Hi, very nice stuff. I thought it was interesting that you mentioned that you saved the best stuff for your DVD. I find that a bit counter-productive. Assuming the reason you are doing a teaser is to tease people into buying the dvd - then it seems that it would make more sense to include a

Thanks Milt for your feedback. The intended market for the DVD are the 800+ people that participated in the event, ie the paddlers. Apart from the racing, there is a lot of cultural footage as the outrigger canoe is a huge part of the Cook Islands culture and way of life. Roxanne Darling (from

A similar project that I do with students are 'sample movies'. the idea is that a film/video camera (and/or sound recorder) are sampling machines (eg 25 fps) so we make this literal. You use your video camera and you then sample for a similarly defined interval. eg 5 seconds every 5

Hey Jay, Adrian and Susan, I like the interval approach for otherwise lengthy videos. Chunking is a good idea; like a moving thumbnail. In a way, mydayyesterday flickr group bootstraps flickr into something like 12second.tv. In addition, I know users can drop photos as comments, but can they

what you need is something that pulls a frame out of video at nominated interval, sets its duration, and edits them together to get a poster movie (a sort of micro poster movie). So you could, for example: tell the app to grab a frame at every 5 minutes, for that frame to have a duration

Adrian, I think the (1) micro-thumbnail poster approach is more viable than the (2) interval video approach, because I can still scrub through my captured video anyway. A lot of web video service can generate thumbnails, but does anyone know of a desktop app that can do that? Perhaps an

applescript can do it, don't need SMIL if you don't want to. I'll ask a former student of mine who is doing a lot of web video stuff, might be able to get him to make something On 05/01/2009, at 2:30 PM, Kevin Lim wrote: I think the (1) micro-thumbnail poster approach is more viable

Adrian, Looking forward to it :) Archive.org seems to generate thumbnails from uploaded video as independent jpegs, which I've stitched together as a cover poster for previous videos. A quick and dirty way might also be to simply grab a screenshot of video thumbnails generated from within your
