\nBrett Gaylor launching Popcorn Maker at the Mozilla Festival on Nov. 11.<\/em>
\nToday at the Mozilla Festival<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019re extremely proud to launch the 1.0 version of Popcorn Maker<\/a><\/strong>, a free web app that makes video pop with interactivity, context and the magic of the web.
\nPopcorn Maker makes it easy to enhance, remix and share web video<\/strong>. Using Popcorn Maker\u2019s simple drag and drop interface, you can add live content to any video \u2014 photos, maps, links, social media feeds and more. All right from your browser.
\nThe result is a new way to tell stories on the web, with videos that are rich with context, full of links, and unique each time you watch them.

The Popcorn Maker story<\/h3>\n

\u201cUntil now, video on the web has been stuck inside a little black box<\/strong>,\u201d\u00a0says Mozilla\u2019s Director of Popcorn, Brett Gaylor<\/a>. \u201cPopcorn Maker changes that, making video work like the rest of the web: hackable, linkable, remixable, and connected to the world around it.\u201d
\nLast year Mozilla launched Popcorn.js<\/a>, a Javascript library for developers that resulted in ground-breaking productions like the NFB\u2019s One Millionth Tower<\/a>, PBS and NPR\u2019s 2012 election coverage<\/a>, and more<\/a>.
\n\u201cBut until now, the power of Popcorn has been available mostly just to developers<\/strong>,\u201d\u00a0 Brett says. \u201cPopcorn Maker puts that power in everyone\u2019s<\/em> hands, through an intuitive interface anyone can use. We\u2019re really excited to see what the world will make with it.\u201d
\nDeveloped as part of Mozilla\u2019s Webmaker<\/a> program, Popcorn Maker is a unique collaboration with filmmakers, developers, young media makers, and the Centre for Development of Open Technology at Seneca College<\/a>, all working to design and build together.
\nPopcorn Maker is built entirely using open web elements, written in HTML, CSS and Javascript. \u201cIt\u2019s essentially a web page that makes other web pages. We think it\u2019s a great example of Mozilla\u2019s larger vision for what web apps can be,\u201d Brett says.<\/p>\n
