Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos

Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
About a year ago, I wrote about an "HTML5 media framework" called Popcorn.js that let filmmakers build online interactivity right into their web videos. The trouble was that you needed to be (or know or hire) a coding ninja in order to use it.

The article goeson to state that Popcorn Maker, put out by the Mozilla Foundation, is the "Final Cut Pro of online interactive video -- a pofessional-grade tool for creating world-class multimedia experieces from scratch -- Popcorn Maker is more like iMovie." 

To use it you have to grab online media (think YouTube and Vimeo for video, and SoundCloud for audio) and then use the interactive widgets available. Have fun experimenting!

Soundcloud is a very powerful tool. It gives people the option to post their music for anyone to hear.

SoundCloud is a great source for more things than just music. While searching through soundcloud you can find podcasts and talks, so I don't see why they couldn't use it's powers for teaching, I think this is a cool idea.

This is a social network used by all producers in the music business to share and interact with artists all over the world. It is a very reliable website used daily by everybody whether or not they're producers. I think this relates to my topic because it is one of the widely used social networks in the business for artists to show music.
