@danielsangeo With Randrye's permission, I've colorized the subtitles to allow for a more intuitive reading experience: TerrorTraxColorized.zip A demonstration of the color can be seen in action here: https://www.captionfy.io/video/youtube/EkED9XMvSK8?caption=6243b48e4ac3ad44d07858ae (Please note the font difference and missing background are specific to Captionfy, and will not be the case on YouTube)

For anyone who cares over a decade later, I recommend Subtitle Edit. Obviously, Subtitle Workshop nowadays is outdated. Subtitle Edit is free, highly versatile, and offers lots of excellent features. Just about anything you could want in a subtitle editor, it's got. It even allows for stylization (which YouTube supports, by the way) such as color or positioning. I've listed the specific formats on another post.

@danielsangeo I asked about this in one of the Q&A threads, but is there any chance of allowing subtitles with stylization? I'll repeat what was said there: Subtitles on YouTube can utilize advanced features such as color and positioning, though not in .srt format (YouTube only allows plaintext in this format). Are you going to enable more subtitle file types to be submitted to the forums, such as .vtt, .smi and .ytt files? Their correct usage would allow for more intuitive reading experiences. Specifically: .vtt allows for positioning and simple markups .smi has full color and markup support .ytt allows for maximum customization of subtitles, including color, positioning, and everything else with YouTube CC's I can share examples of this in action if so desired.

Thank you for your continued work, it's very much appreciated.

@danielsangeo Yes, right now Freeman's Mind 2: Episode 8 uses the incorrect Russian subtitles, being a repeat of 7's.

Also note, a couple of the subtitles on the forums appear as gibberish when opened. This is an encoding error. They probably use ANSI instead of UTF-8. On Captionfy, these same subtitles are encoded correctly and available for download.

Error on line 24: lack of space between subtitles.

Update: All currently missing subtitles (ones that were finished and posted) can be viewed at this link: https://www.captionfy.io/channel/youtube/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw More information can be found on this post here.

The state of community captions has been messy ever since YouTube decided to stop supporting this feature (just 2 weeks after the 20th anniversary of the ADA no less), but one website that's picked up some of the slack is the underused, underrated captionfy.io Similar to YouTube's caption editor, it's great for writing basic captions for YouTube videos, without the need for downloading each video, but it's also got better privacy than Amara's free version (you can create private/anonymous captions), playlists, channel pages, and you can upload or download captions for general viewing and posterity. It may not be perfect, but it's no slouch either. So besides using it as a straightforward caption editor, it's great for having a single place to view, store, and organize captions, because they are intrinsically linked to videos. This extends to Accursed Farms, of which every completed, non-published subtitle is available for viewing here: https://www.captionfy.com/channel/youtube/UCJ6KZTTnkE-s2XFJJmoTAkw (To make them look more like YouTube's subtitles, choose white as the color and a translucent background)

Well, five years have passed just as he mentioned (nearly), so here you go. Let's take another look and see how accurately the predictions panned out, while adding accessibility in the process. RossDemonetizationSpecial.srt If so desired, I can create a version that changes position so as to not obscure important visual information (non .srt format).

Looks like the Portuguese version again.

The floating head was much more engaging this time around compared to Cybermorph.

FreemansMind_BoatBlooper.srt

Huh. The environments remind me a little bit of the "Timeline" mods for Half-Life. Especially part 3 with its extreme exoticism.

10 bucks says that Freeman will have a (relatively) positive disposition towards Mossman. Evidence: Actually praises him for his work in his field. Both share ambiguous moral compass. She knows (or at least sounds like to a lay person) what the hell she's talking about in regards to how the teleportation breakthroughs and theory works.

I just realized: for Ross's videos with written scripts, 90-100% of the work for subtitles is already done—all that's needed is to go to the YouTube subtitle page, hit Auto-Sync, overwrite the auto-generated subtitles with text from the script, hit done (or save draft), and that's it. YouTube will use its speech detection to time them with correct words and punctuation. That significantly reduces the workload completing them. Best case scenario, no further work needed. Worst case, a user might need like 15 minutes to remove unused or superfluous text. And if it is the latter and Ross doesn't want rudimentary subtitles on the video, all he'd need is to download the draft from YouTube after syncing, and share it on the forums to let people finish the work the normal way. tl;dr Have a script? You've already got subtitles: Video Details > Subtitles > ADD/EDIT > Auto-Sync > Paste > Done

Highest recommendation. Best sorts of emergent gameplay. It's a blast. Mixing and matching strategies is great. Mechanics may appear simple on the surface, but that's because there are so damn many of them and they interact in complex ways. Humor and excuse plot not really my thing, but I love the atmosphere and music. Plus, you can play as a knockoff Bob from Messiah. No DRM/GaaS. Sequel with cars and larger worlds in development. This is what GTA should be.

More suggestions: Typo: subtitle 7—'been in a bike' vs 'on' In-game dialogue that's already subtitled doesn't need to be subtitled again (e.g. ["Hey look! It's Sonic!!"], ["Shaa!"], etc.) but unsubtitled stuff like ["Take that! Take that! Take that!"] can stay in. Alright, that's it. If I notice anything else, I'll add it to this. Edit: Forget first typo, I'm dumb.

Overall, really well done. Only minor suggestion is to split the 2nd subtitle block into two, one for each sentence. Unless two adjacent sentences are spoken very rapidly, most style guides want one subtitle for a sentence unless it bleeds over to the next one or there are multiple speakers.

If you want a place for people to easily watch and download your captions, you could try Amara or Captionfy.

Alternatively, download them from here: https://www.captionfy.io/video/youtube/Szs7m-hpztk?caption=60858f52fb25c28c20bf5a52

Here's the English subtitles for the latest Dead Game News episode. As for why it's in a zip folder, it's not an srt file, but a WebVTT file, because that format uses italicize markup which YouTube recognizes. The subtitle editor within YouTube won't display the italics, but they'll show up on the published video. Also, don't change them from the subtitle editor, or the italics will vanish entirely. DeadGameNewsApple.zip

Wow, so this blew up. Figured I'd add something that's been handy for me recently. It's a browser program not dissimilar to YouTube's subtitle editor that can add captions to embedded videos, but you can also upload/download your own subtitles as well, making it relatively versatile. Then again, I don't know what others want out of community contributions, but for me, it was a pleasant surprise I figured I'd share: https://www.captionfy.io/home

YouTube is dropping support for anybody to manually submit captions for videos. Full effect will take place by the end of September. Uh... That's pretty much it I guess.
