Forbidden partners with Brightcove

10th Feb, 2010

Forbidden Technologies today announced that it has partnered with Brightcove, the leading online video platform. The partnership will enable Forbidden Technologies to integrate FORscene, the Company’s Cloud-based video editing platform, into the Brightcove platform, enabling organizations to tap into the full suite of video publishing and distribution capabilities from Brightcove and video editing features from Forbidden.

FORscene enables video, audio and still images to be uploaded into the Cloud from either a PC or Mac and includes frame-accurate logging and editing tools. The simple to learn, yet powerful, platform gives users the benefits of Cloud computing. Searchable metadata enables targeted advertising – published content is directed automatically as H.264 to the Brightcove platform for multi-resolution compression and hosting in the user’s channel.

Metadata added in FORscene can be published with the video. This material can be used to direct targeted advertising throughout the video. By increasing the accuracy of targeted advertising, this provides added value to video content.

Cameron Church, Technical Channel Director of EMEA, Brightcove said:

“We are always looking to bolster our Brightcove Alliance partner program with value-added technology and services that complement the Brightcove platform. FORscene will give our users the tools to create engaging video content that can be easily distributed through the Cloud”.

Pete Burns, Project Manager at Forbidden Technologies said:

“The world of Cloud computing is rapidly growing with the Cloud now providing centralised productivity tools. We are pleased to partner with Brightcove, as the unique combination of FORscene and Brightcove will help to bring online video monetization to a new level”.

Any video camera will work, even your IPhone

Pictures will be taken at the most inopportune moments, usually with a mouthful of food. Now, more than ever people will be videotaping the parties, gatherings and outings. Let’s face, it all you really need now is a smartphone. I do it all the time. Of course not everyone appreciates it, but they have all come to expect it. After all I am the one with the background in film and television production in the family. It’s a natural instinct for me to try and catch everything on video.
For those of you who like to celebrate, communicate and keep memories, you know you will be shooting video…so, let’s share. I want to see what you can do with your video and FORscene. Simply shoot what you were going to shoot anyway; log on to our website at www.formidabletechnologies.com; click on the “Try It For Free” button; and you are on your way. You can edit, caption, add effects and get the whole family involved. When you have completed your masterpiece extraordinaire you can make an MPEG and send it to everyone you want to share it with… but don’t forget to share it with us and upload it to our YouTube Channel.  We can all have some fun seeing each other’s work.
If the Holidays don’t seem video worthy, try doing a book review, a restaurant review or an event review. First time user Laurinda chose to do a movie review…

“I, a VERY inexperienced editor, managed to shoot (via webcam) upload, edit and get it up on youtube. It was relatively easy. I didn’t even have to read any instructions. And it was fun!!” My DIY Attempt

Let’s see what you can do…
And Happy Holidays from all of us at Formidable Technologies!
