[How to find videos to work on]
There are generally two ways of finding stuff to work on.
You can start with a specific video or you can browse the available tasks.
How to start with a specific video?
Search for a TEDTalk, TEDxTalk or a TED-Ed video
that you find interesting.
Remember to watch the video first,
to make sure that it's not too short, too long
too technical, or maybe not technical enough for you!
Once you've made your pick,
copy the title or the speaker's name,
go to Amara.org,
and recreate this little trip through the interface.
First, make sure that you log in using your TED profile.
Then hover the mouse over your username
and select "TED" from the team list at the bottom.
On the team page, click the "Tasks" tab.
Here, you will see many useful filters
that will help you find your way to your video.
The videos are divided into a few projects:
TEDTalks, TEDxTalks, TED-Ed, OTP Resources and Best of TEDxTalks.
The default setting here is "TEDTalks,"
but if the video you're looking for is not a TEDTalk,
select one of the other projects from the list
or just click "any project" to search everywhere.
After the task list has refreshed,
paste the speaker's name or the talk's title into the search box
and hit Enter.
You will see the tasks available for your languages.
Now simply go to the video,
and click "Start now."
Let me give you a hint!
While searching for TEDTalks,
go with just the speaker's name or just the title,
or remove the colon from the full title, like this.
If you search for the full title with the colon in it,
it may sometimes trip up the system so you won't get any results.
Otherwise, if you can't find any tasks for the video you searched for,
it usually means that other volunteers are already working on it.
Don't give up, and find another amazing talk!
Now let's talk about the other way of finding stuff to work on,
by browsing the available tasks.
If you don't have any specific videos in mind,
you can browse the tasks available in our projects.
Let's have a little fun with the filters here.
First, depending on what you want to do,
select the type of task you're looking for.
For example, the "Translate" task.
Then choose the project.
The default one is "TEDTalks,"
but there is more cool stuff to do in here.
In addition to TEDxTalks and TED-Ed videos,
you can work on subtitles for video tutorials like this one,
in "OTP Resources,"
or you can browse the carefully selected highlights
from the ever-growing general collection of TEDxTalks,
in the "Best of TEDxTalks" project.
Pick one of the projects, and you'll get a list of videos that need your help.
If you can't find any free tasks,
just select another project from the list.
And for now, happy transcribing and translating!
