VIDEO ACCESSIBILITY · Workflow idea

Make spoken videos easier to follow without sound.

When a new video is ready, prepare a copy with speech captions burned into the picture. Keep the original, check the finished captions for accuracy, and use a separate output folder so the new copy is not mistaken for another source video.

    Prepare on-screen captions based on the spoken audio in the video.

  4. Save a separate captioned copy

    Keep the original file and place the captioned version in the selected output folder with a clear filename.

The handoff

Keep in mind

The source video is made accessible to the processing service by a link that anyone with that link can view. Use only footage approved for that access, and check the finished captions before distribution.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose separate source and output folders

Select where new videos arrive and where captioned copies should be saved; do not use the same folder for both.

Review link-access requirements

Understand that source videos are made viewable to anyone with their link during processing, and use only content cleared for that access.

Set up the captioning service

Choose the service and account your team has approved to receive and render the selected videos.

Test captions on a short video

Check speech recognition, caption appearance, output naming, and the human review process before using a larger folder.
