hi again martin. that may have been a little confusing. i was wearing headphones during the music level adj. i meant maybe i SHOULD use external speakers instead. or. i could just tell everyone to wear quality headphones when they watch it!:)

[greg ouellette] “i have background music playing, i must have it too low for computer speakers.”
I was listening to it through a horrible Dell PC mono speaker, so it’s not surprising I missed it.

[greg ouellette] “noted on captioning. would you deliver two versions: w/ and w/o? captioning or just put it out to client?”

It depends how it’s being delivered. Since you have web delivery, all you need is a video file and a caption file. Use a player that has the capability of delivering captions at the click of a button. See YouTube for details. At the moment, the easy way out is via a Flash Player front end, but I believe Timed Text is making inroads into HTML5 territory.

[greg ouellette] ” i am also planning on learning more on microphones for interior work.”
You and me both. I shot a doctor reading a piece to camera in a small room on-site and the audio was horribly echoey, even with a lav. Fortunately, so was the delivery so we scrapped that piece entirely and are heading back to the drawing board (if she’s reading this, she’s a lovely lady but not everyone is cut out to deliver lines convincingly to camera).

Youtube now applies captioning to your uploaded video themselves, free, automatically. How, I don’t know, but there it is.
