Subtitling Video

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)

Subtitling Help/Advice

• 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.

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)

Only New Snow has been transcoded in 1080p. — Racconish ^💬 11:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Racconish: Thanks. Which software did you use? Yann (talk) 15:44, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

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

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)

Extracted in full from YIFY torrent page, some include company logos, restoration notes or credits which are not part of the original works (and therefore, copyvio that needs to be cut out). --Mayimbú (talk) 01:12, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

I have copies I can upload for about half of these (Keaton, Lubitsch, Murnau, Vertov, and maybe The Sheik). I can start on those and then, once that's done, work on trimming the others. Might be a good idea to take another look at Maciste all'inferno though. It isn't {{PD-old-70}}, and I don't think the {{PD-Italy}} claim works the same way for moving images. hinnk (talk) 04:01, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
