[How to find videos to work on]

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.598
There are generally
two ways of finding stuff to work on.

00:00:12.623 --> 00:00:18.321
You can start with a specific video
or you can browse the available tasks.

00:00:19.004 --> 00:00:22.052
How to start with a specific video?

00:00:22.870 --> 00:00:26.458
Search for a TEDTalk, TEDxTalk
or a TED-Ed video

00:00:26.483 --> 00:00:27.997
that you find interesting.

00:00:28.116 --> 00:00:29.908
Remember to watch the video first,

00:00:29.933 --> 00:00:32.842
to make sure that it's not too short,
too long

00:00:32.867 --> 00:00:36.415
too technical,
or maybe not technical enough for you!

00:00:37.177 --> 00:00:38.564
Once you've made your pick,

00:00:38.589 --> 00:00:40.806
copy the title or the speaker's name,

00:00:40.831 --> 00:00:42.504
go to Amara.org,

00:00:42.529 --> 00:00:45.426
and recreate this little trip
through the interface.

00:00:47.141 --> 00:00:51.224
First, make sure that you log in
using your TED profile.

00:00:53.446 --> 00:00:56.660
Then hover the mouse over your username

00:00:57.534 --> 00:01:00.787
and select "TED" from the team list
at the bottom.

00:01:05.428 --> 00:01:09.023
On the team page, click the "Tasks" tab.

00:01:14.275 --> 00:01:17.362
Here, you will see many useful filters

00:01:17.387 --> 00:01:20.386
that will help you find your way
to your video.

00:01:22.902 --> 00:01:26.497
The videos are divided
into a few projects:

00:01:28.204 --> 00:01:35.165
TEDTalks, TEDxTalks, TED-Ed,
OTP Resources and Best of TEDxTalks.

00:01:35.776 --> 00:01:38.426
The default setting here is "TEDTalks,"

00:01:38.451 --> 00:01:41.862
but if the video you're looking for
is not a TEDTalk,

00:01:41.887 --> 00:01:44.681
select one of the other projects
from the list

00:01:44.706 --> 00:01:48.432
or just click "any project"
to search everywhere.

00:01:50.242 --> 00:01:52.555
After the task list has refreshed,

00:01:52.774 --> 00:01:57.568
paste the speaker's name
or the talk's title into the search box

00:01:57.767 --> 00:01:59.227
and hit Enter.

00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:06.219
You will see the tasks available
for your languages.

00:02:07.728 --> 00:02:10.529
Now simply go to the video,

00:02:11.863 --> 00:02:14.870
and click "Start now."

00:02:16.022 --> 00:02:17.870
Let me give you a hint!

00:02:18.426 --> 00:02:20.337
While searching for TEDTalks,

00:02:20.362 --> 00:02:24.060
go with just the speaker's name
or just the title,

00:02:24.466 --> 00:02:28.473
or remove the colon
from the full title, like this.

00:02:29.362 --> 00:02:32.325
If you search for the full title
with the colon in it,

00:02:32.350 --> 00:02:36.539
it may sometimes trip up the system
so you won't get any results.

00:02:37.667 --> 00:02:42.497
Otherwise, if you can't find any tasks
for the video you searched for,

00:02:42.611 --> 00:02:46.496
it usually means that other volunteers
are already working on it.

00:02:46.695 --> 00:02:49.543
Don't give up,
and find another amazing talk!

00:02:51.758 --> 00:02:55.551
Now let's talk about the other way
of finding stuff to work on,

00:02:55.798 --> 00:02:58.266
by browsing the available tasks.

00:02:59.640 --> 00:03:02.520
If you don't have
any specific videos in mind,

00:03:02.624 --> 00:03:05.465
you can browse the tasks
available in our projects.

00:03:06.584 --> 00:03:08.774
Let's have a little fun
with the filters here.

00:03:08.957 --> 00:03:11.813
First, depending on what you want to do,

00:03:12.052 --> 00:03:14.758
select the type of task
you're looking for.

00:03:14.988 --> 00:03:17.623
For example, the "Translate" task.

00:03:21.418 --> 00:03:23.552
Then choose the project.

00:03:23.957 --> 00:03:25.948
The default one is "TEDTalks,"

00:03:25.973 --> 00:03:28.465
but there is more cool stuff
to do in here.

00:03:29.164 --> 00:03:33.116
In addition to TEDxTalks
and TED-Ed videos,

00:03:33.291 --> 00:03:37.156
you can work on subtitles
for video tutorials like this one,

00:03:37.275 --> 00:03:38.997
in "OTP Resources,"

00:03:39.484 --> 00:03:42.944
or you can browse
the carefully selected highlights

00:03:42.969 --> 00:03:46.348
from the ever-growing
general collection of TEDxTalks,

00:03:46.373 --> 00:03:48.777
in the "Best of TEDxTalks" project.

00:03:51.953 --> 00:03:56.254
Pick one of the projects, and you'll get
a list of videos that need your help.

00:03:56.699 --> 00:03:59.245
If you can't find any free tasks,

00:03:59.270 --> 00:04:02.127
just select another project from the list.

00:04:04.881 --> 00:04:07.984
And for now,
happy transcribing and translating!
