Obtaining video source with no voice audio for narration remaster

I want to record a better voiceover for this clip. Does anyone know where I can find the original video source file? Gwizard11216 (talk) 11:45, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Gwizard11216:. This video was automatically generated by the VideoWiki tool based on a script (which can be seen on the project page). On the project page, the text you see is automatically converted to audio, and the image/video clips you see are rendered as video. Each text heading is a signal to the VideoWiki generator indicating that the following text and image are to be rendered together in the output video. Consequently, in the case of static images, the duration of the synthesized audio determines how long the static image will appear in the video.

Please note that the odd, seemingly incorrect punctuation is required to help audio render properly.

If you haven't already done so, I recommend you have a look at Wikipedia:VideoWiki/Tutorial to see how this all works.

If this seems too complicated and your goal is to voice-narrate the existing video, it might be easier to just:

• download the video
• record your narrations (e.g., using open source tool like Audacity)
• using a video editor, replace the existing audio tracks with your narrations
• upload your modified video under a different filename (e.g., "IncrementalEncoderOverview.webm")

If you decide to do this, please note on your upload that your video is derived from this one.
