Abstract :
Filmstrips and video skims are two presentation schemes for abstracting information in a digital video segment. Filmstrips present information all at once in a static form, while video skims are played and disclose information temporally. The paper discusses the evolution of the filmstrip and skim interfaces in the Informedia Digital Video Library. Filmstrips are commonly deployed as interfaces for video and image libraries, but we found initial Informedia filmstrips and skims received little use. We discuss the interface considerations motivating the redesign of filmstrips and skims to adjust their presentations dynamically based on user context and preference
