Video & Media Extension for TikiWiki

The goal of this project is to enable videos to be edited within a TikiWiki page, similar to the text, by multiple collaborators. Editors can add voiceovers, insert clips, cut-and-paste and rearrange clips, add subtitles/other effects. This project will make use of Kaltura platform.

Kaltura can be used as platform for collaborative video editing which allows users to edit videos within a tiki-wiki page.

Kaltura TikiWiki Collaborative Video Integration is a Google Summer of Code 2009 GSOC created by Nagendra Koilada and mentored by Matthew Bickerton.

Functionality required for the integration

• Adding Videos: The media-wiki extension allows users to upload video files and configure the player properties like size, alignment. It allows us embed a within the wiki page. We require developing similar extension for tiki-wiki so that users can upload videos from their computers or kaltura network site like YouTube, MySpace etc and embed them in their tiki-wiki page.
• Remix Videos: Kaltura’s wiki extension allows for collaborative editing of videos. The users can add voiceovers, insert clips, cut-and-paste and rearrange clips, add subtitles/other effects and share their videos. I t also maintains th history, credits and versioning of the videos. We require integrating this feature into tiki-wiki.
• User Access Control: Kaltura’s Drupal module has this feature. We can set user permissions to view, edit videos. A similar extension for tiki-wiki need to be built, to implement.
• Admin Panel: An admin panel can be provided to configure and set up kaltura in tiki-wiki similar to one provided in Drupal modeule.
  These features will be implemented using Kaltura’s Sofware Development Kit referring the existing modules.
• Gallery Views: We can have modules to show a gallery of all uploaded videos with different filters like Category, Most Recently Viewed, Most Popular, Highly rated etc.
