WEBVTT 00:00:02.978 --> 00:00:03.981 Hey, everyone! 00:00:04.109 --> 00:00:07.472 In this video, you'll learn how to sign up for Amara Community, 00:00:07.472 --> 00:00:09.242 so that your friends and followers 00:00:09.242 --> 00:00:11.596 can help you subtitle and translate your videos. 00:00:11.596 --> 00:00:12.683 Let's get started. 00:00:13.530 --> 00:00:16.146 First, you'll need to create an Amara account. 00:00:16.146 --> 00:00:19.457 If you already have an account, you can click "Go to Login". 00:00:19.457 --> 00:00:22.178 Otherwise, fill out the form and create a new account. 00:00:22.963 --> 00:00:25.089 A confirmation email will be sent to you. 00:00:25.089 --> 00:00:26.707 You'll need to verify your email 00:00:26.707 --> 00:00:29.945 before you can use some of the features of your Amara Community team. 00:00:30.916 --> 00:00:32.339 Pick a name for your team. 00:00:32.339 --> 00:00:35.388 It can match your YouTube channel, or be something else entirely. 00:00:36.979 --> 00:00:40.783 Here, you'll choose the number of seats and languages for your team. 00:00:40.783 --> 00:00:43.607 Each seat is an available space for a team member. 00:00:44.195 --> 00:00:46.594 "Team languages" refers to the number of languages 00:00:46.594 --> 00:00:48.950 your team members can translate your videos into. 00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:52.249 If you're not sure about what you'll need, start with a small number. 00:00:52.249 --> 00:00:54.113 You can always upgrade your plan later. 00:00:55.782 --> 00:00:57.940 Next, you'll be taken to the payment page. 00:00:58.466 --> 00:01:00.352 Enter your payment details here. 00:01:00.352 --> 00:01:01.973 You'll be able to review your plan 00:01:01.973 --> 00:01:04.293 before finalizing your purchase on the next page. 00:01:05.377 --> 00:01:07.601 Make sure everything looks good before you buy. 00:01:07.972 --> 00:01:10.580 Keep in mind that your plan will automatically renew 00:01:10.580 --> 00:01:11.791 after three months, 00:01:11.791 --> 00:01:13.313 but you can cancel at any time. 00:01:14.130 --> 00:01:16.776 Now you're ready to start customizing your team. 00:01:16.776 --> 00:01:20.351 You'll automatically be taken through a few quick steps to get you started. 00:01:21.029 --> 00:01:23.243 The first step is to link your YouTube channel. 00:01:23.872 --> 00:01:27.961 This will allow your team to easily create and publish subtitles to YouTube. 00:01:28.363 --> 00:01:32.653 If all of your YouTube videos are spoken in the same language, choose that here. 00:01:32.653 --> 00:01:35.992 If you speak more than one language in your videos, leave this blank 00:01:35.992 --> 00:01:38.623 and you can manually enter the video languages later. 00:01:38.623 --> 00:01:41.284 You'll be taken outside of Amara to login to YouTube. 00:01:42.518 --> 00:01:46.315 The next step is to choose the languages you want subtitles created in. 00:01:46.667 --> 00:01:50.085 If you want subtitles in the language your video is spoken, 00:01:50.085 --> 00:01:52.945 make sure to include your channel language here. 00:01:52.945 --> 00:01:56.238 Once you set these languages, you won't be able to change them, 00:01:56.238 --> 00:01:59.984 so if you don't know which ones you want just yet, skip this for now, 00:01:59.984 --> 00:02:01.814 and you can always set the rest later. 00:02:02.364 --> 00:02:05.334 Your "user language" refers to the languages you speak 00:02:05.334 --> 00:02:08.262 and understand well enough to create subtitles in. 00:02:08.745 --> 00:02:12.646 Make sure to fill this out if you want to personally contribute to videos on Amara. 00:02:13.495 --> 00:02:17.271 Finally, if you have friends or family that you want on your team, 00:02:17.271 --> 00:02:20.701 you can invite them by entering their email addresses in this box. 00:02:20.921 --> 00:02:25.103 If you don't have specific users in mind for your team, click "Skip for now". 