  • Overstream.net is another online captioning tool
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Overstream does not work anymore.
  • A question that often comes up is how to “replace” the original YouTube video (without cc) with the newly cc’d version one creates with Universal Subtitles
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      1. It's not a matter of "replacing" the original video, but of adding the CC captions to it. 2. It does not only work with YouTube videos, but with videos hosted on any platform that supports CC (Internet Archive e.g.) 3. This does not only work with CC captions created on Universal Subtitles - well, Amara now - but with any CC captions
  • Universal
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      See above: this works with any CC captions, no matter what application you create them with.

  • you can NOT download a fully captioned video at this time
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      But you can download the video separately, and then play both the video and the captions on your computer with a desktop application.
  • You may have garbage content to remove near the beginning or end of the file if there is extra content in your transcript file, music, or other notations
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      No: the garbage content is produced by saving the Word file as .doc or as .rtf. Save as UTF-8 encoded plain text, with the original .sbv extension if Word lets you. Otherwise, with the .txt extension, and change the extension from .txt to .sbv afterwards.
  • Make changes to the .sbv file by opening in Word
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Editing an .sbv file in Word is tricky: you might accidently delete some time codes. Much easier NOT to make the video private, and create a captioning page from it in an online app like Amara or DotSUB, add the caption file there and edit it there. Then download the edited captions and add them to YT. If you mind having the rough YT-produced captions showing, just write in the decription that they are still in progress.
  • Save as the same file type.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Actually: save with the same file extension - .sbv in your example - but be careful to save as UTF-8 encoded simple text file
  • on the native Word file
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      See above: it's quicker and easier if you use an online captioning platform. And you don't have to delete the automaticly synchronized captions until you're ready to upload the edited version.
  • Upload the new .sbv file “with timing” from the selection option. This is very quick. Click the video and see how it looks. Download the .sbv file again and repeat steps 8 through 12 until you are happy with the video.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      Again, if you create a page from the YT video on a captioning platform, it's much simpler, as you can do the whole adjusting there without having to download and reupload each time you edit the captions.
  • We received this comment from Claude A: “These instructions concern adding a transcript to a YouTube video to have it timecoded into subtitles by the YouTube automatic synchronization feature.”
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 04 Nov 12
       
      This could be cut: what I meant was that the title for this section could be changed to "Use the YouTube automatic synchronization to make captions from a transcript".

    "On February 10, 2012, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) took the lead, and was joined by several other consumer groups, in submitting comments in support of a petition filed by Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc., Gallaudet University, and Participatory Culture Foundation requesting an exemption for certain classes of work from the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Two of these exemption requests relate to closed captioning - one for IP based media and the other for fixed-disc based media. These exemptions will allow third parties to add or improve closed captioning on video programs without having to get permission from the copyright owner. ...." (with link to the text of the exemption)
  • Claude Almansi on 04 Mar 12
     
    The linked-to text of the exemption request is remarkavly clear and could bevery useful model in similar cases in other countries.

    To add captions or subtitles to one of your videos, you'll need to have files with the captions/subtitles in them. (...) We currently support a simple subtitle format that is compatible with the formats known as SubViewer (*.SUB) and SubRip (*.SRT).

    "Draft only Showing Revision 0, created 06/08/2012 by Margherita Martignoni ." Amara software added this banner, disactivated the Edit subtitles link, but didn't add a task for these subs. Video added to Music Captioning team Margherita Martignoni is not a member of Music Captioning: she therefore cannot have caused the task that caused the banner etc. June 12, 2012: issues persist
  • Claude Almansi on 14 Jun 12
     
    June 14, 2012: issue persists, but then this link didn't get transfered to this Multimedia Accessibility group with the my other links tagged taskblocked, so these subs didn't undergo the manual fix that removed the Amara task blocks in the other subs. I am able to enter the widget version of the subs by main page via Start a new translation in the main page, then choosing Subtitle into Italian (100%) (normal link, not grayed) Directly from video (more work) I was able to change a few things, but though I saved the subs marking them as complete, the banner is still there. I.e. the "lying to the software" workaround indicated in http://support.universalsubtitles.org/categories/6573/forums/28027/topics/4905 only works to prevent the taskblocking, but cannot remove it.

    "Username fernandotakai Member since Feb. 29, 2012, 2:41 p.m. About User has not submitted a bio. Memberships arthur-test Music Captioning" fernandotakai is listed as admin of Music Captioning team, but his joining was not recorded in the Activity page of the team. According to what seems to be his LinkedIn profile http://www.linkedin.com/pub/fernando-takai/14/976/48 he is "Senior Software Engineer at Participatory Culture Foundation". This would explain how his joining MC was not recorded in the Activity page. And his joining seems likely to have something to do with Amara's attempt to solve the task blocking issue.

    "Showing Revision 3, created Yesterday by Avatar of Claude Almansi . " Yesterday = June 9, 2011 (?) "Avatar of Claude Almansi" is not a member of the Occupy Wall Street team. When viewing these subs signed in as this Avatar, only "Revision 0 - 02/07/2012 - by Claude Almansi" was showing, made 4 months before the Amara software started taskblocking videos. There was a "Roll back to this version" button, so I used it to see what would happen. The reversion removed the "Draft only Showing Revision 2, created 06/07/2012 by Claude Almansi . " banner of the former revision and reactivated the formerly disabled Edit Subtitles link. Of course, it also suppressed the subs that had been added in Revisions 1 and 2. All revisions can be viewed by admins (perhaps also managers members) of the team but they cannot roll back to any of them. The task added by the Amara software to these subtitles at the time of Revision 1 remains: "Transcribe English Subtitles Video: Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11) (08:23) Subtitles: latest draft transcribed by Avatar of Claude Almansi" Comment: In this case, I control both "Claude Almansi" and "Avatar of Claude Almansi" users, and I saved the Revision 2 subtitles as Claude Almansi (admin at Music Captioning) before reverting to Revision 0 with the avatar (not member of the team). But the same rolling back could be done on any taskblocked subs of the team by any Amara user who is not a member of it, thus making successive work unavailable
  • Claude Almansi on 14 Jun 12
     
    14/06/2012 The situation remains identical: as admin, I can't roll back to the version preceding the one in which, as a non member, I rolled back to version0
