Videoediting with Subtitles

  1. Download video from Youtube (e.g. noTube converter)
  2. Download Youtube subtitles for same video (e.g. downsub converter)
  3. Create file in Aegisub ( simply with video is loaded into, save and close)
  4. Use .srt file of subtiles with 'findword' python script to generate a .xml file with information on timecodes of certain, selected word
    1. Open Mac terminal > change to 'findword' directory > command 'cd' and manually pull in find word folder into Terminal > ( easiest if both subtile file and video are in the 'findword' folder, otherwise full path must be given > use command python3 find_word.py [-h] [-i INPUTFILE] [-o OUTPUTFILE] [-w WORD] [-c] [-v] e.g. python3 find_word.py -i “Life.srt” -o “Life.xml” -w work -c -v
  5. Insert generated .xml into full code of Aegisub file by opening the file via e.g. Visual Studio Code
    1. Insert generated .xml; under playlist id=playlist0 replace entry producer="chain1" (*"chain1" needs to be adapted/named as such in the generated .xml file for successful insertion)
  6. Open Aegisub in program to see edited video

Comment: I had not watched this interview in its original entirety. Instead, when clicking through it I always coincidentally caught the artists talking about 'work'. I used the word 'work' in hopes of filtering out the artist's working approach / get an idea of their work, exclusively via the short spoken fragments directly about 'work'.
