Thanks @AshrafFouad , that was very detailed.   I understand now that the software doesn't allow you to sync the script to the video in an automated way, like YouTube can.  Instead, you have to watch the entire video and stop every few seconds to manually decide which part of the text is associated with the portion of the video you just watched.   I thought it was something different, but it's good to know that it is being useful to you. Again, thanks for the detailed explanation. ... View more

@AshrafFouad    I feel confused right now.  That video has nothing to do with what I asked.   To give you more context, because you probably didn't realize that I was the one that gave you the suggestion of uploading the video to YouTube with the goal of automatically syncing an existing script to it:  You said this:   @AshrafFouad wrote: ..   But for the main goal, was make use of script I have written before, I find the best option for an application that doesn't require upload videos and use videos locally from PC is AHD Subtitles Maker    I'm using it now, and really great application just what I was looking for.   I downloaded the application and spent some minutes trying to find a way to use a previously written script and use the program to automatically sync it to the video, but I didn't find it.  So, I asked if you could share how you are using it for that specific purpose.   The video you suggested in your response only shows a very short example of manually writing the text of the subtitles and then exporting the file, so, it doesn't really help.   If you have one minute, and are willing to spend it here providing some help, would you please explain, very briefly, how you are using that application to sync your previously written script to the video in an automated way?   Thanks. ...

Thanks for sharing your findings, @AshrafFouad    Would you mind sharing here a short summary of how you use AHD Subtitles Maker to sync your script to the video?   I downloaded it and took a quick look at it, but it didn't seem very obvious how to do that.   Thanks, ... View more

Yes, you can do that using Youtube.    I have done it in the past.   Upload your videos in private mode, then use the "Transcribe and auto-sync" option. It is not always completely accurate, but the small corrections you might need to make are definitely easier than other methods I have tried. ... View more

@DanielEvans  That's just speculation and personal opinion/belief, expressed as if they were facts. ... View more

Something else that I didn't see mentioned is that just like many people are now turning their attention to online learning platforms, there are also many people creating training content and becoming on-line instructors.   In the Studio U there was a post mentioning huge delays to new course review processes, test videos reviews, and similar activities because there has been a spike on the instructor side as well.   That means more competition.   This might or might not affect everyone, but it can definitely have an impact as well, which could compensate, at least partially, the mentioned increase in learner numbers. ...

I've recorded voice with dynamic mics for a long time, with no hiss at all.   Saying that dynamic mics are wrong for speech is a generalization. ... View more

I would argue that is not really that clear, because it says "...trust Udemy for employee upskilling" instead of saying directly that they are customers. ... View more

The above answer will not apply to courses in the Udemy For Business (UFB) program after July 15th.   It was just announced that the terms of the program will be modified to require exclusivity, which means that if your courses are selected for the program, you will lose the freedom mentioned by Abbie in her previous reply.   EDIT:  I failed to clarify that you can opt-out of the UFB program if you want to. ...
