One variation of a method for distributing a composition of audio and visual media includes: at a first computing device, generating a first meta file for a first composition, including pointers to an audio track and pointers to, positions and durations of video masks for, and an order for a set of videos; storing the first meta file and a portion of a private video, in the set of videos, in a remote database; serving the audio track and the set of videos to a second computing device for playback at the second computing device according to the first meta file; in response to modification of the first composition at the second computing device, generating a second meta file for a second composition defining a modified arrangement of the first composition; and storing the second meta file for local playback of the second composition at a third computing device. |

1. A method for distributing a composition of audio and visual media, the method comprising:
at a first computing device, receiving a selection for a first audio track and an initial set of videos, the initial set of videos comprising a private video stored locally on the first computing device; defining an initial order of videos in the initial set of videos; for each video in the initial set of videos, defining an initial position and an initial duration of a video mask based on the first audio track, the initial order, and an initial duration of the composition, each video mask bounding a contiguous subset of frames in a corresponding video in the initial set of videos; in response to selection of at least one of an alternative audio track, an alternative order for the initial set of videos, and an alternative duration of the composition, modifying a video mask corresponding to a video in the initial set of videos; generating a meta file comprising a pointer to a final audio track selected for the composition, a pointer to each video in a final set of videos selected for the composition, specification for a final position and a final duration of a video mask corresponding to each video in the final set of videos, and specification for a final order for videos in the final set of videos; uploading the meta file and a portion of the private video from the first computing device to a remote database; and loading videos in the final set of videos and the final audio track from the remote database onto a second computing device for replay at the second computing device according to the meta file. |
