Annotation helps you get your ducks in sequence
Have you ever said to yourself, "Gosh, I have all this animal observation DV footage, but no way to log the behaviors?" OK, maybe not. How about "Wow, I'm running this focus group/sleep study/usability project and I'd love to tag my tapes with timecoded subject actions?" Either way, Annotation 1.0 might help.This app from cleverly-named vendor SaySoSoft is the first commercial release of a tool previously deployed in academic settings. You can 'score' your rich media content with a timeline of events or observations, then play back the event timeline like a player piano. The timeline is searchable or exportable as CSV for further statistical analysis.
There's a demo download available and the full package will set you back $299.

That's awesome. I did "Gosling Week 2006" this past spring, and this app would be perfect for cataloging videos. I think I'll download the trial when the goslings hatch.
The switch to mac is just getting better and better.

This looks like a great app for doing sports training.
An entire match could be recorded, then individual videos could be quickly created for each of the players.

But does it do enough to be worth $299? Seems a bit basic for that - maybe $99?
