Subtitling the animation
Posted by admin on April 11th, 2007
We have received a lot of interest about animation from other European countries, particularly the Google version which has subtitles attached. Obviously subtitling improves accessibility – but another benefit is quick and easy repurposing of the content in other languages.
To add subtitles no coding is required – just:
1.Upload a video to Google Video
2. Choose the “add caption” option
3. Paste in the subtitle text into the caption window - with time code markers (see picture).
It works best if you keep the amount of words between consecutive time codes short, and plan on 5 seconds or more for each subtitle.
An example of the animation with Italian subtitles.