00:02:25.469 --> 00:02:27.618 We'll show you how to send an application link 00:02:27.618 --> 00:02:29.072 to your followers instead. 00:02:29.779 --> 00:02:33.285 Once you finish the setup steps, you'll be taken to your Team Dashboard. 00:02:33.745 --> 00:02:36.642 Here, you'll be able to see videos that need subtitles, 00:02:36.642 --> 00:02:40.136 recent activity, and navigate to other management pages. 00:02:40.871 --> 00:02:43.378 To see all of your videos, head to the Videos page. 00:02:45.144 --> 00:02:47.163 Once you link your YouTube channel, 00:02:47.163 --> 00:02:50.531 any public videos from your channel will show up here. 00:02:50.531 --> 00:02:52.308 They will be imported automatically, 00:02:52.308 --> 00:02:55.649 but it may take up to 15 minutes for them to show up. 00:02:55.649 --> 00:02:58.483 If you didn't select a channel language in the setup steps, 00:02:58.483 --> 00:03:02.006 this is where you can specify what languages your videos are spoken in, 00:03:02.006 --> 00:03:03.880 either one at a time or in bulk. 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.710 If you skipped any of the initial setup steps, 00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:08.813 you can complete them from the Settings page. 00:03:09.996 --> 00:03:13.566 The Subtitle Languages tab allows you to choose languages 00:03:13.566 --> 00:03:16.864 that your users will be able to create subtitles in. 00:03:17.095 --> 00:03:20.711 Make sure to hit "Save Changes" to finalize any changes you've made. 00:03:20.959 --> 00:03:24.814 Keep in mind that you can't change or remove a language once you set it, 00:03:24.814 --> 00:03:26.989 but if you find you need more languages, 00:03:26.989 --> 00:03:29.105 you can use this button to upgrade your plan. 00:03:31.235 --> 00:03:34.688 The YouTube Channel tab is where you can link your YouTube channel, 00:03:34.688 --> 00:03:36.222 if you haven't already. 00:03:36.222 --> 00:03:38.769 The channel name will show here once it's been linked. 00:03:39.849 --> 00:03:43.339 The Team Admission tab is where you can manage how users join your team. 00:03:43.669 --> 00:03:46.004 You can choose to either invite users directly, 00:03:46.004 --> 00:03:49.252 or have users apply to be on your team through your welcome page. 00:03:49.589 --> 00:03:53.511 Right click the welcome page link and select "Copy link address". 00:03:53.974 --> 00:03:56.704 Now you can paste the link to share with your followers. 00:03:56.965 --> 00:03:59.933 To manage your incoming applications, go to the Members page 00:03:59.933 --> 00:04:01.804 and click "Review Applications". 00:04:02.674 --> 00:04:06.214 Here you'll see how many seats you have left on your Amara Community team. 00:04:06.612 --> 00:04:09.275 You can always upgrade your plan if you run out of seats. 00:04:14.135 --> 00:04:16.885 The Subtitle Workflow tab allows you to add a review step 00:04:16.885 --> 00:04:18.603 in the subtitling process. 00:04:18.603 --> 00:04:21.515 When review is enabled, subtitles won't get published 00:04:21.515 --> 00:04:23.953 without a second team member checking their work. 00:04:24.156 --> 00:04:26.826 This can help ensure that your subtitles are accurate 00:04:26.826 --> 00:04:28.795 and safe from spammers and trolls. 00:04:30.771 --> 00:04:33.395 If you want to customize how your team pages look, 00:04:33.395 --> 00:04:36.581 you can add a banner and logo from the Community Description tab. 00:04:36.991 --> 00:04:40.699 You can also update any info and messaging you want displayed for your team. 00:04:43.392 --> 00:04:46.295 Now you're all set up and ready to start managing your team. 00:04:46.605 --> 00:04:48.124 Check out the links in the description 00:04:48.124 --> 00:04:51.009 to find more resources about Amara Community teams. 00:04:51.299 --> 00:04:53.195 We're excited to help you get started.
