Subtitles: yes, no, maybe, and if so then how, why and when? #writing #subtitles

Eine fertige Untertitel-Datei soll beim Rendern in das dazugehörige Video eingebunden werden.

kdenlive unterstellt aber offenbar, daß die Datei in iso8859-15 erstellt wurde, und konvertiert sie nach utf8. Da sie bereits in utf8 ist, werden die Umlaute verbeult.

Was soll das?

Just ran Whisper (OpenAI) completely locally on my system (RX 6700 XT / 16 GB RAM).

Whisper is an open source speech recognition model that can transcribe audio, generate subtitles, and even translate between languages.

Test video: The Reason Why Cancer is so Hard to Beat by Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoJwt9l-XhQ)

Setup:

- Whisper installed via pip
- Model: small (fast, good enough for English)
- GPU acceleration via ROCm

Result:
~98% accurate transcription with only a few minor errors, already solid for generating subtitles.

Next steps / possibilities:

- Auto-generate subtitles (.srt)
- Correct subtitles with a local LLM
- Translate speech
- Burn subtitles directly into videos

Video workflow:

- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)

No cloud, real hardware.
Everything runs on Linux, so anyone can set this up.
No GPU? No problem, you can also run it using PyTorch’s CPU backend, just much slower.

A+ for entertainment. F for accuracy?

#ProjectHailMary will be the first movie my wife and I have gone to in probably 2 years. Partly not interested in a lot of movies recently and partly because we can often get #Japanese #subtitles when we stream at home.
