advene
Advene (Annotate Digital Video, Exchange on the NEt) is aimed at providing a model and a format to share annotations about digital video documents (movies, courses, conferences, etc.), as well as tools to edit and visualize the hypervideos generated from both the annotations and the audiovisual documents. Teachers, moviegoers, etc. can use them to exchange multimedia comments and analyses about video documents. The project also aims at studying the way that communities of users (teachers, moviegoers, students, etc.) will use these self-publishing tools to share their audiovisual "readings", and to envision new editing and viewing interfaces for interactive comment and analysis of audiovisual content.

Changes: This version integrates the shotdetect application, and can display an activity trace to provide a feedback about the current activity. A new Edition history view displays the elements that were most recently edited or created. Static views can be exported as static HTML files, so that video analyses can be uploaded to a Web site. The Mac OS X version now uses the gstreamer video player, which offers frame-by-frame navigation.
