Collaborative production asset management

摘要

In an approach, a method of spotting music for a motion picture comprises: receiving music editor (MXE) cue related data defining a plurality of cues each having a start timecode value and an end timecode value; based on the MXE data, creating and storing an MXE timecode path, a composer (CMP) timecode path, and a cue sheet timecode path; copying one or more of the MXE cue related data to CMP cues in the CMP timecode path in a CMP spotting dataset; receiving one or more changes to the CMP cues without also modifying the MXE cue related data; applying an editing lock to the CMP cues; auto-populating the CMP cues to cue sheet cues in the cue sheet timecode path; receiving one or more changes to the cue sheet cues without also modifying the CMP cues; finalizing and distributing a cue sheet based on the cue sheet cues; wherein the method is performed by one or more special-purpose computing devices.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a production manager computer, at a time before closing a media production, cue metadata defining a plurality of music cues for the media production, wherein a first part of the cue metadata is received from a first computer and a second part of the cue metadata is received from a second computer that is different than the first computer, wherein the first part of the cue metadata includes a first plurality of timecodes for the plurality of music cues and the second part of the cue metadata includes a second plurality of timecodes for the plurality of music cues, wherein the first part of the cue metadata is received by the first computer via a first graphical user interface displayed by the first computer and the second part of the cue metadata is received by the second computer via a second graphical user interface displayed by the second computer; storing, by the production manager computer, one or more records in a database based on the cue metadata, wherein the database stores both the first plurality of timecodes for the plurality of music cues and the second plurality of timecodes for the plurality of music cues; generating, by the production manager computer, a cue data set based on the one or more records; causing, by the production manager computer, display of the cue data set; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
