* Package name : advene Version : 3.13 Upstream Author : Olivier Aubert <cont...@olivieraubert.net> * URL : https://www.advene.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : Annotate Digital Videos, Exchange on the NEt The cross-platform Advene application allows users to easily create comments and analyses of video documents, through the definition of time-aligned annotations and their mobilisation into automatically-generated or user-written comment views (HTML documents). Annotations can also be used to modify the rendition of the audiovisual document, thus providing virtual montage, captioning, navigation... capabilities. Users can exchange their comments/analyses in the form of Advene packages, independently from the video itself. The Advene (Annotate Digital Videos, Exchange on the NEt) project is aimed towards communities exchanging discourses (analysis, studies) about audiovisual documents (e.g. movies) in DVD format. This requires that audiovisual content and hypertext facilities be integrated, thanks to annotations providing explicit structures on audiovisual streams, upon which hypervideo documents can be engineered. Advene[1] is a video annotation software (GPL), developed with python, Gtk and Gstreamer. It was present in older Debian releases [2], but got removed in 2016 due to major migrations (python2->python3, Gtk2->Gtk3, Gstreamer0.10->Gstreamer1.0). Since then, the application has been updated and is now in good shape to be reintroduced into Debian. The updated Debian package[3], migrated from cdbs to dh_python, has been used/tested for at least 3 years (distributed through a private repository[4]). It was previously maintained under the Multimedia Team umbrella, but I was hinted that the Python team may be more appropriate. I joined the Python team, but found no DD yet there to sponsor the package. Happy hacking!
