Caption Online Part 2

23 07 2006

I know several deaf bloggers have been doing some experiment with caption/subtitle lately.

I am proud to say that I was able to learn how to add “look real” caption on video.

A fellow name James Short (www.harkle.com) who have been patiently assisting me how to create “real” caption with black background. Almost like real one on TV.

You will see 33 seconds of my video (old video) with captioned in it. I did not do it well at first time but I did alright overall. If you guys want to learn how to make one like that, please feel free to give it a try!

It is not just new experience for me but I find it challenge to make "transcript" before you start adding into it.

Also, read my first post which leads James to jump and suggest me to give it a try at this link - make sure you get to read comment too. Thanks, James Short!

The real question is which procedure is easy and quick way to add caption/subtitle? If you think your method is better and faster than other, please share it with us :) 

Jared Evans provided his own "How to add subtitle to video" procedure on his blog site, check it out. Click here.

I learned about your blog from a video in YouTube. A few months ago I decided to closed-caption my video podcast and already have released and introduction and full-length feature with closed-captions in English (the program is narrated in Spanish). I invite you to subscribe to it and watch at http://www.tecnocato.com

It is about science, technology and innovation and a one-person production, which means I produce, direct, record, narrate, translate, edit, caption and publish the program. A lot of work but sincerely hope that you all enjoy it.
