I see no reason you can’t create a transcript since that is a separate document.

Subject: [Videolib] Captions and transcripts question

I’ve encountered a copyright-related question that I don’t think has been 
addressed in the years I’ve followed this list.

If one sources an existing, freely available streaming video clip on YouTube, 
Vimeo or elsewhere that is not closed-captioned, is it permissible to create 
captions or a transcript for that video if it’s linked in an online course?

I’m curious to hear the collective wisdom on this one.  Thanks,

Andy

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
