Popcorn Maker is dead; long live Popcorn Editor

by Brion Vibber

One of the really cool ‘web maker’ projects that Mozilla sponsored in the last few years was Popcorn Maker <https://popcorn.webmaker.org/>, an in-browser video editor that could take direct video clips or videos from Youtube etc and let you remix to your heart’s content. (See Ben’s blog post from July <http://www.benmoskowitz.com/?p=1083> and Mike’s presentation on Air Mozilla <https://air.mozilla.org/mnolan/>) Obviously this capability is very attractive for the future of video on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites! Unfortunately Mozilla has to shuffle priorities, and Popcorn Maker is on the outs <https://blog.webmaker.org/product-update-for-appmaker-and-popcorn-maker>. Fortunately, there’s enough interest in the Wikimedia video world that we’re helping to pick it up! Popcorn Editor is a standalone version <https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor#readme> of the Popcorn Maker editor tool, and I’m going to be helping with integrating that into MediaWiki. We’ve got a milestone in the bug tracker <https://github.com/mozilla/popcorn-editor/milestones/Wikimedia%20proof%20of…> and everything. [image: :)] If you’re interested in helping out, we’re going to have some work sprints at WikiConference USA <http://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/2015/Main_Page> next weekend in Washington, DC. Please come and help out! -- brion
