Embodiments disclosed herein enable a user to generate an audio-visual project. Certain embodiments enable a user to use one of a plurality of predefined templates to generate a project easily and quickly. Other embodiments enable a user to generate a custom project that gives more control to the user, compared to if the user selected one of the predefined templates. Each project includes one or more segments, which may be specified by a user directly, or may be specified by the template selected by the user. An effect is applied to each segment, wherein the effect specifies how many video and audio slots are included in the segment, if any, and can specify one or more other properties of the segment. Projects generated using embodiments disclosed herein can be saved and shared with other users. |

1. A computing system that enables a user to generate an audio-visual project, comprising:
memory that stores
template data that predefines a plurality of templates;effects data that predefines a plurality of effects; andskin data that predefines a plurality of skins each of which can be applied to specific ones of the templates;
wherein each of the templates specifies how many segments are included in the project if the template is selected to generate the project;wherein each of the effects specifies properties of a said segment, if the effect is applied to the segment, including how many video slots are included in the segment and how many audio slots are included in the segment; andwherein each of the skins specifies, on a segment by segment basis, which ones of the effects are applied to which ones of the segments specified by a said template if the skin is applied to the template; a user interface configured to accept from the user
a selection of one of the plurality of templates;a separate selection or recording of a video clip to populate each separate video slot included in each segment of the project; anda separate selection or recording of a separate audio clip to populate each separate audio slot included in each segment of the project; and one or more processors configured to generate and store on one or more processor readable storage devices, an audio-video project file that is based on the how many segments are specified by the selected template, the video clips that populate the video slots, the audio clips that populate the audio slots, and one or more other properties of each said effect that is applied to each said segment of the project; wherein the one or more other properties of each said effect comprises at least one of an intro, an outro, static graphics, moving graphics, a transition, an opacity, a background, a foreground, a border, a cut-scene video or a post processing procedure. |
