I had never even considered using my profile page for storing anything more sophisticated than a pinglist. Your suggestion might go quite a ways toward overcoming some of the deficiencies of FR as a serious workspace...

Thank you! [or... "ThanQ!"] '-)

Right now, re setting us up to analyze the Trump "Asia" video, I have:

1. Captured the video with "Screenflow" capture and editing software

2. Gone through it frame-by-frame several times, and have captured & numbered single frame still images, each representative of one pf the 32 scenes.

3. Created a spreadsheet to organize the captured frames for analysis

4. Created sample "Thumbnail" images of selected frames for testing

5. Created a HTML table to be populated with all the thumbnails

6. Made the thumbnails numbered & clickable so that the full captured images (on my domain's server) can be accessed for analysis and discussion.

7. Am experimenting with thumbnail size to optimize the thumbnail table.

8. I can already see that having the frames laid out in matrix form helps in discerning linkages between multiple scenes.

9. I've also converted a sample of the spreadsheet to HTML to show the organization scheme... (I believe the spreadsheet [when expanded] will be useful for documenting and comparing diverse FReepers' observations & thoughts...)

I don't expect us to make any [more] earth-shaking discoveries in this little video -- but, you never know what will turn up, when you apply lots of brains and eyeballs to a subject.

OTOH, I do hope that folks will get a taste of how intel is extracted by observation -- and experience how the observations made by a diverse group are usually much richer than the observations by a single individual...

"You have more than you know!" ...Q

G'nite, all! '-)

Sounds fantastic. And worthy a thread of its own as well as on your profile page. Please let us know when you put it up.

I am very excited about this!

Ok, folks here's a first look at my spreadsheet/database that I'm using to organize the still images and their thumbnails.

My hope is that we can have discussions like

"#s 9, 16 & 17 are in SK. [flags] Does SK also use American Chinook helicopters (#8)?"

Notice that I still have a couple of filenames to assign bcause I have to go back and look at similar frames. Once I have the filenames & thumbnail fienames, I can focus on creating and uploading those files to my domainserver -- to make them available for display on FR (via the thumbnail array table...)

I'll be back with a couple of updates, or so -- before I start the new thread...

FRegards -- and..."Patience, Please"... '-)
