<p>A computer-implemented method of converting a text-based message into a sequence of media clips. The method is carried out by a user device and comprises receiving a text-based message comprising a plurality of words and sending the text based message, via a network connection, to a remote server. At the remote server the message is separated into constituent words whereby sets of media clips are each associated with one or more of the respective words of the message, the media clips in a given set being identified based on associated metadata related to the respective word. The user device receives at least a first automatically selected media clip from each of the sets of media clips for the respective words of the message, wherein the sequence of media clips contains one automatically selected media clip from each of the sets of media clips. For one or more of the words in the text based message, user input is received selecting a media clip to replace an automatically selected media clip for inclusion in the sequence of media clips. The user input may select a media clip from the set of media clips associated with the word or an additional media clip accessible by the user device from an alternative source. Corresponding user devices and remote servers are also provided.</p> |
