Media anotation, referencing

• Anvil

  • It offers multi-layered annotation based on a user-defined coding scheme. During coding the user can see color-coded elements on multiple tracks in time-alignment. Some special features are cross-level links, non-temporal objects, timepoint tracks, coding agreement analysis, 3D viewing of motion capture data and a project tool for managing whole corpora of annotation files. Originally developed for gesture research in 2000, ANVIL is now being used in many research areas including human-computer interaction, linguistics, ethology, anthropology, psychotherapy, embodied agents, computer animation and oceanography.

  • Lignes de Temps
    • The Lignes de Temps software takes advantage of the analysis and synthesis possibilities offered by digital media. Inspired by the « timelines » commonly used on digital editing benches, Lignes de Temps offers a graphic representation of a film, revealing from the outset, and in extenso, its cuttings. Lignes de Temps offers in this a new access to the film, substituting for the logic of constrained scrolling that constitutes the experience of any movie viewer, and for the purposes of analysis, the « mapping » of a temporal object. Also, by selecting a segment of a timeline, the user has direct access to the corresponding clip or sequence in the movie, a sequence that can be described and analyzed by textual, audio, video, or documented by images or internet links.
