<p>An on-line video editing system includes interface software (132) containing in preferably text file format protocol information and a mapping of the architectural functions of peripheral devices that a user can control via the editor. The system permits simultaneous control of up to 48 serial devices as well as 8 GPI controlled devices (12). Further, the interface software (132) enables a user to input a desired edit effect. Applicants' hardware (2) and software (132) permit the system to maintain a virtual hierarchical historical record of unlimited size containing every step of every edit made with the system. In addition to conventional timecode data, the system EDL (38) can provide user output in graphic or visual form, and will allow a user to actually see a still frame from a desired video edit point.</p> |
