In this video I'm going to show how to add captions to a video that is not
captioned that is online. In this example the video is on the criticalcommons.org
website. To find the address for the actual video file, in
Firefox click and drag the text that's around the video and then right-click
inside that selection and choose View Selection Source. I could view the
entire source to find it but selection source will limit it to this part of the
page. And then in the selection source is going to be a link to a file, it's going
to be the "source" attribute, type "video," and I want to get the file that has the
".mp4" in this case. I'm going to right-click on that
and choose Copy Link Location and then come in to Amara,
which is a video editing tool for captions. I already have my account and
am logged in, so I will click my button to get started with free subtitles,
paste the video URL, again that ends with ".mp4," which will work, and then click the
Begin button. Now I can start using the Amara captioning tool to manually
add captions to that file.
For part of this I'm going to make sure that the title and description I copy
from the original source because it's actually the Amara website that I will
link as the captioned video.
After I publish the video in Amara I can click on the name of the video and
copy the link to this page to paste into Canvas.
Unfortunately the embed code from Amara does not work inside the Canvas
Rich Content Editor, so I am forced to use the Amara web page itself.
Of course before I post the link I'm going to make sure that I edit the link
text to make it intelligible to my students.
Now my students can click on that link and it'll open in a new browser
window and show that Amara video with the captions that I added.
