Description
Everyone agrees that it’s important to caption videos for accessibility, but many are overwhelmed by the idea of developing a comprehensive captioning process. This workshop doesn’t try to solve that problem! Instead, we’ll take one simple step and demonstrate how you can create high quality captions for your own YouTube videos. We’ll cover creating the transcript, how to break the text up into appropriate “chunks”, then uploading and synchronizing the transcript with the video. We will also share resources for other captioning scenarios, such as captioning someone else’s video or videos not on YouTube.
