Closed Captioning at YouTube! Offer for 9/11 Debunking Videos

[boloboffin]

I'm excited to announce the discovery of YouTube's addition of closed captioning capabilities for their website. I am a live voice writer in my working hours, and accessibility is always a very, very good thing!

I've been busy this weekend adding CC files to my little videos, and you can see the way it looks below with my Silverstein video. I do believe you have to click CC on in your own preferences, but you should be able to do that in the window below:

I was torn about this one, because Nigro has said that he didn't talk to Silverstein. The video is wrong about that, but the captions are just about what the video does say. I've included the correction in my notes on the video homepage.

Anyway, the point. Anyone making 9/11 debunking videos, I would be happy to do the same for yours, gratis. They would look just the same. I might do minor editing of text to get them to fit, but that would be minimal. If you're interested, please PM me and I'll give you my email. All I need is a audio file of your original. I'll email back the .sub file and you can upload it to your video. Simple, simple.

Also, if you want music credited, name the songs and the credit will pop up a la the [bouncy music] line.

I'm not able to get any captions to show up, but I think I know what you're talking about (where the white box shows up with text written in it?). I'd thought about doing this for some of my videos, to update them with some newer facts that have come out since I posted the video, but it would just be too distracting. There's only so much someone can read and/or listen to at one time.

So many people - me, you, and dozens of others - have made logical videos debunking the Larry Silverstein "pull it" beyond any reasonable doubt to any rational person. Anyone who still believes in the theory is beyond help, no matter how many times this theory is debunked, so it'd be a waste of time adding additional info to our videos anyway. Rational people get it. Those who don't get it, never will.

Unless you're a rational person who's deaf. That's the point of closed captioning. It's not for new info, but to make the info that's there accessible to people who can't hear. They have computers, eyes, and minds, too. ;)

Your videos, however, don't use a narrator, do they? The only speech is what might show up in video clips you use. So CC would be superfluous for that, unless what what someone is saying (like the Dan Rather clip) is part of the point.
