Public Interest and Non-profits Spotlight: RemixAmerica.org

Challenge

RemixAmerica.org, a multi-partisan, non-profit initiative, wanted to create an interactive channel for young, internet-savvy users to express themselves collaboratively in the political realm. Their aim was to create a new "digital public square" where everyone could join the public conversation, leveraging digital technology to create remixes of videos, photos, and audio to extend the great American tradition of open expression.

Results

With Kaltura's video platform RemixAmerica was able to realize its vision for a digital soap-box promoting political discourse. RemixAmerica.org launched with an advanced collaborative rich-media application based completely on Kaltura's technology. Users on the site can upload their own videos or create new videos using Kaltura's online editor. They can also start a video conversation by collaboratively remixing videos on the site and by leaving a video comment on any of the videos already posted by other users. Building on Kaltura's open source framework, RemixAmerica created new widgets, including custom playlists and galleries, and combined them with existing widgets such as the standard and advanced video editors, in order to create a unique rich media experience that allows different users to participate at different levels of engagement.
