New introduction screencasts
In the context of the AdA project, the Cinepoetics center from Freie Universität Berlin contributed updated video tutorials (CC BY-SA license) on different aspects of Advene (original source), in addition to a PDF manual.
Advene Basics: Intro & Download
Advene Basics: Interface
This video briefly goes through the Advene interface and explains central elements such as the video player and the timeline.
Advene Basics: Setup - Package and video files
This video briefly explains how to open, create and save file packages. It also shows how to link the video file to be annotated and check the corresponding settings.
Advene Basics: Annotation types
This video explains how annotation types in Advene can be created as tracks, edited, displayed in the timeline and deleted.
Advene Basics: Automatic Video analysis
This video focuses on the possibilities of automatic video analysis in Advene, such as central cut detection, the generation of a volume waveform and a motion dynamics extractor. The import of subtitle files is also shown.
Advene Basics: Annotations
This video deals with annotations in Advene: creating, merging, deleting, moving, copying and editing them.
Advene Basics: Search and replace function
This video briefly explains and demonstrates the function used to search and replace the content of annotations in an annotation type.
Advene Basics: Enter content for annotations
This video is dedicated to annotating, i.e. how annotations can be filled with content, and shows two ways to speed up the process: Quick Edit and Quick Fill.
Advene Basics: Table View
This video introduces the ‘table view’ of Advene, that presents annotations in a tabular format.
Advene Basics: Export
This video briefly shows how to export data from Advene.
Feature-oriented screencasts
These small screencasts highlight some specific features of Advene.
Annotate with SVG graphics and overlay them over the video (2:12).
How to annotate a video with SVG graphics, and display them over the video while playing it.
Use multiple video players (1:00).
You can have more than 1 video player in Advene. The primary video remains the time reference, but additional players can be used, to display for instance a different video stream of the same event, or to visualize parts of the same movie where the exact same footage is reused (hint: look for a car in Mulholland Drive).
Quickly validate a shot segmentation (1:27).
Learn to use the dedicated view to validate a shot segmentation (or any segmentation where annotations are supposed to be adjacent).
Tutorial screencasts
Note: these screencasts were made with Advene 0.24. Some things may have changed in new releases.
Advene interface (6 min)
This video introduces you to the Advene interface. You will learn how to start Advene and then will be guided through the main functional areas with the aim to give you a feel how the annotation process is handled in Advene. You will also learn about the important concept called “view”. A view enables you to establish, manipulate and visualise annotations. You will be introduced to the “tree view”, the “time-line view” and the “transcription view” and how you can customize views in Advene. At the end you will also learn how to make most out of the user guide offered by Advene.
Advene timeline (9 min)
In this video you will learn about different ways on how to use the timeline. The timeline allows you to create and visualize annotation types as well as annotations. You will be also shown how to display, create and edit relations.
Advene video annotation (2 min)
In this video you will learn how to annotate a video using the "text editing view". You will also be shown how to transform the created text into annotations.
Using Advene views (2 min)
In this video you will learn how to read a static view as well as how to activate a dynamic view. Particular attention will be given to the influence of relations on the behaviour of dynamic views.
Creating Advene views (3 min)
In this video you will learn how to create static and dynamic views.
Advene annotation search (1 min)
In this video you will learn how to search in the annotations content.
This video provides a brief introduction and overview of the video tutorials and the download of Advene. The video tutorial is based on version 3.13.
