Deep Tagging Modalities
There are different styles of media tagging depending upon a number of factors depending on the depth of understanding of the tag author related to both the general subject matter of the video, and the specific subject matter of the video Knows the subject matter thoroughly and knows exactly what's in the video and only needs to connect the obvious index to the timeline.
a. May want to locate sections by time valueb. Visual fast-forwarding and fast playc. Copy tag text from other sourcesd. Import tag text from other sourcese. Import transcriptf. PowerPoint import
The following are typical tagging/indexing scenarios:
Has general knowledge of the subject matter but limited to no knowledge of the contents of the video.
a. Might utilize some form of tag import as described above, but would need to watch the video throughout (usually) to be able to create tags.Has no knowledge of the subject matter but is aware of the structure of the content or has some other general instructions on finding key points in the video
a. Note the position of every scene or a given scene
b. Find instances of people places or things in the video
Has no knowledge of the subject matter or the video contents
a. In this case the only viable option is generally to create a transcript. See “Transcript Workflow” following.
Creating a transcript as a first step in the tag authoring process is the most efficient method for tag authoring, as reflected in the following process:
- A transcript can be created by a person with no understanding of either the subject matter or the video contents. They merely record what was said and in some cases what was done. The transcript can be time-stamped using standard dictation tools.
- The time-stamped transcript can be imported into Raptive Media, which will automatically create a tag for each time stamp and populate the transcript field.
- The subject matter expert then does NOT have to view the entire video. They can scan the tags and the transcript and then alter the tags as needed.
