Video translation

aim

This page is intended to streamline the process of subtitling, translating and later dubbing videos. It's based on the work done at http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/2010/10/global-village-construction-set-gvcs-in-2-minutes/ and http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Global_Village_Construction_Set_2_Minute_Explainer_Video

The second experience, call it prototype 2 of our subtitle-translation-dub work, is the current http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/2010/11/construction-time post, which has this video: http://vimeo.com/16547692

first attempt

I've tried http://universalsubtitles.org and managed to add text (see below). But I can't syncronise it using my ubuntu+firefox+vimeo configuration, cos my keyboard won't make things happen as expected. What I've got so far is at http://universalsubtitles.org/videos/0EOie2jKTGv0/ And here's my incomplete transcription:

second attempt

I've downloaded the video from vimeo, then uploaded it to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATdiBReVYd0 added the subtitles I already had http://universalsubtitles.org/videos/psnl29FbPHF5/ and finaly got it synchronised.

other ways

we could use youtube's automagic transcription tool, see if that helps my foreign ear!

• the soil pulveriser
• begin to grind
• we take the soil pulveriser

• the main step of soil handling has now been solved
• and here is a brick!
• our plan now is to build a work structure that will look like this
• the housing units that will look like this
• this is compressed earth brick modular construction
• we're starting with concrete pad? with three feet of gravel underneath
• we put on the pad
• we can then lay bricks on that
• we've got to make sure we're going vertically up so we have a ?form
• to make sure we're going straight up, then at the end we'll ?
