>> Hello, welcome to this how-to video on how to add captions to the JW FLV Player to play Flash and/or H.264 videos. What we're going here is use the CaptionSync automated captioning system to generate some timed text files for us. So let's quickly get started here to see what we're trying to caption. I'll start up the Wimpy FLV Player which basically allows us to see an FLV looks like. So let's do a quick preview of that: >> Hello, this is a short getting started -- >> Okay so that's what we're trying to caption and we'll just do a QuickLook on the text transcript that we have associated with this. Now we'll log into the CaptionSync automated captioning site. Please contact us if you don't have a login and password. The first thing we need to do is select the Web application type. And let's call this submission "JW FLV Player Captions". And we'll select our text transcript and we'll select our FLV. And if we didn't have a text transcript we could just check this radio button here and have it transcribed by Automatic Sync Technologies, but we have so, so we don't need that. Under Advanced Settings we can set the video pane size; that's not strictly required for the DFXP Adobe XML, but it is useful for other things such as SAMI files and QuickTime files. So we know this one is 798 by 607. So we put that in there. The text pane size is not really necessary for that, but we'll leave that there and we'll leave text pane height at 48. We're going to change the line length to 70, because we've got a fairly large video here. Two lines per caption is good, medium font size. And now let's make sure we've selected the right outputs. So we'll select all these here and deselect them. And then we'll add in DFXP timed text transcript for Flash. Then we will Apply Changes and upload our video. And we'll have a peek at our progress bar and it looks like about 2 minutes to upload that. So while we're uploading that we will download the JW FLV Player. So we'll open a new tab, go to our bookmark and load the LongTail Video site here. They have a couple of players; the player we are interested in is the JW FLV Player, so we can select right here. And basically we need to download, so we just put in our email address, click agree to the terms and conditions. You will need to buy a license if it's for commercial use. We don't need the Viral Plugin so uncheck that and click the download. And now we're kind of downloading and uploading and the same time here. We've got that component now, so I'm going to open the Sites directory which is where Mac OS X serves up webs from for the internal Adobe er Apache server. But if you've got a remote site, you can put your components there. So we're going to open the downloaded mediaplayer folder and there are 3 components which we need here; the SWF player, the JavaScript and the yt.swf component as well. So we'll put that into Sites. And we also put our FLV into Sites as well. I guess at this point in time we can also talk a little bit about what the XML er HTML needs to look like. So let's go to the LongTail Video site, look at our FLV Player and on that page we just downloaded from there is an Installation about halfway down here. And basically we have a slightly modified version of that to tackle to the caption plugin. So we're going to open this and basically we've added in a couple things here. Number 1 we've added in the captions component. And so that's basically just calling this particular caption component on the LongTail Video site. And then we have optional parameters which format how the captions are going to look; that's fontsize 11, puts a semitransparent background, and the third one down here makes sure that the captions are on by default. The other thing that we need to add, which isn't in the Installation over here, is the reference to our XML. So we've got our Basic.adb.xml in here. And, of course, you need to reference your video as well. We've got our player size up as 798 x 627, so needed 20 extra pixels to put in there for the player bar at the bottom. And we specifying that we need a minimum of Flash Player 9. Okay, so that's pretty much all there is to it. It looks like we're done our upload to Automatic Sync and we'll go -- let's just put our HTML back in this Sites directory here. So the only thing we're missing is our caption file. So let's see where things are at on the Automatic Sync site. So the upload was successful and we should see results back shortly, to this email address and basically it going have our Basic.adb.xml attached. While we're waiting for that, what we can do is load up our video player, and so that's off the internal server here. And that's what things look like. Now it doesn't have the caption file yet so it's not going to load. I will check our email here -- we have our files. We'll just take from our email and plunk that in there. So now if we look in our Sites directory we now have our Basic.adb.xml, that's the timed text output for Flash. And we'll do a reload on this page and we will notice a couple of things; number 1, down here is a closed caption button and number 2, when we click it, it should play our video: >> Hello, this is a short getting started video for Automatic Sync Technologies' CaptionSync automated captioning service. The first place I'd like you -- >> Okay, let's just turn off the sound here. And then so when you click the caption button here, the captions disappear and come back. And that's pretty much all there is to it.
