ReadyTalk provides audio- and web-conferencing services to teams that need to
meet remotely. Founded in 2000, ReadyTalk currently has more than 100 employees
with a median age of 29. Since ReadyTalk is a relatively young company in terms
of both their existence and work environment, they are interested in exploring
new technologies that extend their current services.
One of these new technologies is a web-based video editor. Current web-based
video editors often depend on browser plugins such as Flash. These editors are
also often feature-rich, which makes them difficult to use for the average user.
ReadyTalk was interested in exploring the implementation of a plugin-free,
easy-to-use, web-based video editor.
ReadyTalk's solution comes in the form of Olive, an OnLIne Video Editor.
Olive uses the latest web technologies, most notably the HTML5 <video>
tag, to provide a clean, easy-to-use video-editing interface. The <video>
tag allows videos to be played in the browser without the use of external
plugins. Users are able to upload videos to Olive, edit their videos using
commands such as "Split" and "Combine", and download the edited video to their
computer. Olive makes use of services such as
Zencoder,
Amazon Simple Storage Service,
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and
FFmpeg.
