Proxy Video & How to Upload it

How to create a proxy movie

You can use any video editing software (Final Cut Pro, Avid, Premiere, QuickTime Pro, Windows Movie Maker, or a number of free video utilities) to save your video into a compressed format which is faster to transfer online. (If you do an internet search for “video converter,” you’ll find lots of information and free software which can convert your file.) Usually there will be a export preset for “iPod Quality”, “mobile device”, “web streaming video” etc. which creates a small file that is good enough for us to do the closed captioning. The most important consideration is to keep the original frame rate of the video (i.e. don’t convert it to a lower frame rate as this might affect the timing of the captions.)

If you’re still not sure what format to choose…

QuickTime (.mov, .mp4): Use “iPod” preset if available, or 320×240, H.264 or MPEG-4 codec 400kbps, AAC audio 128kbps.

Windows Media: 320×240 400kbps (broadband medium quality preset)

Note on Burnt-in Timecodes: If you can insert Burnt-in Timecodes near the top of the video, it helps captioner to match time codes for the captions with the displayed time codes on the screen. Do not worry at all if you do not have burnt-in time codes.
