{site.name}

looks, feels and works more like a desktop application than like a usual website. It has a menu on top that shows most of the site's functionality, including keyboard shortcuts. Most other interface elements are resizable, or can be collapsed and expanded, dialogs can be moved around, and any list of {itemName.plural} or clips can be sorted in different ways. {site.name} remembers these settings — the next time you visit the site, everything will be just as you left it.

List Views

with Clips	A list of icons with clips
as Clips	A grid of video clips that match your current query

Item Views

Info	Basic information about the {itemName.singular}
Player	A video player
Editor	An editor to add time-based annotations
Timeline	A small video player that moves on a large timeline
Clips	A grid of all clips of the current {itemName.singular}
Map	A map with all places that appear in the current {itemName.singular}
Calendar	A calendar with all events that appear in the current {itemName.singular}

A timeline is a visual signature of a {itemName.singular}. It provides an instant overview of what is happening in a {itemName.singular}, and can be used for navigation. You can switch between different types of timelines: anti-alias (average colors), slit-scan (see below), keyframes (full frames) and waveform (audio).

Some views don't show lists of {itemName.plural}, but lists of video clips — for example clips matching your query, or related to a specific location on a map. These clips can be sorted by various properties (like saturation, see below), and each clip is a video player. The video will load once you've selected it, and you can then simply click to play. If you doubleclick, you'll get to the {itemName.singular} itself, and its video player will be at the very position of the clip.

Any list of {itemName.plural}, just like every individual {itemName.singular}, can be displayed as a map. This map shows all places that appear in annotations, and selecting a place will display a list of all matching clips.

Calendars work just like maps (you can pan or zoom in and out), but they don't show places on a world map, but historic events on a timeline. Selecting an event will display a list of matching clips.

A list is simply a list of {itemName.plural}, and you can create as many lists as you want. These lists behave like folders — you can add {itemName.plural} to them, either via drag & drop or via copy & paste, and you can also remove any item from a list.

Smart lists, on the other hand, are saved searches (like "all {itemName.plural} longer than one hour" or "all French {itemName.plural} from the 1960s"), and they will update dynamically.

All personal lists you create are initially private, but you can share them by making them public, so that other users can find and browse them, and add them to their favorites. Your own favorite lists are initially empty, but if you click on "Manage Favorite Lists", you will see all public lists, and you can add the ones you like to your favorites.

Finally, there are featured lists, which are selected public lists, picked by {site.name}.

In the editor view, you can add and edit time-based annotations. Just set an in point and an out point, and pick one of the different types of annotations to add.
