Kaltura (www.kaltura.com)is a site for group video making. For the first time, users are given the ability to create rich media together.
Like the Wiki platform that enables users to collaborate on the creation of texts from any browser, Kaltura enables a group of users to collaborate on the creation of a video – or what we call a Kaltura.
Users who start a Kaltura choose its topic, pick a look for the Kaltura page, and invite friends to contribute video, music and photos to it. Then, they can even edit it together. The collaborative result can be viewed on Kaltura.com, downloaded for later use, and easily embedded on any site, blog or social network as a widget.
