Doing more than Dumb Video

By Nick Hodge | April 17, 2007

Dumb Video is hard. You spend all your time editing, fixing audio, encoding and uploading.

Smart Video is going to be easy with this Microsoft Silverlight stuff. URLs, chapters, and deeper sub-tagging. All these ideas are flowing through my mind from this conversation from Uncle Dave, the Life Kludger.

Imagine a canvas of videos and podcasts. Zoom into one, and see the "sub-tags" or links to other videos, or general searches. Sort of a doing what HTML does for text for other, non-textual content.

Time to learn some new stuff.

    Ahh...then imagine getting the output feeds from the canvas, sifting it through your 'personal signal filter', and piping it into your preferred video viewer as river of connected video snips.

    Yet another aisle in the Web 2.0 supermarket?

    I can't see it taking off, though, until the creative applications support it ... and those are currently owned by Adobe (benevolent keeper of Flash video technology et al).

    But how quickly the fashionable web houses jump technology ship! We discovered most are up for tools and technology that make their dreams more obtainably. When we took WPF to several in London they practically ripped our arms off in the rush to adopt the technology. Change is about to happen.

    As a stop gap until vendors catchup how about this. Feed video through something that grabs audio and strips out the words (smart voice recognition), builds index of everything spoken and matches up overlaps generating a feed of the uncovered connections with links back to the source video.

    Is video the one thing on the planet google aren't indexing? Yet.
