The only way I can think of combining all those changes with the soundtrack would be by time alignment, rather than facs.</p> What’s chiefly going on in the movie is movement of Dylan’s head, as he shifts his gaze from the camera, to offscreen, to the placard, and of course of his hands as he exposes the next placard.

I'm fairly sure that's why I didn't do this, actually, there would be just one attached to each caption. The major variance throughout the video is the cards switching out, which happens in time rather than in space. More useful to attach time stamps to the captions rather than using facsimile in this instance, surely?</p> <p>Now, if there were a lot going on in the background, using facsimile (plus timestamps) to mark descriptions of what is going on <em>would</em> be quite interesting and potentially useful... but this is a very static example.</p> Hi Lou – This isn’t a bad idea, and wouldn’t be difficult to implement given that the cards don’t actually move around on the screen during the course of the video.

Dot and I discussed quite a few options, but only implemented the one so far, which focuses on the textual presence in the video.

That would be a real advertisement for the TEI: this just looks gimmicky.</p> Ray, nice idea, but why didn’t you do a real transcript of the song, a proper transcript of the movie captions, (using the new facsimile features), and show how TEI can be used to link them together?
