Korsakow 5 does not currently do this. When the film is watched to the end, it will show the end screen asking if the user wants to restart from the beginning.

However we will consider this feature for a future release, and we do favour features from version 3.

Thanks for your feedback.

Ih the old version of Korsakow you could set it to restart if left idle for a while.

Can you do this with with version 5.0.4?

Cheers

If you are asking about the possibilities of adding SNU's to a film that's already been published without having to re-upload the entire thing, the short answer is that in general its complicated as changes in one place can affect others due to the linked nature of a k-film.

However if all you have done is added some media, created SNU's, and perhaps changed(add/remove) some keywords, you can try the following:

• Re export the film locally. This is why it is usually a good idea to keep the most recent export on your harddrive somewhere since you can just skip all the previously exported media.
• upload and replace the file data/project.xm
• upload and replace the new media files, located in data/video, data/sound, data/images, data/thumbnails. They should still have their original filenames, perhaps with a different extension.

Note that creating, deleting and modifying interfaces potentially affects all exported media.

This is a pretty interesting idea, and something I have given some though to in the past. It is especially interesting since these services already allow the tagging/keywording of media.

These are certainly interesting indeas. Thank you for your feedback, we'll definitely add these to the list of considerations at our next review.

Cheers,

Where do people host there Korsakow projects?

Do I need to buy dedicated streaming services such as http://www.streamingvideoprovi.....arges.html

My test project is on my http server and kind of works: http://www.mutinymedia.co.uk/S.....l#/?snu=94

Thanks very much for sharing your work. It's certainly an intriguing k-film - not sure I've ever seen a nonlinear 'making of' doc before. Also the first I've seen to make extensive use of interface widgets. Congrats!

Matt

Has anybody triggered the buttons in a K-film by using touchscreen or other kinds of buttons, with and without wires?

I'm a student doing my MA in documentary film at the London College of Communications, I had the great pleasure of finding myself at Florian's presentation at the Documentary now! conference at Birkbeck earlier this year. 

Inspired by his work I decided to use the system for a 'behind the scenes' documentary for 'The Rocket Dolls' rock band as they worked on their first music promo video.

The fruits of this experimental labour can be found here

I hope you enjoy it, those of you how have a mind to view, I certainly enjoyed using the system and trying to think about my work in a non-linear way.

We've been working on a fix the problem you reported. After some internal testing it seems to work, but we would greatly appreciate it if you (or your student) could take a moment to try this release out and let us know if it fixes the problem.

We would also be very happy to recieve your report,  and I would like to thank you for taking the time to compile this information.

The candidate release is available at

Windows: http://korsakow.net/releases/k.....-win32.zip

Mac: http://korsakow.net/releases/k.....12-osx.zip

Here is an idea of the changes in this update to 5.0.4

• Can press Command+Delete to delete resources (this should be familiar to Mac users. Windows users can use CTRL+backspace, though it is not a standard shortcut on Windows)
• Some issues with subtitles have been addressed.
• Fixed a problem where exporting to an external drive wouldn't work
• Fixed a problem where exporting h264 encoded media on Windows wouldn't work
• Updated h264 export quality
  • H264 Low is now 400k/s (roughly the same as previously)
  • H264 Medium is now 700k/s (much higher than previously)
  • H264 High is now 1700k/s (much much higher than previously)
  •  
  • These settings are hopefully now similar to youtube's 360,480,720p settings.

Of course anyone reading this is welcome to try out the prerelease (and let us know your results), but I would advise not to replace your current version with this and to back up any projects you test using this version as it is still just a release candidate.

Dave

yes, my student could export and view successfully on Windows Vista when she used video clips prepared with MPEG-4 compression. I posted the test she sent:

Also, I had my students watch all peers' films and submit bug reports along with their system/browser info. I'd be happy to compile those and send along, if you think it would be useful.

Hi Scott, Nice to hear from you and glad you're enjoying the new features. Also very excited to see that your students have been making some interesting k-films! For anyone wanting to follow Scott's link, the correct URL is http://www.anthropologyandfilm.....neardeath/

Cheers, Matt

Thanks, Matt

Wonderful work on the software, as always.   Nice catch on the typo.

Cheers, Matt

Thanks for your help on this. I believe there may be an issue with H264 video on windows at the moment. That is, with exporting video already in H264 in some cases fails. Can you try preparing your video using another codec (MPEG-4, for example) and letting me know?

Thanks

Dave
