SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING VIDEOS WITH OVERLAYS
A computer implemented method of producing videos with overlays. A user creates a video and various overlays to be applied to the video. The user selects predetermined time frames for the overlays to be provided. The system automatically generates the resulting video with the selected overlays at the predetermined time frames.

8 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 6 , wherein at least some of the users in the plurality of users are different than at least some of the users in the supplemental plurality of users.
9 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 2 , wherein the association is based upon information associated with a user watching the video.
10 . A computer-implemented method for generating a modified video, performed on one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
(a) providing a plurality of videos;
(b) collecting data regarding videos viewed by a plurality of users;
(c) making a first association, using the one or more computing devices, between videos viewed by a first plurality of users;
(d) providing a database comprising a plurality of video overlays;
(e) selecting a video from a plurality of videos;
(f) using the first association and the one or more computing devices, to select a first video overlay from the database;
(g) selecting, using the one or more computing devices, a first predetermined time of the video in which to overlay the first video overlay;
(h) overlaying the first video overlay onto the video at the first predetermined time;
(i) making a second association, using the one or more computing devices, between videos viewed by a second plurality of users;
(j) using the second association and the one or more computing devices, to select a second video overlay from the database;
(k) selecting, using the one or more computing devices, a second predetermined time of the video in which to overlay the second video overlay;
(l) overlaying the second video overlay onto the video at the second predetermined time; and
(m) viewing the video with the first video overlay and the second video overlay.
11 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 10 , wherein the first association is based upon the actions of the first plurality of users.
12 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 10 , wherein the first association is based upon the locations of the first plurality of users.
13 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 10 , wherein the first plurality of users is the same as the second plurality of users.
14 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 10 , wherein the first plurality of users is different than the second plurality of users.
15 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 14 , wherein the first association is based upon the actions of the first plurality of users.
16 . The computer-implemented method for generating a modified video of claim 15 , wherein the second association is based upon the locations of the second plurality of users.
