But maybe @nomada: can.
@nomada: Could you lend my time shifting here one of your famous time shifting eyes? I think I made huge progress but want to get a less biased opinion about that before I go on with other time shifting efforts.

In attachment is the transcript before the timeshifting. The new one is uploaded in the working location.

I can't read the subtitles comfortably, sometimes can't read the full line before it disappears. Guidelines are just what they are - guidelines. The perception and understanding of the message in the video is what we wish to achieve, not the guidelines. I would make the subtitle strings bigger in text and so in reading time too.

These admin tasks could become obsolete if we use Amara. No files can be deleted there and everyone has access to improve (create) a new file for a given project. We would save a lot in communication time too.

Glad to know you are enjoying the timeshifting, ossi. It was good that you insisted for me to check the results. Forget about the guidelines; you need to be able to read the subtitles as comfortably as possible; turn off the sound if needed : )

@nomada:
It really helped to mute the sound. And I realized that I have to change more even if somebody else did the transcript at first and not only correct the start and end points. I did not want to destroy the work completely but sometimes you have to I guess.
I redid it now.

I see the following problems where I have no idea on how to solve it:

• Line 5 "A guy says 'Jesus Christ, you call this scrambled eggs? Your eggs have been sitting there; they're cold.'" has 105 characters.
  
• Line 6 "He can't say that a man is temperamental if he honestly doesn't have enough energy to be reasonable." 100 characters.
  
• Line 11 has 30.4 characters per second (CPS) and is 107 characters long. I have no idea how to do it better there because Fresco talks really fast. This was the best I can do and the lowest character to second ratio I was able to achieve.
  
• At line 12 "'Can I get a seat on the other side', you know" I dropped the "you know" to increase the reading time for the rest of the sentence.
  
• At line 32 "I've learned to do that; first I can only take four," I changed "four" to "4".
  
• At line 48 "I think I'll add little more blue, a little more yellow', you can paint the picture right out" CPS is 26.4
  

So the problem with too less reading time mainly occurs only in line 11 and 48 now. However, I see no way to fix that because Fresco was just too fast when he was younger.
The new version is attached.

The main question for me is if the time shifting is okay now because this seems to be a very hard project. Fresco just talks so fast.

@Christos Pap.:
Nomada already told me this information and gave me specific input regarding this transcript. I changed it but there are still some problems. If you are interested you will find more on that if you read the former posts in this thread (page 1).
