Expanding on Video Formats

[Professor Fate]

I'm wondering if somebody with java knowledge will be able answer my
question.


Would it be within the realms of possibility to create a web-based
video editing suite? (Which media format -- Windows, Quicktime, etc. --
might best lend itself to such a task?)

Also, I imagine that this application may require a desaturation
process to bring down the memory size for the raw footage.


I don't know enough about java programming to even guess about this;
but with the current prevalence of digital editing software, an online
version has convenience written all over it.


Thanks,

Short and simple answer: no. And the answer has nothing to do with
Java, the amounts of data are simply WAY too high.

Thanks. At least now I'm certain that it hasn't yet been tried. Maybe
in a few years it will be possible, who knows?

Very unlikely, since video resolutions (i.e. data volume) is going
to grow as well, not just network bandwidth.

Besides, I really don't see the advantage.

It could be useful to assist in an online edit job without actually
having a program yourself.

Still, if you need to work with large numbers of takes, it might help
to have footage in a lower sized format.
