Transcript of Class2.avi.

The following is the transcribed text for the movie linked above. 

Hi, this is Ray Kimball and Kim Emery back again to show you how to add captions to a movie.  We’re going to use Microsoft’s Movie Maker. We made and taped a DVD. We then tried to import it as an MPEG file, and it didn’t work in Windows Media. So we then went back and used Adobe Premier and made it into a dot-.avi file. And now we should be able to import it and add some text, add some captioning within Movie Maker.  So, Kim, “take it away!”

Kim Emery:  OK! 

1. (Open Windows Movie Maker:  Start > Programs > Windows Movie Maker
2. (Import)  The first step we will take is to import the video, so I want to select a video called Class1.avi, and import it. It (MS Movie Maker) is going to import all the files to “My Collections”  as you see here. 
3. (Drag to Movie Maker Time Line).  I’ll then need to drag this video file down to the timeline in Movie Maker, where it says “Video.”  And the video appears and it says it’s a little bit over one minute. 
4. Adding Captions.  The next step is to add some captions.  So if I wanted to add a sub-title, I would go to “Tools,” and then “Titles and Credits.” 
5. Add Sub-Title On Selection Clip.  I want to add a sub-title on top of the selection clip, so I click on “On Selection Clip.”  And I’ll add  the text that I want for my first sub-title.   (Typing “This is the text for the Subtitle; hit “enter.” Subtitle appears on the screen.)
6. Change Title Animation.  And then I need to go down to “More Options” and change the title animation to “Subtitle.”  So, I’ll select “Subtitle.”
7. Done.  And hit “Done,” and it adds the title to the movie.  So you’ll see in “Side Preview,” here, it adds the subtitle here, and the subtitle shows here on the Title Overlay section of the timeline.  And that subtitle will appear for just a fraction of a second, as it is right now. (Points to subtitle clip.) 
8. Expand Title Length to Synchronize with the Sound.  But if I want to expand the length of that title, I’ll hit my, put my mouse there so it shows the red arrow, and I’ll expand the length of it.  And then I can preview the movie here on the side screen.  (Movie in software:  “Hi, I’m Ray Kimball and Kim Emery and we’re going to show you how to add…”

Kim:  “And that’s it!”

Ray Kimball:  OK, now you can see that you need to do a little bit of planning before this by actually transcribing what you have on the screen so you know what to type in. And we’ll go over in class and show you how to do this. And perhaps we’ll even give you a little movie to play with, so anyway, Kim works with CTL on the ground floor of Humanities.”
