From early on in the popcorn.js process, we’ve been imagining BUTTER - an easy way for non-coders to be able to add metadata to their videos. Currently, popcorn.js uses an external XML file (though we’ll be switching to JSON in our next releases). Neither of these formats are reasonable for lay video creators to use, so discussion of a front end has been in the works for months.

However, looking at the amazing work done by the Participatory Culture Foundation on Universal Subtitles, we thought this interface would be great to experiment with, and so they were nice enough to add support for metadata in the language drop down on their staging site. Scott Downe and Adam Duston are responsible for this early work, which you can see a screencast of below.
