While I've trimmed and compressed my recorded talk for #emacsconf2022, I'm wondering about captioning it. I have the transcript, but do I need to add the timings and create a SRT file? Then what, one of the online services, or is there a better way?

@howard but if you're curious, here's my process: https://media.emacsconf.org/2022/backstage/editing-captions.html

I'm curious (because I wrote a quick emacs hack for timing subtitles once), but the site wouldn't let me in, demanding authentication

@lxo your approach reminds me of how I made https://github.com/sachac/emacsconf-2020-emacs-news-highlights . In that one, I used emms to get the timestamps, so I could easily pause or rewind. I've also played around with waveforms: https://github.com/sachac/waveform-el

@sachac @lxo This is really amazing. You implemented not only a waveform view but about half of a nonlinear video editor in #Emacs Lisp. I've used Emacs for years and had no idea this was even possible.

@radehi @lxo waveforms have also been handy for editing subtitle timestamps https://github.com/sachac/subed-waveform , which is nice for starting with subtitles and compiling videos https://github.com/sachac/subed-record
