Get a YouTube transcript with timestamps

Every caption line with its start time and duration, which is what you need to jump back to a moment in the video, cut clips, or line a transcript up with the player. The example uses a long tutorial, where timestamps matter most. The example video is "Learn Python - Full Course for Beginners [Tutorial]" by freeCodeCamp.org.
