The SUNY Learning Network uses FORscene to quickly and easily develop in-house produced video for our work with SUNY faculty and instructional designers:
- SLN Training Videos: we can record and produce high impact and value videos from our f2f training without a lot of investment of time, professional video editing skill, and money, making short-shelf-life SLN training videos a viable deliverable to our SLN communities. The ability to chapterize videos makes them even more useful as short just-in-time objects.
- Special Event Objects: recordings of guest speakers, events, meetings, and annual conference presentations for internal and public audiences.

Directors Guild of Canada (DGC)
Software Symposium
FORscene provided on-the-spot full coverage of the DGC Symposium, SOFTWARE SYMPOSIUM – Digital Tools for the Modern Film Worker with content provider Radar Media Company.
Producer Kim Gertler and his team video-taped sessions, interviewed presenters, talked to attendees and uploaded the footage from cameras and mobile phones immediately into FORscene on-site. Editors packaged the video throughout the day to produce a five-minute video production each day’s events. The videos were later posted on the DGC website to promote the event to next year’s attendees. |

Rob Kelly, Managing Director
“Clients can have their footage uploaded in real time, and have secure access to their material from anywhere in the world, whenever they need to. Simultaneously capturing into our shared storage for in-house off-line editing or on-line finishing means the economies of scale achieved by running FORscene as a networked system throughout both our premises makes this a very attractive solution." |

New Media Documentary Project – Evolving Stories
“Ryerson University is innovatively using the web-based video editing platform, FORscene to assist in a collaborative editing process of video gathered for The Evolving Stories Project, an academic research endeavour produced by Lila Pine, School of Image Arts, New Media Faculty at Ryerson University".
“I am travelling to various nations in Africa and the Americas to gather stories from First Nations Peoples. With FORscene I can film the stories, upload the footage into our Ryerson Account and have it logged, tracked and reviewed as I go along. My First Nations partners and I can collaborate with the Evolving Stories team in Toronto immediately. All we need is access to the internet,” said Pine. |

Film Studies
FORscene offers many instructional benefits. It allows instructors to view students’ work in progress in a very quick and easy manner on various platforms – Mac, Windows or Linux. Coordinator of Film Studies, James Warrack called FORscene a timesaver. He was able to “add comments on individual clips or segments of video and/or audio providing suggestions, tips or corrections.” In particular, he liked being able to easily project footage for peer critiques, lectures or instructional purposes. |
Save the Children
“Broadcasters View Save The Children Footage Over The Web” headlines Regional Film and Video.

Cayuga Community College
(State University of New York)
Cayuga Community College has introduced the first On-line Video Production course. “This course was virtually impossible to do on-line until the advent of FORscene,” says Steve Keeler. “Without FORscene we could never instruct students in the techniques of professional video production via distance learning.”
Students learn the art of editing using the only time-code accurate and frame accurate edit suite over the internet – all they need is a web browser on any computer – from any location. “We can now walk students through the entire process of editing from shooting, uploading, logging, reviewing, collaboration, assembly editing and into modern video publishing to a cross-platform on the web, ipod or mobile.”
The on-line course is managed through the SUNY Learning Network in combination with a FORscene account per student. The professor is able to access each student’s password-protected account to review video production assignments, comment, chat and collaborate with student producers. |
University of Guelph
Organization and Development of an Anesthesia Video Library
FORscene enabled the exact cataloguing of footage frame-by-frame for use by faculty for teaching. “Videos are an ideal teaching tool that provides an audience with real live situations that enhance learning while minimizing the use of animals and reinforcing learning either initially carried out on live animals or when live animals are observed after studying videos,” according to according to team lead D. Dyson of the Anesthesia Section who was instrumental in adopting FORscene.
“The logged video within FORscene provides a google-like search for quick access to frame-accurate and time-code accurate footage. Authorized faculty and students can now view, comment, collaborate, chat, edit and repurpose video to achieve a variety of learning objectives.” |

With a minimum high speed connection we can get our messages out to hundreds and thousands of people on the web, a cell phone or iPod,” says Bob Adams. “The beauty of FORscene is that it allows us to tailor our messages for distinct communities in their preferred medium. It’s leading edge, state-of-the art technology that is instinctive to use.” |
