Hi guys. It's been awhile for me, but I'm hoping to get back into working with my videos again soon. I love how this website is still so positive and I still recognize many of the names/userids! I'm wondering if anyone has done any video where you needed to do some translating (language)?
I have some video that I recorded in Germany back in 1999. It's of a distant relative of mine speaking in German to one of my uncles. My uncle understood it that day, but he's not sure if he can translate it for me today. He's willing to try though. I didn't understand a word but wanted to record it in case it was important. I think he was describing how his family had to walk across countries to get back into Germany when he was younger.
I'm wondering how the best way to do it would be. I'm picturing me putting what he says as text (in English) on top of the video of him speaking German, but how do I know what words go with what part of the video. Does that make sense? I'm also trying to decide how I get the video to my uncle - of course he lives a few states away from me so getting together with him isn't easy. Maybe cutting it up into many little video clips so I know what words go with what part of the video? Sending him the entire video?
Has anyone tried to do something like this before? Any recommendations for me?
Thanks,
Sue
