Hi Mason (and all!) -- Just a quick note to mention that AVP is in the process of launching a new service for providing secure (and/or public) access to audiovisual files online: aviary. Currently in development and scheduled for release in Fall 2018, aviary is the result of a collaboration between AVP and the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale University. aviary will be launched as a hosted subscription-based platform that brings enhanced search and navigation to audio and video through time-stamped transcripts, indexes, and annotations made on text and video. The aviary platform will integrate with existing online video platforms such as Vimeo, Kaltura, YouTube, and Internet Archive as well as provide the ability to upload AV if you are not using an online video platform already. Features include: Search and navigation of AV through synchronized transcripts and indexes Ability to generate and search annotations made on transcripts and/or video Granular search across organizations and collections Ability to use your existing online video platform or upload to aviary Themes for seamless integration into your own website Permissions controls to provide secure and targeted access to AV resources You can find more information here, and let us know if these features are of interest, too! https://www.weareavp.com/products/aviary/ Thanks, and all best regards! - Bert __________________________________________________________ Bertram Lyons New York | Wisconsin | Florida | Wyoming | Chile 202-430-4457 www.weareavp.com <https://www.facebook.com/WeAreAVP/> <https://twitter.com/WeAreAVP> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/732498/> On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 1:40 PM, Mason Vander Lugt <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi ARSC, over on the SAA Audio & Moving Image listserv an archivist at the > University of Colorado is looking for suggestions for a web service that > can securely host and stream audio or video.
