I've been running a YouTube channel for a few years now: Malada Media Labs, which is mostly me rescuing and reviving old computers. With my cellphone camera for video, and using open source software for video editing (KDENLive), Audio (Audacity), graphics (GIMP) and creating my own music using LMMS, I'm not prolific but I do enjoy myself.
I just found out that YouTube has an option to add closed captions to your video. Cool. However, since I really dislike having to be online while editing video, I discovered an open source caption creator. Now it takes even longer to create my video because after the filming, writing, graphics, music creation and voice over, I have to correctly copy what I've said into a text file to insert into the captioning software.
Yeah. More work.
I work in broadcasting and I've seen some *terrible* closed captions over the years so I'm working hard to have perfect captions.
After testing out the software with an older video, my latest video was uploaded with closed captions. It's a good feeling to put out a quality product even if it's unseen by most of the unwashed masses.
