I have been on the lookout for an inexpensive and easy to use tool for commenting video. I think there would be a number of applications in which such a tool would be useful. For example, preservice teachers might use such a tool to comment\/reflect on their own performance in teaching a practice lesson. <\/p>\n

I know that this capability exists. For example, the large PT3 video project (InTime<\/a>) hosted by the University of Northern Iowa allows the viewer to select from among multiple commentaries on the same video. I know how to edit the Quicktime text track to display HTML pages, but this does not really provide a reasonable solution for someone who is not interested in coding.<\/p>\n

I thought I located the product I was looking for when I found Microsoft Producer (see my comments on 20.6.03). Producer was intended as a PowerPoint extension. It provides an easy way to connect PowerPoint slides with specific locations within a video and publish the combination for web presentation (or local viewing using a browser). However, Producer operates only within the Windows XP environment and the product generated can only be viewed using IE for Windows. For you Windows types, this is a good solution.<\/p>\n

I have just encountered something new. It has limitations, but it is both free and cross platform. Video Paper Builder<\/a> is a product developed by the Concord Consortium with support from NSF. It is a tool for integrating video, images, and text and produces a product for the web. A screen capture of the display from my experimentation is provided below.<\/p>\n

\"Video<\/p>\n

This product has some quirks. You can insert buttons in text to jump to a point in the video and you can set points in the video to display an image, but you cannot directly get the video to trigger the display of a specific text segment (unless I am missing something). What the system does is reveal a strange little symbol in the upper left-hand corner of the video (see the screen image) that when clicked will display the text. If you enjoy exploring experimental products, give this one a try. I think this group is moving in the right direction, but may be one version away from a tool that will be widely adopted.<\/p>\n
