You use the Final Cut Pro X app to create, edit, and produce high-quality video. With the Final Cut Pro X XML (FCPXML) format, you can transfer the details of your events and projects between Final Cut Pro X and third-party applications, devices, and media asset management tools that do not natively recognize Final Cut Pro X events or projects. FCPXML 1.6 requires Final Cut Pro X 10.3 or later.

"TensorFlow™ is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well."

Video Indexer is a cloud service that enables you to extract the following insights from your videos using artificial intelligence technologies:

"Intelligent video processing produces stable video output, detects motion, creates intelligent thumbnails, and detects and tracks faces"

"Enable natural and contextual interaction with tools that augment users' experiences using the power of machine-based intelligence. Tap into an ever-growing collection of powerful artificial intelligence algorithms for vision, speech, language, and knowledge."

"Google Cloud Video Intelligence API makes videos searchable, and discoverable, by extracting metadata with an easy to use REST API. You can now search every moment of every video file in your catalog and find every occurrence as well as its significance. It quickly annotates videos stored in Google Cloud Storage, and helps you identify key nouns entities of your video, and when they occur within the video. Separate signal from noise, by retrieving relevant information at the video, shot or per frame. "

Channel 4 is bolstering its video on demand advertising package with a new ad format that can directly address viewers by their name. Accessing registration data, the company can directly address viewers with an audio personalised digital ad campaign.

Hijack Your Attention. Not just for a moment, or an hour - but every moment, of every hour. That's how the companies we worked at made billions. They win the more they keep you scrolling. They win the more they hook your kids. They win the more things interrupt you. They win when outrage keeps you hooked to the news.

Forum theatre is a type of theatre created by the innovative and influential practitioner Augusto Boal as part of what he calls his "Theatre of the Oppressed." Boal created Forum theatre as a forum for teaching people how to change their world. While practicing earlier in his career, Boal would apply 'simultaneous dramaturgy'. In this process the actors or audience members could stop a performance, often a short scene in which a character was being oppressed in some way. The audience would suggest different actions for the actors to carry out on-stage in an attempt to change the outcome of what they were seeing. This was an attempt to undo the traditional actor partition and bring audience members into the performance, to have an input into the dramatic action they were watching. Eventually this 'simultaneous dramaturgy' became Forum theatre when audience members were asked not just to suggest different actions, but to come on stage and perform their own interventions.

Lyrebird is the first company to offer a technology to reproduce the voice of someone as accurately and with as little recorded audio. Such a technology raises important societal issues that we address in the next paragraphs.

"Interactive narrative is an emerging art form that borrows from multiple disciplines. It's a telescoping and a presentation of a series of events. Consequently we can think of writing a narrative as interface design. Mark Meadows explains the art of narrative in this article."
