I would like to subtitle an MP4 video, how do I load that onto the platform to subtitle?

Thank you for this important question, Lila.

Videos cannot be uploaded to Amara.org, they are only streamed there. So you must upload the video to another platform, then get its URL and use it to create an Amara subtitling page using the form in https://www.amara.org/en/videos/create/.

There are several platforms where you can upload videos: for example YouTube or the Internet Archive. If you upload your video to YouTube, just use the URL of the created page. However, if you use the Internet Archive, don't use the URL for the created page, but the URL of the actual video file that will be listed in the page.

I hope this helps?

Best,

Claude Almansi
