Video assist control systems and methods for use in film/video production environments are presented which provide a link between production and post-production by storing and managing both recorded media and production information. Multiple video signals (including audio) may be selectively received and simultaneously digitally recorded and stored, along with time code information, with near instantaneous playback capability for multiple current and past recordings. Database functionality is incorporated to provide for entry and storage of information associated with each recording. The database provides searching capabilities to locate and retrieve past recordings, based on stored information, for playback review, editing and assembly of recordings or portions thereof. Editing functionality is provided including identification of action points, cut points for segmentation within recordings, and selection of active channels for selected segments upon playback so as to provide for sequential playback of assembled video portions from multiple recordings. Compositing functionality is further incorporated to allow playback of pre-existing material in superimposition with new material being recorded, thus allowing near real-time viewing of special effects. |
