To begin creating captions, I watch the video to gain a full understanding of its content. I pay attention to the dialogue, background music, and sound effects to understand the context and tone of the video.
After watching the video, I transcribe the dialog in a word processor. I listen carefully to the spoken words and type them accurately, paying attention to correct spelling and punctuation.
Once the transcription is complete, I go back through the text and add timecodes to indicate when each caption should appear on the screen. This ensures that the subtitles appear in sync with the video timeline.
Once the subtitles are complete, I review them to ensure that they are clear, concise, and accurately convey the intended message. I may need to make adjustments to the text to ensure it is easy to read and understand.
Next, I format the captions to make them visually appealing and easy to read. This may include adjusting the font size, color, and placement on the screen.
Once the subtitles are formatted, I proofread them to make sure there are no grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors. I will read the subtitles several times to ensure they are error-free and convey the intended message.
I will translate the subtitles into German for a German-speaking audience.
