English subtitles (fragment)

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Before you open the bowl,
the clay has to be perfectly centered.

113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Brace your left elbow on your knee
and push in with the heel of your hand.

114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
If the clay wobbles against your palm,
it's not there yet.

115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[STUDENT] How long do I keep pushing?

116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Until it feels like it's standing still,
even though the wheel is spinning.

Spanish translation (same cues)

112
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,050
Antes de abrir el cuenco,
el barro tiene que estar bien centrado.

113
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,900
Apoya el codo izquierdo en la rodilla
y empuja con la base de la mano.

114
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,350
Si el barro tiembla bajo tu palma,
todavía no está listo.

115
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,800
[ALUMNA] ¿Cuánto tiempo sigo empujando?

116
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Hasta que parezca quieto,
aunque el torno siga girando.

Delivery notes

  • Files: clay-corner-first-bowl_en.srt (318 cues), clay-corner-first-bowl_es.srt (318 cues). Timings are identical, so the two tracks can be switched without drift.
  • Terms: "leather-hard" translated as dureza de cuero, the term used by Spanish-speaking potters.
  • To check: at 14:22 the teacher names a glaze brand quietly; marked as [glaze name] since it's not clearly audible.

Client: Clay Corner, a small pottery studio with a video channel. Video: "Throwing your first bowl", 24 min 10 s. Ordered: English subtitles plus a Spanish translation. Delivered as two SRT files, one per language.

The client and all details are made up.

Are formulas written as symbols?

Formulas are written as they are spoken. Add them to your term list if you want a particular spelling.

Can you transcribe a recording of a live class with questions?

Yes. Questions from the room are transcribed if they are audible on the recording.

What if a term is misheard?

Send it back for revision and point out what to fix. Revisions within the package are free.
