Recently we have been discussing our plans for transcribing Destiny 2 and whether we should begin transcribing with the beta in July, or whether we should wait for the launch in September.
Our current plan is that we should start transcribing during the beta, and if there are any significant changes between the beta and the launch then we’ll just have to re-transcribe those things
So here is a basic outline of how I think we should do things, based on my experience with Transcripts so far.
We will use a separate topic for each of the different kinds of transcript, e.g. Mission, Strike, Cinematic, Lost Sector, Ghost Scan (if there are ghost scans) — the topic for each type will list all of the known entries for that type, e.g. every mission, every strike…
Transcribers will put their name next to 1 or 2 entries on a topic to say that they are going to record it
Transcribers will upload a video (it doesn’t have to be to youtube but it does have to be somewhere that we can access it) and submit a new topic with the title of what they recorded
If you just upload a video that’s fine
If you upload a video and a transcript of that video following our guidelines then you are awesome
Since I don’t think it’s scalable for me to review every single transcript like I did for the last iteration, a group of reviewers will help to clean up transcripts and then mark them as approved on the forum
Either @PurpleChimera or myself will import the approved transcripts into the Ishtar Collective
Are there people who can transcribe videos for people who aren’t able to type out the missions? I capture footage for everything I play but I don’t have the time to type out the dialogue.
I’m wondering if there are people who aren’t able to collect footage but can transcribe I could team up with
When you say transcribe, do you mean the process of ‘edit video, render to YouTube, then transcribe’ or are you just talking about the trabscribe part?
Hey pirate I have video I need to clip up for d1 Sun breaker mission if you want it. I really wish I could transcribe but my computer has completely shit out and I don’t know if I could do it on the work computer…i mean I’m going to try.
