Subtitling Video

[edit]

Article(s): en:The_Devil_Bat

Request
Hi, I've recently found a video called "The Devil Bat". I've recently gotten into adding subtitles to it, but the media player that opens the video isn't very precise, it doesn't measure the milliseconds, different from the SubScript text thing it offers to use to add subtitles. I've already asked this question on the help desk, and a user suggested I try the Graphic Lab/Video and sound workshop.Is there something like an extension that can show the milliseconds/ zoom in onto the video-playing bar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insnesnakos (talk • contribs)

Unfortunately, nobody seems to be able to answer this question. --Leyo 12:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subtitling Help/Advice

[edit]
  • A video explaining how Creative Commons licenses can be used in conjunction with commercial licensing arrangements

Article(s): en:Creative Commons license

Request
Hello, I'm new to the Wikimedia Commons. I stumbled upon this video and saw that the subtitles were incomplete. I've added roughly two minutes of subtitles but wanted to know if I was doing the best practice and if there was any other information I should take into account when subtitling videos.
I hope this is the right place to ask a question such as this, but if it's not, I'd be happy to receive the correct location for a question like this.

Problems in uploading a voice intro

[edit]

Article: [[]]

Request
Hello Everyone,

I met Adi Roche recently, and was able to take her picture and a voice recording. There two things I need help with concerning said voice recording. The first and most important is that I cannot figure out how to upload it. The media uploader doesn't take the file type (.ogg I believe? It was recorded on voice memo on iPhone if that helps), so I uploaded it here on Vocaroo instead. On the commons page about this matter, it is said that you can request your recording be uploaded if you cannot figure out how to do it yourself. Here I'd like to do that. Thank you. Secondly, I'd like if the recording could be cut after Mrs. Roche says "the island of Ireland", as I think what she says after that violates the voice intro guidelines, which I was unable to find prior to recording. Thank you again for your help and time, --Slamforeman (talk) 21:21, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Request taken by hinnk @Slamforeman: Would you like this this to have the same license as File:Adi Roche 2024.jpg (cc-by-4.0)? hinnk (talk) 20:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thank you very much. Slamforeman (talk) 21:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Uploaded as File:Adi Roche voice intro.mp3. The Vocaroo copy is a 64kbps MP3 (relatively low quality), so to preserve what's there I uploaded it as an MP3 without re-encoding. If you'd prefer it uploaded as an OGG or if you want to upload the original file to Google Drive or something, just let me know. hinnk (talk) 21:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Color to black and white conversion

[edit]
  • The Groom Talks in His Sleep (1935) by Heinosuke Gosho
  • Burden of Life (1935) by Heinosuke Gosho
  • The Bride Talks in Her Sleep (1933) by Heinosuke Gosho
  • Woman in the Mist (1936) by Heinosuke Gosho
  • New Snow (1942) by Heinosuke Gosho
  • Morning Ripples (1952) by Heinosuke Gosho

Article(s): See the corresponding articles for each film

Request
Please convert these films from color to black and white. These films were restored and colorized. It is uncertain whether colorization produces a copyright, but moreover the quality is not so good, so I think they would be better in black and white. I could do it if there is a free software which could do that. There is no other version available. --Yann (talk) 16:51, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
Only New Snow has been transcoded in 1080p. — Racconish 💬 11:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Racconish: Thanks. Which software did you use? Yann (talk) 15:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ffmpeg. — Racconish 💬 06:53, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Import 1080p versions

[edit]
  • Anna Boleyn (1920) by Ernst Lubitsch
  • Storm Over Asia (1928) by Vsevolod Pudovkin
  • Fragment of an Empire (1929) by Fridrikh Ermler
  • Where the North Begins (1923) by Chester M. Franklin

Article(s): See their respective articles.

Request
There are HR 1080p versions of the above films available at the sources (see the file descriptions), but video2commons is unable to process them, mostly due to their size. They should be done manually, or by another way. The new versions can be uploaded over the old ones. --Yann (talk) 08:23, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Graphist opinion(s)
 Request taken by hinnk. Because of their combined size, I'll work on these over the next week or so. hinnk (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done @Yann: The file names include the (previous) resolution, so you may want to rename. hinnk (talk) 08:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Checkmark This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. hinnk (talk) 03:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)


Is there a place to request removal of minor nonfree parts of videos?

[edit]

Article(s): [[]]

Request
So for example the video above needs the part from a film at 6:15 removed. It may need further checking and maybe it would be possible to selectively readd/remove audio so only the non-free audio is removed/replaced. Maybe there is a tool for some of these things. Maybe there is a way that such things can be done quickly. --Prototyperspective (talk) 22:05, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
