A SYSTEM FOR INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP EDITING OF NETWORKED TIME-BASED MEDIA

摘要

The present invention provides an easy to use web-based editing tool for time-based video content and media. The proposed system operates with metadata drivers for controlling a playing device without changing underlying encoded video data by tracking and recording playback decision actions by an operator/editor/user. Multiple user edits and multiple edit levels are enabled by tracking each step of the playback decision action and linking each to the underlying time-based video media.
