Clipper: Enhancing Time Based Media for Research
A collaboration between The City of Glasgow College, The Open University and Reachwill Ltd., Funded by Jisc
  
We are developing a free and open source software toolkit to support researchers in all disciplines who work with audio-visual media and invite you to view our website and blog and visit an online early prototype to get your reactions and comments. 
 
We need to know if this proposed toolkit would be of use, if possible by Friday the 19th of June. We would also really appreciate any feedback and comments you have about our work so far and will be very happy to discuss this further with you via email / Skype / phone etc. You can also leave comments at the online Demo site listed below.
 
For a quick orientation here is a summary of the Clipper toolkit from our online brochure:
 
“Clipper is a free open-source web application enabling researchers to create and share virtual-clips without altering the original media 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).”
 
Here are some web links that provide more information about the project:
