I received the confirmation from MCN (The Museum Computer Network) conference that they would like me to present this year. So it looks like I have my work cut out for me because I put together a very intense workshop and now I need to practice.
So before I describe the next step let me just thank your for being my guinea pigs because I am going to have quite a few practice posts for the things that I plan on teaching. You guys are going to learn more than you probably wanted to know about video on the internet but my goal is to make it fun and simple (and I promise not to send more than one copy via email this time). :)
Here is the pitch for my workshop, I'll followup with the outline but for now let me know if you would attend or not based on this description:
Video is the powerhouse content on the web today and overcoming the limitations of video such as the ability to search within the content of a video, user bandwidth limitations and annotating entire film collections can easily be overcome with today's technologies. This workshop will cover: 1. how to trigger on-page behaviors based on the video timeline using JavaScript. 2. how streaming video works and the benefits of using it. 3. how to convert videos to the m3u8 format using PHP and ffmpeg. 4. annotating video frame by frame using the open source tool https://github.com/eFilms 5. alternative distribution options for video collections such as tvOS. Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops. This workshop will be presented in a tutorial format with starter projects and final code solutions provided to attendees. *intended for all skill levels.
