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

@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

"I wrote this to help us select timestamps for the start and end of Q&A session recordings for EmacsConf 2021. Finding the right time in MPV was hard because it didn’t have a waveform view. Audacity could show waveforms, but it didn’t have an easy way to copy the timestamp. So the obvious answer is, of course, to make the text editor do the job. Yay Emacs!"
@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
