Here’s one demo we saw at NAB that blew minds. The concept is simple, and builds upon your existing process. For writers, directors, and producers of documentaries, I think this Aussie delight will soon be standard equipment. In a nutshell, it auto-builds timelines to explore, according to keywords you want to explore in your project. It’s hard to explain; watch the movie for a concrete walkthrough in 81 seconds.

If you plan ahead, and add good log notes, it all rolls from there. We saw him demo it live, and it was amazing.

Update: Phillip Hodgetts wrote me a note, and said that the product is shipping. There’s two flavors, you can read more about it on his site. There’s some nice examples of how it works, as well.
