Get Started Tags Used in Events

To create a new project in AVAnnotate, first ensure you are on the “My Projects” page. “Shared Projects” indicates projects that other users have created and shared access with you, while “My Projects” allows you to create new projects under your own GitHub account.

Select “Add Project,” and then we’re going to enter some information about your new project. First, use the dropdown to select the name of the GitHub Organization that the project will belong to. This will likely be your GitHub username, though it can also be a team repository.

Finally, you’ll have the opportunity to add other GitHub contributors to collaborate on your project. To do this, you’ll need your collaborator’s GitHub username. Adding collaborators lets other users have access to the backend of your project.

Double check that the columns match the data you’ve created, and then select Import and Save.

Lastly, select Save to add your annotation to the audiovisual file.

This is what an auto-generated page may look like.

In the Site Builder tab, select “Add Page,” and then “Blank Page.” What this will do is create a fully customizable page, which you can use to differently showcase the audiovisual events you’ve already created in your project, or build out new pages with essays, images, or other media related to your project. You can also use a custom page to create a bibliography, compare clips from your AV events, or display your AV events alongside other related media.

If, for example, I was using this blank page to feature additional media that I want to associate with a particular event, I would select the AV event’s existing page as the parent of this new page. In this way, the blank page feature can be used to structure a project and create relationships between different pages.
