We’ve created a new a step-by-step guide to adding a sign language interpreter to your videos.

As part of our series of guides on improving accessibility using digital media, the latest instalment takes a hands-on approach to adding a signer to your videos using a technique known as ‘chromakeying’.

We’ve written this guide with the novice in mind and kept the equipment costs purposefully minimal as budgets become ever more elastic. This guide is the latest in a series that also contains Adding Closed Captions to Flash Video.

If you are reading this message, it’s in place of our Video Player which is not displaying as your browser may have Javascript disabled or no Flash player - please download the file using the link below instead.
