A new online video (http://www.memoryminer.com) shows some of the best ways for using MemoryMiner, a digital storytelling application for Mac OS X. Designed an an complement the iLife suite, the software is all about capturing and exploring your life memories.
MemoryMiner allows anyone to zero in on the stories depicted in their photos by linking them to each other based on people, places and time. While photos are used as the starting point, the goal is always uncovering the backstory.
With MemoryMiner, you can directly record audio or video to capture the backstory of a photo. You can attach documents, web URL’s, or other media to add depth and context. Each photo becomes a frame in a storyboard that can be browsed by periods in a person’s life, where people overlap, by place, by time, or any combination.
MemoryMiner requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher. It’s Universal Binary so runs natively on both PowerPC and Intel Macs. MemoryMiner is available as a single-user license for US$40 ; a demo is available for download.
