IFrame code version:

I have TONS of video scattered around, and I need a way to easier recontextualize them, make new playlists, and so on. The comment by Rupert here spurred me on, and I realize that before I make tons of New material, I just want to be able to shuffle the media easily. Without the ability to shuffle it, tweak it, use some video I took on one occassion together with video from another occassion - - the whole point of my taking all this footage is lost. To me, videoblogging is not just media made for the current. I might ask some important question or show something important in 2005, and in 2009 I might remember the discussion, or the footage, and then I would like to return to it, and recontextualize it (a la text/recontext) maybe?

Earlier, I would use del.icio.us as a way to contextualize footage without having to post it in a blog post with a subject-line and all. Here is one example (note: some of the links are outdated, but you get the point, for instance I would use a tag like “animation”, and then later on I could draw upon those resources) - but alas, i never fully developed this system, and I didnt get to look for other ways to do this.

Brightcove is Very neat. Setting up the player takes a bit of time and is clunky, but I like all the features that are included.

I will definitely play some more with Brightcove Studio, then I will test out Blip.tv’s system further, and compare the two, maybe by a screencast. I should definitely explore the opportunities. Enogh a href-code in html in the post at least.
