At the #altc Scotland meeting in June, Joe Wilson used a video he created using the Lumen 5 service. It was a really nice addition to his presentation and I had a wee play with it, but didn’t really do much more. Earlier in the week , my colleague Marion Kelt mentioned that she had used it to create a post for the OEPS project so I went back and had another look. I also signed up for their beta automated video service, called “smare templates” and the other day I got an automagically created video based on one of my blog posts.
It was quite interesting to see what the algorithms selected from the post. They kind of got some the good bits, but missed a bit of the context. Maybe this is down to my own incoherence writing style. I suspect many of my posts are a bit illogical and I know am guilty of not proof reading enough. Mainly that’s because I want to get things published quickly.
