">align</a>; attribute DOMString <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-text" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-text-1">text</a>; <a class="external" href="https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#documentfragment">DocumentFragment</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttcue-getcueashtml" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttcue-getcueashtml-2">getCueAsHTML</a>(); };
VTT Region interface
This is the second interface in WebVTT API.
The new keyword can be used for defining a new VTTRegion object which can then be used for containing the multiple cues. There are several properties of VTTRegion which are width, lines, regionAnchorX, RegionAnchorY, viewportAnchorX, viewportAnchorY and scroll that can be used to specify the look and feel of this VTT region. The interface code is given below which can be used to expose the WebVTT regions in DOM API:
enum <dfn>ScrollSetting</dfn> { <dfn>""</dfn> /* none */, <dfn>"up"</dfn> }; [<a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-vttregion" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-vttregion-1">Constructor</a>] interface <dfn>VTTRegion</dfn> { attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-width" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-width-1">width</a>; attribute long <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-lines" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-lines-1">lines</a>; attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-regionanchorx" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-regionanchorx-1">regionAnchorX</a>; attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-regionanchory" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-regionanchory-1">regionAnchorY</a>; attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-viewportanchorx" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-viewportanchorx-1">viewportAnchorX</a>; attribute double <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-viewportanchory" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-viewportanchory-1">viewportAnchorY</a>; attribute <a class="external" id="ref-for-enumdef-scrollsetting-1" href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#enumdef-scrollsetting">ScrollSetting</a> <a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#dom-vttregion-scroll" class="idl-code external" id="ref-for-dom-vttregion-scroll-1">scroll</a>; };
Methods and properties
The methods used in WebVTT are those which are used to alter the cue or region as the attributes for both interfaces are different. We can categorize them for better understanding relating to each interface in WebVTT:
-
VTTCue
- The methods which are available in this interface are:
- GetCueAsHTML to get the HTML of that Cue.
- VTT Constructor for creating new objects of Cues
- Autokeyword
- DirectionSetting: to set the direction of caption or text in a file
- LineAlignment: to adjust the line alignment
- PositionAlignSetting: to adjust the position of text
- The methods which are available in this interface are:
-
VTTRegion
- The methods used for region are listed below along with description of their functionality:
- ScrollSetting: For adjusting the scrolling setting of all nodes present in given region
- VTT Region Constructor: for construction of new VTT Regions
- The methods used for region are listed below along with description of their functionality:
Tutorial on how to write a WebVTT file
There are few steps that can be followed to write a simple webVTT file. Before start, it must be noted that you can make use of a notepad and then save the file as ‘.vtt’ file. Steps are given below:
- Open a notepad.
- The first line of WebVTT is standardized similar in the way some other languages require you to put headers as the file starts to indicate the file type. One the very first line you have to write
‘WEBVTT’.
3. Leave the second line blank, one third line the time for first cue can is to be specified. For example, for a first que starting at time 1 second and ending at 5 second, it is written as:
‘00: 01.000 00: 05.000’
- On the next line you can write the caption for this cue which will run from 1 sec to 5th sec.
- Following the similar steps, a complete WebVTT file for specific video or audio file can be made.
CSS Pseudo-classes
CSS pseudo classes allow us to classify the type of object which we want to differentiate from other types of objects. It works in similar manner in WebVTT files as it works in HTML file.
It is one of the good features supported by WebVTT is the localization and use of class elements which can be used in same way they are used in HTML and CSS to classify the style for particular type of objects, but here these are used for styling and classifying the Cues as shown below:
WEBVTT 04:02.500 --> 04:05.000 J’ai commencé le basket à l'âge de 13, 14 ans 04:05.001 --> 04:07.800 Sur les <i.foreignphrase><lang en>playground</lang></i>, ici à Montpellier
In the above example it can be observed that we can use the identifier and pseudo class name for defining the language of caption, where <i> tag is for italics.
The type of pseudo class is determined by the selector it is using and working is similar in nature as it works in HTML. Following CSS pseudo classes can be used:
- Lang (Lanugage): e.g. p:lang(it)
- Link: e.g. a:link
- Nth-last-child: e.g. p:nth-last-child(2)
- Nth-child(n): e.g. p:nth-child(2)
Where p and a are the tags which are used in HTML for paragraph and link, respectively and they can be replaced by identifiers which are used for Cues in WebVTT file.
