How Does is Work?
A rich and intuitive user interface is provided, using the same advanced technology that companies like Google use for their own web applications. Just as in the desktop application, users can browse the database by catalog or perform queries to find clips of interest. You can also define smart folders, so users can quickly find all clips that are assigned to a particular person or that were uploaded in the past 24 hours for example.
A list of matching clips and their thumbnails is shown. Select a clip to view its details and play the video (assuming a suitable web proxy has been created). If you have permission you can edit the clip, by adding log notes, changing the status, or marking IN and OUT points to create event markers highlighting portions of the video.
