"Popcorn Maker, a tool for enhancing and remixing Web video from Mozilla, holds a lot of potential for educators, according to Linda W. Braun. The library consultant and educator, who created an earlier tutorial on make-your-own infographics, takes the free, browser-based application for a spin in the following screencast."

Beth Dichter's insight:

If you have wanted to learn how to use Popcorn Maker check out this video tutorial. Learn how to use the drag and drop, insert text, images, Google maps and more. Final projects may be shared (that does require that you create a log-in) and embedded in web pages. Braun's final comment is "“For school and public librarians, teachers, and parents who work with kids and teens, there are a lot of possibilities."

Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos

Popcorn Maker: A Dead-Simple Drag-and-Drop App For Remixing Web Videos | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
About a year ago, I wrote about an "HTML5 media framework" called Popcorn.js that let filmmakers build online interactivity right into their web videos. The trouble was that you needed to be (or know or hire) a coding ninja in order to use it.

The article goeson to state that Popcorn Maker, put out by the Mozilla Foundation, is the "Final Cut Pro of online interactive video -- a pofessional-grade tool for creating world-class multimedia experieces from scratch -- Popcorn Maker is more like iMovie." 

To use it you have to grab online media (think YouTube and Vimeo for video, and SoundCloud for audio) and then use the interactive widgets available. Have fun experimenting!
