Floe metadata authoring demo iteration 2

Hi Dana,

See my comments below.

Yes this design is just for a single video. When we begin supporting
multiple videos, this will need to be tweaked as a single status icon won't
adequately describe the states of multiple video objects.

I have some ideas on how improve this like using a visual indicator (like a
pie chart overlaid the icon) which indicates the ratio of content with
captions vs. all captions. i.e. 1 of 4 videos have captions, and 1/4 of the
icon will be "active" while the remaining 3/4 is grey.

Thanks for pointing this out. There are 2 options in how to deal with this:
1. Use the context menu attached to the video placeholder in the editor
(what we've been calling "the bucket"), or
2.  Just stuff all the panels in the sidebar and have it scroll vertically
(as it is in the current version of the demo).

My inclination is to go with #2 since we may not have time to do #1
completely. What do you think?

The captions panel shows up on page 6 before any content has been added.  I

You're right. This is a visual gaffe. If there isn't a video in the editor,
then the metadata sidebar should be empty. I'll correct that.

Thanks for the comments Dana!
