Media Library

A media library is a repository from which videos may be remixed. This should involve raw foorage. It should be organized in a fashion that facilitates the creation of explainer videos. While various online platforms may exist for Collaborative, Online Editing, the current method that can result in scalable, parallel development is a simple upload to a media sharing site, from which another user may edit remotely.

The simplest instance of this is, ex, a person uploading high quality footage - in numerous clips, and others downloading.

A Media Library should have critical OSE assets, as well as some raw footage.

To make a Media Library useful for remote editing purposes, we need to clarify the requirements for making uploaded footage useful.

OSE's official repository is on YouTube and Vimeo. Other collaborators should upload to their own media upload sites, and these may be cloned in OSE's Media Library as needed.

The properties of Media Clips that make them useful are:

• Good, interesting, or artistic content
• Any documentary material of important topics
• Content should be highly relevant to the discussion in the OSE Book - forthcoming.
• Clips should be preprocessed (trimmed for dead time) prior to uploading to a media site to facilitate use
• Individual videos should be transcribed/annotated for critical points

A sample platform for collaborating on video could be, for example, a wiki page, with windows (such as Flashy XM
