## Transcript basis

The AFP/Dailymotion source video already contains burned-in English captions. PBC added a separate black transcript deck underneath the video so the added text does not cover the original lower-third or the original subtitles. The wording was checked against the visible English subtitles, public transcript snippets, and an automatic German-to-English Whisper translation.
