The goal of this project was to develop a workflow for captioning videos. I worked on this project in December 2014. Some of the links to items shown below might not work because technology changes.

Ch11 Video. This lecture video took me 21 minutes to review and edit, and then 17 minutes to make an open-caption mp4 file using Camtasia PC.

This is an example of a video that I did not produce, but had Rev create the SRT file, and then I produced an open-caption mp4 file using Camtasia PC.
