Advene (Annotate Digital Video, Exchange on the
NEt) is aimed at providing a model and a format to
share annotations about digital video documents
(movies, courses, conferences, etc.), as well as
tools to edit and visualize the hypervideos
generated from both the annotations and the
audiovisual documents. Teachers, moviegoers, etc.
can use them to exchange multimedia comments and
analyses about video documents. The project also
aims at studying the way that communities of users
(teachers, moviegoers, students, etc.) will use
these self-publishing tools to share their
audiovisual "readings", and to envision new
editing and viewing interfaces for interactive
comment and analysis of audiovisual content.

Changes:
Along with many usability enhancements, this version offers a new virtual montage view, and many improvements in the timeline for viewing and editing/organising annotations. Text autocompletion has been generalized to the note-taking editor. The results of searches can be converted into montages or new annotations. Dynamic views editing is improved by the availability of common predefined values and the ability to activate multiple dynamic views. Importers for MPEG7 (FreeTextAnnotations), Anvil, and AnnotationGraph have been added.
