Forum:Video editing

Wikia and Kaltura are working on a new MediaWiki extension that allows video editing. Full details are available on Central.

Have a look at the demo here and see what you think. Are you interested in having this here on Halopedia in the future? -- Manticore    (talk)  00:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Could be cool. I'm not quite sure what the editing thing means, though. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 02:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I can gather, it allows one to add or remove images or video clips, so it's sort of an editable montage. I'd like to see some documentation before I give an opinion, though. --Coredesat 12:06, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain in detail what does it do? Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan Contribution 10:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me. I say go for it. It could actually be useful in our case ex. we could show several methods from various users on doing warthog jumps. Quil

Howto:
 * 1) Go to http://fp017.sjc.wikia-inc.com/wiki/Special:KalturaCollaborativeVideoInfo and fill in the form
 * 2) Copy a generated tag and...
 * 3) ...put it somewhere in an article
 * 4) Save/preview should show you a flash video player with two buttons at the bottom
 * 5) Click on either one to add and edit the video

 * Special:KalturaCollaborativeVideoInfo - Special:Upload
 * Kaltura: namespace - Image: namespace
 *  - [image:] tag
 * The test video doesn't seem to be working properly, but if it works, this could be a good addition, especially for articles that cover a broad range of subjects (such as those on weapons or factions). --Coredesat 17:19, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you pls. tell us more? What does it mean "video doesn't seem to be working properly"? (What do you see? What do you expect to be there? What browser+os do you use?) -- Nef (talk) 19:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Struck my comment because I was trying to use the wrong link. However, neither of the buttons on the test I created are working properly in Firefox 2.0.0.11. Browser is WinXP Media Center Edition SP2. --Coredesat 06:26, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * They dont work at all or they do actually work but not in a way you think they should work? What do you see, what do you expect? (I see Add and Edit in my Safari) -- Nef (talk) 16:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The buttons show up but do not do anything when clicked. Never mind, it works now. --Coredesat 07:29, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all the feedback so far. One of the main issues seemed to be that there wasn't much in the way of help. There is now a video tutorial and some help pages on wikieducator. There are also some Halo 3 and Star Wars examples to show how this can be used in an article. If you have any feedback, questions, or bug reports, please add those here, or send them to me by email.

 * We'll be putting this extension on Halopedia later today. Please let me or Ppiotr know if there are any problems with it. I hope you have fun creating some new content for this wiki with it. Angela (talk) 08:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
