Digitizing Apollo 17 Part 12 – YouTube Channel of Complete Mission

Updated: at 05:00 PM

It has been an eventful beginning to 2015. In my last post I went over the new mission audio released by NASA. This audio has been merged into the base project and the resulting transcript corrections have been made.

Over the years (see previous posts) I have been creating Adobe Premiere videos that contain all mission audio and video. These have taken years to make and I intended to only use them for the purposes of correcting the transcript. However, I recently decided to render them out and upload them to YouTube. The resulting YouTube Channel contains 39 videos that are each 8 hours long. It’s pretty incredible that YouTube can house videos of such long duration. I wonder what people’s reactions will be when they stumble across an 8 hour Apollo Mission video without any context.

Much of the video is black with a simple timecode showing Mission Elapsed Time. Without reference to the overall mission or transcripts, the videos leave you a little lost.

Over the coming weeks I plan to create a proof of concept that links the corrected transcript to YouTube video playback.
