Video Captioning For Accessibility

Caption QuickTime Videos With VideoSync

VideoSync may be used as a method of synchronizing an existing digital video with its transcript and generating a QuickTime Text Track for export to the clipboard. This QT Text Track may then subsequently be merged with the digital video using QuickTime Pro. If your transcript has not already been created, you may use VideoSync to create the transcript.

Users may import a digital video in a quicktime format from either the web or from their local computer, and they may paste their existing transcript into a 'Transcript' text box. Then they simply follow the step-by-step instructions provided on the screen to create captions and a QT text track.

VideoSync may also be used to create a text transcript. Simply import and play the digital video and type into the 'Transcript' text box as the video plays. Once the transcript has been created, you'll simply use the step-by-step instructions provided on the screen to create your captions and QT text track.

If you do not have your own digital video and transcript to try with VideoSync, we have provided a video and transcript sample for you to use. These are loaded automatically when you run VideoSync.

Once your QT text track is complete, you may copy the text into the clipboard, paste it into your preferred word processor, and save it as a text format file (.txt extension) to merge with your digital video using QuickTime Pro's Player. Details for this final step are available on Apple's web site.

VideoSync was created using Macromedia Director, and it is delivered through a web browser using the Shockwave plugin. If you do not already have it, you may download the Shockwave plugin here.
