In brief:

1. Download video from Apple Find Out How site
   • Ctrl+click on the video to "Save as QuickTime movie…"
2. Transcribe and time coding using Annotation Transcriber:
   • Import video with "Select Media" upper left button in the toolbar
   • Click on "Show Waveform Display" at the bottom of the window
   • Use Cmd-K and Cmd-L to start/stop/rewind the playhead, fine tune with the mouse wheel
   • Use Cmd+Alt-I to insert timecode
   • Write transcription
   • Add a snippet e.g. "Text missing" as placeholder to insert text pause as timevalues without text are invisible in SRT interpreters
3. Export .srt file with Export >Timed text >Subrip SRT
4. Import .srt file to preview and fine tune time code subtitle using Miyu
   • Click on "Change…" button to open video
   • File->Import from…>SubRip to import .srt file
5. Export .srt file with Export as…> SubRip
6. Edit translation with Smultron using UTF-8
   • Use Goolge translation to get a rough version and then edit it to get a good one.
