Internet troubles during live TV interviews #television #videocall

Thu, 08 Jul 2021 16:17:00 +0000

Can you hear me, I can't hear you

That is what we have been hearing on every television interviews now since everyone is attending interviews remotely using Internet video calls.

Internet network connectivity troubles are a huge pain to these TV channels as not all participants have fast, stable Internet plan and are genuinely annoying to the audience.

Surely this is a need-gap right?

Automatic video to podcast conversion #podcast #video

Fri, 03 Jan 2020 13:10:00 +0000

I like to listen to podcasts more than I like to watch videos on Youtube. Some videos such as Interviews, News can be converted to podcasts as usually there is not much value in the video of such content; but the conversion needs to be done manually by extracting audio from the video.

I would like to have a podcast app which can also take in video links (such as Youtube, Vimeo etc.) and convert them to audio (i.e. podcasts) automatically.

Make entry level webcam better #webcam #video

Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:27:00 +0000

Now that many are working from home, webcams are of demand and often unavailable. Even when available, they are the same ones from a decade ago.

e.g. Logitech C270 debuted 10 years back, I even had one which I gave it to someone about 6 years ago as I didn't use it much at that time. Guess what, I had to buy the same webcam again now for 40 USD!

Which other tech from a decade ago are we still buying as it is? I can't believe entry level webcams hasn't gotten better when the phone cameras on even entry level smartphone gets better every 6 months.

What is happening with the webcams?

Simple Video editor for beginner youtubers #video #editing

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 21:46:00 +0000

We all know video editing is hard. After talking to some people, in order to create a 4-5 minute high quality video can take 4-7 hours. Which discourages a lot of people.

I want to cut down that time ten-fold.

In other words, create a video editor that will help you all the way throughout your editing workflow - save time, create HQ videos, see your subscriber count grow.

Reliable, uninterrupted video conferencing #videoconferencing #Internet

Fri, 24 Apr 2020 02:50:00 +0000

Video conferencing has been in existence for over 50 years and yet it's still nearly impossible to have an uninterrupted, reliable session with multiple participants from around the world.

Don't believe me? Look at what the world's most premiere organisation tasked with preventing the next World War is facing.

It's easy to delegate the cause to the quality of the Internet itself being not equal in different parts of the world, but that's not the only problem to the issues in video conferencing. The problems range from technical to behavioural.

Technical problems include, but not limited to -

Internet QoS, latency, connectivity.
Video/Audio encoding and decoding.
Noise reduction.
Echo suppression and cancellation.
Hardware and Software incompatibilities.

Behavioural problems include, but not limited to -

Forgetting camera/mic is ON/OFF.
Obstructing the camera/mic.

There's no dearth of video conferencing tools trying to solve some these problems, but since not all of these are solved by a single system; there's still a huge need gap.

Identifying myself from random Internet videos #video #Internet

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 13:24:00 +0000

I was checking out a random Youtube video the other day and for a pleasant surprise I was there in it. It was tourist video and I was standing outside a shop when I was captured in the video. I thought it would be nice for other strangers in the video to identify themselves in the video as well.

Then I thought, wouldn't it be cool if anyone can identify themselves in the random Internet video when they want to. I searched for such solution but couldn't find any.

Since, it's common nowadays for anyone to shoot a video and upload it to the Internet; I think it would be great if there is a tool for identifying ourself in those videos.

On premise video indexing with visual data #analytics #video

Thu, 12 Dec 2019 06:08:00 +0000

Current video indexing are mostly done by converting 'speech-to-text' and then indexing it. This is mostly done to save on compute resources and that algorithms to index video with visual data are not as stable as that of text.

e.g. Searching for a video for an old man with red shoes wouldn't yield results unless there was an audio in the video describing it when using speech-to-text indexing.

It is said that even Youtube hasn't indexed all its video by visual data due to sheer number of videos. There APIs available like that from Microsoft which claim to enable video indexing with visual meta data, but they are not a on-premise solution and so using those might rake up bills if the number of videos are large.

There is a need gap for on-premise video indexing technology.

At which point in the video, users pressed like #analytics #video

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 05:24:00 +0000

'Likes' are the current social currency and are integral part of the online video hosting sites like Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook etc. We can see the number of likes on the video, but we don't know at which point in the video users pressed the like button.

If the user likes are represented as some form of distribution graph overlaid at the bottom of the videos, we can skip to that part of the video directly if needed i.e. skipping to the good part of the video instantaneously.

Thinking about this, skipping to the good part of the video might be exactly the reason why the video hosting sites don't provide this feature as it could be used to skip Ads; then again Ads could be inserted right at the most liked segment of the video nor that I favour such practices or that it is not already happening.

But, this might further add up to the problem of limited attention, instant gratification as people might just watch only the most liked part.

There is a need gap for enabling public 'Like' analytics for videos by the video hosting sites. If you agree with this need gap, do share your opinion and let the video hosting sites listen to you.

TikTok for esports/gaming content #streaming #video

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 06:08:00 +0000

Hello everyone, my name is Sergey! As long as I have known myself, I have always been fond of esports, I watch major tournaments, I follow some players and I also play myself. I really liked the format of TikTok, short clips about people's lives or funny moments, but I didn't feel comfortable there, I was missing something, namely the esports/gaming content that I wanted to watch and watch every day. 1 points posted by gaserd
