Excerpt
Excerpt On page 12: "This thesis presents Individeo, a set of software interfaces for browsing and editing digital video. The Individeo browser provides a visualization of how multiple videomakers are reusing shared video in divergent ways. The browser uses a dynamic interface, based on generalized fisheye views, to scale and display a large number of video clips and sequences within a limited screen area. By showing the different ways a video clip has been edited within multiple sequences, the browser informs the user of the various contexts in which the shared video has been reused. The Individeo editor allows users to create video sequences composed of video clips and text inter-titles. Editing is performed through a storyboard interface, where sequences can be composed through the casual arrangement of video clips within an editing area." Additional background info on p. 11 |
