TIME-BASED SCRIPT TRICKPLAY SEQUENCES FOR AUTOMATICALLY AUTHORING CLIPLETS FROM A MEDIA STREAM

摘要

A method of producing a sound or video stream is based on a so-called tweaky file and an original file. The tweaky file includes actions and time stamp (s) associated with each action. The original file includes sound or video content. An action is selected in the tweaky file. The time stamp (s) associated with the selected action is obtained from the tweaky file. The point or segment of the original file corresponding to the obtained time stamp (s) is identified. The selected action is executed on the identified point or segment. Then, the steps of selecting, obtaining, identifying and executing are repeated, for the next actions in the tweaky file, to produce the sound or video stream. The invention also relates to an apparatus, computer-readable medium, computer-readable file, signal and computer program.
