The presentation will outline features and functionality that the Popcorn.js library can provide to users and how the library allows film makers to better showcase their videos. Popcorn.js makes it possible to have the video drive the content of a webpage. This will provide viewers with a more interactive, immersive, and content rich viewing experience. The presentation will fall right near the 1.0 release of Popcorn, which will allow for a thorough and in-depth description of the library as a whole.

The presentation will also cover the early work done on Popcorn-Maker and the new api that drives it. A live example will be shown of how non-programmers are able to easily create a popcorn driven webpage, using one of the many templates available to them. Other major aspects of Popcorn-Maker will also be outlined, such as custom templates, a mention to the final cut pro version, what this means for the web and film makers, and an example of projects already created with Popcorn-Maker. The experience with BAVC and the students that used our software their will also be mentioned.
