Video subtitling and authoring instructions and examples developed as part of the Global Performing Arts Database (GloPAD, see www.glopad.org), an online, multilingual database project for materials and information on performing arts worldwide. As part of developing a system for our contributors to use we wrote up several sets of instructions on creating videos and subtitled videos for use on the GloPAD system. We have abstracted from those instructions some of the procedures we think are generally useful beyond our specific project.
