I've used wink before, and I think it's great. Perhaps a little rough on the edges<div>but it gets the job done.</div><div><br></div><div>+1 wink</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 4:02 AM, Raindrops From Sky <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raindrops.fromsky@gmail.com">raindrops.fromsky@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
A few months ago there was a discussion on training videos<br>
(tutorials). The main problem brought up by people was that it is<br>
difficult to translate the videos to different languages.<br>
<br>
Now we may have a solution, using Debugmode Wink, an excellent<br>
screen-capture software. (see <a href="http://www.debugmode.com/wink/" target="_blank">http://www.debugmode.com/wink/</a>).<br>
<br>
The process is as follows:<br>
1. Capture the video using Debugmode Wink (freeware) with voice.<br>
2. In post-production phase, add annotations, text boxes and call-outs<br>
using Wink.<br>
3. Add transcribed text of the voice in all frames, like subtitles.<br>
This is the key.<br>
4. Export the subtitles from the entire flash movie as a single text file<br>
(This is like "srt" file in a DVD, which is a text file with<br>
time-stamp for each dialog.)<br>
5. This text file can be translated manually or through Google Translation.<br>
6. Re-import the translated file into Wink. The entire video is ready<br>
in another language.<br>
7. Record new voice in the new language in post-production mode in Wink.<br>
<br>
The only problem is if the movie shows Blender controls in detail,<br>
those will be seen in the original language.<br>
<br>
Note that the existing version of Wink can already do this.<br>
<br>
In addition, the next major release of Wink v3 is about to be<br>
released. Interested people can use that alpha and give comments that<br>
helps the author to fine-tune features that are needed for making good<br>
tutorials.<br>
<br>
This is just like how Blender features are developed with a "live" project.<br>
In this case Blender video tutorials would be the testing ground for Wink v3.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
