The service of the FCCN Unit, Educast, has just released the beta version of the new HTML5 video editor. This tool now uses standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, thus replacing the previous version developed in Flash and introducing new features.
With the launch of the new video editor, it is now possible for Educast users to edit videos directly in the browser, without having to install proprietary software. On its website, Educast also highlights that this solution “offers a set of new features, in a more flexible and intuitive environment”.
In addition to the aforementioned use of standard web technologies and a new content presentation layout, the new Educast editor allows, for example, to customize the video metadata (title, subtitle, presenter, date, location), edit videos with one or two sources at the same time (video and slides) and create chapters for key moments, as well as customize branding (header image and cover image).
The start of the development of Educast’s new video editor counted on the collaboration of a group of students from the Master’s Degree in Information Systems at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. This work was part of a partnership with the institution and framed in the curricular evaluation of “development of multimedia applications” and “architecture of information systems”.
The work conclusion, implementation and final integration into the service was carried out internally by the FCCN Unit team, with the support of INCoDe.2030.
