METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USING A LIST DRIVEN SELECTION PROCESS TO IMPROVE VIDEO AND MEDIA TIME BASED EDITING
A method and apparatus for displaying a segmented video by displaying the segmented in video in a chronologically ordered list. The system is further operative to permit a user to rearrange the order and contents of the list and to combine segments into a combined video and permitting the user to share combined segments from the list.
1 . A method of displaying a segmented video comprising the steps of:
receiving a plurality of video data;
ordering said plurality of video data in a list according to a chronological order;
displaying said list;
reordering the order of said plurality of said video data in said list in response to a first user command; and
combining at least two of said plurality of video data to generate a combined video file in response to a second user command.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
removing at least one of said plurality of video data from said list in response to a third user command.
3 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
transmitting said combined video file over a network in response to a fourth user command.
4 . The method of claim 3 further comprising the step of:
removing said combined video file from said list in response to completing said transmitting step.
5 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
reordering said plurality of video data in response to a fourth user command.
6 . The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
generating a preview of said combined video file.
7 . An apparatus comprising:
a source of a plurality of video data;
a processor operative to order said plurality of video data in a list according to a chronological order, reorder the order of said plurality of said video data in said list in response to a first user command and combine at least two of said plurality of video data to generate a combined video file in response to a second user command; and
a memory operative to store said combined video file.
8 . The apparatus of claim 7 further comprising an interface operative to receive said first user command and said second user command and to display said list.
9 . The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said processor is further operative to remove at least one of said plurality of video data from said list in response to a third user command.
10 . The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said processor is further operative to transmit said combined video file over a network in response to a fourth user command.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said processor is further operative to remove said combined video file from said list in response to completing said transmitting step.
12 . The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said processor is further operative to reorder said plurality of video data in response to a fourth user command.
13 . The apparatus of claim 7 wherein said processor is further operative to generate a preview of said combined video file.
14 . The apparatus of claim 7 further comprising a display for displaying said list.
15 . A method comprising the steps of:
receiving a first video file;
segmenting said first video file into a plurality of video data;
ordering said plurality of video data in a list according to a chronological order;
displaying said list;
reordering the order of said plurality of said video data in said list in response to a first user command; and
combining at least two of said plurality of video data to generate a combined video file in response to a second user command.
16 . The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of:
removing at least one of said plurality of video data from said list in response to a third user command.
17 . The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of:
transmitting said combined video file over a network in response to a fourth user command.
18 . The method of claim 17 further comprising the step of:
removing said combined video file from said list in response to completing said transmitting step.
19 . The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of:
reordering said plurality of video data in response to a fourth user command.
20 . The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of:
generating a preview of said combined video file.
