"Log it for me", "Tag it for me" - give us video and we give you metadata

One of the killer features we've been working on at Aframe is for people who are working on film or TV projects where there's just far too much media being produced to be able to make sense of it in any reasonable amount of time. All productions employ loggers to add metadata to the media as it is produced. Unfortunately there's no way for a computer programme to 'watch' a piece of video and tell you what it contains. It's a human job, particularly when it comes to adding metadata about plot-lines, 'good shot / bad shot' and anything emotional. Over the last year we've built a very slick tagging and logging service for anyone who has a lot of video and just wants it logged or annotated so they can search their video by text and use it in the edit.
