For the past few months we've been hard at work on a great new app - MovieShare!
MovieShare is about to become the easiest and best way to share movies between any iPhone, iPad and Mac.
So what is MovieShare?
MovieShare is a super-easy way to share and play movies on iPhones, iPads and Macs. Its that simple, but that's what makes it so great.
How many times have you hit these problems?
- You're away from your 'Home' Mac where you usually sync your iPhone or iPad and you want to get a new movie onto your iPhone.
- You're out and you want to move a movie from your iPhone to your iPad.
- A friend has a movie that you want on their iPhone.
MovieShare enables a whole world of sharing that just isn't possible using iTunes and the regular Movie syncing approach. We've been using MovieShare for months now at Shedworx and we're sure you'll love it too.
We've created a new Facebook page for MovieShare where we'll be posting updates as we get closer to the launch date.
"By keywords, do you mean
"By keywords, do you mean metadata, like you would see on a JPEG photo? Movies don't tend to have metadata like photos do"
No, I mean just keywords which I assign to a movie. In a similar way like I can do it in Aperture to still pictures. I don't care whether they are embedded or not, I just want to retrieve clips. At present I've got app. 2'300 family video clips. Way too many to remember their contents.
Keywords
No - MovieShare doesn't deal with keywords and so on. Our video manager - Cosmos - is set up for that kind of thing. I personally use Cosmos for managing all my home movie footage and have around 5,000 assets in there. I generally keep all original clips in Albums based on event, then have a group per year, then sub-groups per year for different areas, e.g. school, sport, holidays, etc.
If you have your clips organised in something like Cosmos, you can then export the required clips to a folder and drop the contents of that folder into MovieShare. The OSX version of MovieShare will have the Smart Converter engine included in the Pro version, taking care of almost any conversion required.
Thanks, I'll have a look at it
I purchased it some months ago, but never tried it in more detail. But my video base is a Terabyte and growing, so exporting according to some criteria is no real option, not even to think of converting ;-)
Does it support keyword search in the movie database at home?
If not, do you know an app on the Mac that allows keyword management and retrieval, such as Aperture does it for still pictures?
Good luck with your new product and happy launch time!

Keywords
MovieShare isn't a movie database and currently doesn't link into iTunes or any other movie database at this time.
By keywords, do you mean metadata, like you would see on a JPEG photo? Movies don't tend to have metadata like photos do.
Photo metadata standards such as EXIF support the embedding of keyword data into the photo itself, which is what some photo management tools can do. I'm not aware of any movie database tools which do the same thing, mainly because there is no consistent way to embed metadata into a movie.
MovieShare is nearly finished and will be well and truly in the stores for XMas :)
