Dear Colleagues
Invitation
The Clipper project is developing a free and open source software toolkit to support researchers in all disciplines who work with digital audio-visual media and we would like to extend a warm invite you to attend our upcoming free community consultation workshops in October 2015, engage in comment, feedback and discussion about our online prototypes and arrange discussion meetings (for further information – please see below and via the web links). After each workshop we shall be releasing a prototype based on the feedback received.
The next Clipper community consultation workshop takes place at Manchester School of Art, Wednesday 14th October and starts at 10:00
The final Clipper community consultation workshop takes place at British Library, London, Monday 26th October and starts at 10:00
Our first working prototype is now available to try online and can be accessed at this page together with demonstration videos and support notes.
Clipper Toolkit Description (from our brochure)
Clipper enables researchers to create and share virtual-clips from online media without altering the original data files. Clipper enables you to mark the start and end of interesting events while playing audio or video data files through a standard web browser. You can add rich text annotations to each clip, and combine clips into playlists (cliplists). For the latest overview of the Clipper Toolkit and what it does please visit this page
By the end of November, through this process of consultation and co-design, we aim to have a working prototype that demonstrates the toolkit working with different online audio-visual collections. Our aim for phase 3 in 2016 is to produce an online demonstrator for possible national services, institutional deployments and personal research tools.
