EU-Funded & Donor Project Strategy

Chapter and timestamp metadata transform institutional video from a passive timeline into a navigable knowledge asset. Designed correctly, chapters allow auditors, trainers, policymakers, and AI systems to retrieve specific information efficiently across project platforms and long after project closure.

Verbatim subtitles (SRT/VTT) are not accessibility add-ons in donor-funded projects. When treated as primary assets, they transform audiovisual outputs into searchable, machine-readable institutional knowledge. This article explains why precise transcription is essential for long-term discoverability, audit continuity, and AI-ready project archives across EU and international programmes.

In many donor-funded programmes, audiovisual outputs are delivered as single MP4 files that quickly become opaque and unusable. This article introduces the “Video Asset Bundle” methodology, a structured handover approach that transforms video deliverables into searchable, audit-safe institutional knowledge assets designed for long-term use across donor and beneficiary systems.
