Media Manipulation

Using web-accessible tools to design and edit digital media files.

Web-shared media invites web-based tools to produce and refine the files to be shared. Web tools are available for editing photographs (splashup, fotoflexer). Others can allow the creation and sharing of comic strips (toondoo) and for simple animated images for webpages (gifup). Similar editing can be applied to sound files (soundjunction, Jamglue). Moreover, images or videoclips can be annotated with sound – or with visual notes (voicethread). Collections of images can be effortlessly constructed into sequential video clips (animoto) or broadcast as TV-style video (makeinternettv). More elaborate mixing of visual digital material into montages or 'mashups' is also supported (popfly). Sections of web pages themselves can be selected and pasted into such montages (kwout).


Assignment:

Try out one of the tools listed above and share what you created on your blog or wiki!
