System for authoring and viewing detail on demand video

摘要

A method and system provide additional detail to a video sequence in response to user input. The system allows a user to generate a link from an anchor point in a source video sequence to a target point in a destination video sequence. A video sequence may be constructed from a single video clip or a video composite comprised of video clips and other video composites. Video composites may be used as objects to create video sequences. Links between video source and destination points may span one or more levels in a hierarchical video structure. A user may configure the anchor point and target point to be at different locations within corresponding video sequences.
