Description:
A tool for annotating, indexing and analyzing videotapes ad other time-based data. Small and compact. Runs on a Macintosh computer, including Powerbook. What is typed is time-stamped, using the same time-base as that of the video being recorded/played. These typed annotations can then be used in analysis, indexing, or annotating the tape.
Form:
As was noted in the description, Timelines runs on a Macintosh and was coded using LISP. The software speaks to all control-L devices.
Strengths:
The system works and is usable. It is built upon commercially available components.
Caveats:
There are few. It would have to be rewritten in more robust code, but it is ready for transfer.
Other:
The manually operated version is in late beta testing. Documentation is inadequate at the moment. Work is ongoing.
