- Abstract
SUMMARY: After a long period of stagnation, video has come a long way in the Wikimedia movement in the last year. A visual content community has emerged and English Wikipedia has grown to more than 7,000 articles with video through efforts such as Wiki Makes Video. In 2015, there were two big breakthroughs with the creation of a "video editing server" prototype through the efforts of the German chapter and the launch of ogvjs, a Javascript-based media player that allows for immediate Ogg Theora video playback in any modern browser. This session describes the technical and cultural obstacles in incorporating more video in the Wikimedia movement and how they are being addressed with these efforts. We also discuss plans for the future that include working with the Mozilla Foundation and the Internet Archive for a fully distributed collaborative video editing ecosystem.
DETAILS:
- Overview
- State of open video standards - Overview of Ogg Theora and WebM
- Community RFC on using MPEG-4 - January 2014 RFC on video standards adoption and using patent encumbered formats
- Implications of open source requirements for users, creators and uploaders - formats, editing tools, browsers, codecs
- Developments
- Rationale, design and implementation of the German Schnittserver (editing server) project
- Developing and launching ogvjs by Brion Vibber, a JavaScript media player using Ogg/Vorbis/Theora/Opus/WebM libs compiled with Emscripten source-to-source compiler
- Overview of video content statistics and applications in English Wikipedia
- Designing a fully distributed collaborative video editing ecosystem for the future
- Partner: Mozilla's Webmaker Popcorn - a browser-based multimedia assembly interface

- How to create a wiki-like workflow for distributed collaborative video production
- What do video equivalents of edit history, diffs, recent changes, et al. look like?
- What additional tools do video makers need to collaborate?
- How are functions like logging, storyboarding or script writing supported?
- Workshop (time permitting, or in the Unconference)
- One goal is to get feedback from the audience on how to create a "concept video" that best illustrates how a final system might function
- What topic would be ideal to make a "footage call" so that anyone in the world could shoot video and contribute to a larger montage video?
