I wanted to work in tv, I even got as far as picking film as an optional module at school. Got pretty good at writing and editing (directing and cinematography, not so much). But my grades in the sciences were higher and my parents pushed me towards doing STEM at university.

Now I have a job and all the learning is behind me I’m having another crack at it again in my spare time. As hobbies go it’s a lot of fun

I have a sleep tracker and it keeps saying, “girl, you’re the best at sleeping, getting the 8 hours, getting the REM, going to bed and waking up at consistent times, blood oxygen maybe a little lower than usual but if there was a sleep competition you’d easily be top 100!”

But yet I still feel like death in the morning

“Ahh, just an episode of something before I got to bed,” I innocently say to myself

SLOPPY!

It sounds like adding subtitles (or at least a transcript underneath) to your videos would solve a few of your problems.

I’m not sure what you would be planning on hosting your videos on but at my work we use Microsoft Stream to host recordings (cost reasons) and it let’s you search through the subtitles of videos as well as set chapter markers too, both of which I believe are also supported by public facing sites like YouTube too.

Of course, “why write a transcript when you could just write a document,” and, fair. But if you’ve got a script for your video might as well make it into subtitles right? And besides some people, including myself, appreciate a video over written documentation so I can see the thought processes behind things rather than having to abstract it from screenshot or descriptions. I don’t mind written documentation but when presented with the choice I’ll go for the video
