Assignment #5 Video editing and subtitling

For your fifth assignment, you can do either of two things:

- Subtitle a song using YouTube.
- Edit and subtitle a video on YouTube.

To do this you will need the programs on the 'Class Links' section.

1. Download the video using the Media DownloadHelper Firefox plug-in.
2. Upload the video to your YoutTube channel. Set it as 'Unlisted'. 
3. Find the song lyrics using Google.
4. Go to Creator Studio on YouTube and then click on the arrow next to the edit button for that video and then select 'Subtitles and CC'.
5. Click on 'Add subtitles or CC' and then select or type 'English'.
6. On the 'Select method' screen, click on 'Transcribe and set timings'.
7. Paste the lyrics onto the text box and then click on 'Set timings'.
8. You may have to adjust the subtitles to fit the vocals.

If you want to choose the video editing and subtitling task, follow these steps:

1. Download The Truth about Climate Change.
2. Using Avidemux, select the clip that begins at 37:10 and ends at 38:16. Use only the skip keyframes option (double forwards of backwards arrows), not the skip single frames one, or you will have to reencode the video!
3. Save the video and upload it to YouTube.
4. Follow steps 4 to 8 of the music video instructions. You can find the video transcript here.

Assignment #4 Discussion Forums

Dear students,

For your fourth assignment you have to create a discussion forum.

Go to www.proboards.com and, on the right, you will find a 'Create a free forum!' section.

1. Fill in your personal details and then click on 'Start building your forum!'.
2. Then enter the rest of the information and forum category and click on 'Create your new forum!'.
3. You have to create two sub-forums:

    - On the forum, click on Admin, on the top bar.
    - Then, click on 'Go to structure'.
    - Select 'Categories and Boards'.
    - Click on 'Create New Category'.
    - Name the category. The name and display name can be the same.
    - If you place the mouse cursor over the new category, to the right, you will find three icons. Click on the second one (the arrow pointing down with the 'New' label).
    - Now, choose a name for your sub-forum and add a description.
    - Repeat this last process to create another sub-forum.
