Working Method

For those who may be interested in how I go about adding and making content for fragments. After I built the first version it is easy to keep adding new content. In this way I’m not treating the Korsakow System as a tool for making a single whole work, but more like a blog project where material is continually being added. To do this I do the usual shooting and editing, compress it down to a pretty high quality h.264 QT file, make a thumbnail graphic, and then add the thumbnail and the video to the Korsakow project. Add keywords to define the clip, keywords that the clip should search for, write any text I want associated with the clip, save the project and export. Korsakow is pretty smart when it comes to export so you have the option of only having to encode/transcode new material, so by choosing this it only transcode the new added video. Then I can use a FTP client that has synchronisation to just sync the local copy of the files to the server, and since it is sycning it only uploads the new material. This makes things pretty fast, and so it is viable to use for ongoing projects.
