Mozilla launched popcorn.js

<i>plug</i> I'm also working on a video annotating web app. I've followed popcorn.js for a while and was never happy with their direction. I've focused more on having users generate textual comments, timelined to the video. You can demo it at<p><a href="http://www.thevaldmans.com/quip" rel="nofollow">http://www.thevaldmans.com/quip</a><p>when the app is more fully featured and less buggy I'll submit it to hackernews. If you are interested in following the progress, email me (dave@math.ucsb.edu). Thanks!

Why dont't they have their own video use popcorn instead of showing a plain-jane video about how popcorn works in a practical context.<p>Bad marketing imho.

Still did not understand what good it is for. To put tweets and google map on a page?

Can someone explain more about butter.js? On the project page there is no README.<p>PS: Popcorn looks really good!

This is a great library for doing product demos. Instead of having a video where someone clicks around your app, just create a voice over and have it actually click the links, drag the items, submit forms, etc. Especially awesome if your app is heavy on javascript (like a GWT application)

Here's another example of Popcorn in action. It's used on the people's choice awards website to bring in celebrity content from Freebase synchronized to when the announcers mention them: <a href="http://search.peopleschoice.com/v/26948149/bill-paxton-presents-the-nominees-for-the-22nd-annual-favorite-actress-in-a-motion-picture-people-s-choice-award.htm" rel="nofollow">http://search.peopleschoice.com/v/26948149/bill-paxton-prese...</a>

The two examples i've seen is pretty good. But I find it extremly annoying when I have to look at two things. You kind of have to pause..<p>Good to have. But for me not very practical. I think I have to rewatch the video to look at the comments/infos most of the time.

I had no idea how far HTML5 multimedia support had progressed until I saw this post. Nice find!

mozilla is upto awesome stuff again!
