Media production system with score-based display feature

1. A method comprising:

(i) selecting, by a computing system, a media content item from a set of multiple media content items;

(ii) identifying, by the computing system, a set of operations that a media production system (MPS) performed in connection with the selected media content item, wherein the MPS is configured for generating and transmitting media content to a media broadcast system (MBS) for distribution to end-users, and wherein the set of operations comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of (i) a first operation of the MPS providing a preview of the selected media content item, (ii) a second operation of the MPS adding a reference to the selected media content item to a program schedule for a media program, and (iii) a third operation of the MPS transmitting the selected media content item to another MPS;

(iii) for each operation in the identified set of operations, determining, by the computing system, a respective operation score;

(iv) using, by the computing system, the one or more determined operation scores to determine a media content item score of the selected media content item;

(v) repeating (i)-(iv) above for each remaining media content item in the set of multiple media content items; and

(vi) displaying, by the computing system, a reference to each media content item in the set of multiple media content items, wherein the displayed references are arranged based on the determined media content item scores.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing system is the MPS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MPS is a video production system and the set of multiple media content items is a set of multiple video content items.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least two of the determined operation scores are different from each other.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayed references are arranged in a list and are arranged such that the corresponding content item scores are in an ascending order or a descending order.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:

(i) selecting, by a computing system, a media content item from a set of multiple media content items;

(ii) identifying, by the computing system, a set of operations that a media production system (MPS) performed in connection with the selected media content item, wherein the MPS is configured for generating and transmitting media content to a media broadcast system (MBS) for distribution to end-users, and wherein the set of operations comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of (i) a first operation of the MPS providing a preview of the selected media content item, (ii) a second operation of the MPS adding a reference to the selected media content item to a program schedule for a media program, and (iii) a third operation of the MPS transmitting the selected media content item to another MPS;

(iii) for each operation in the identified set of operations, determining, by the computing system, a respective operation score;

(iv) using, by the computing system, the one or more determined operation scores to determine a media content item score of the selected media content item;

(v) repeating (i)-(iv) above for each remaining media content item in the set of multiple media content items; and

(vi) displaying, by the computing system, a reference to each media content item in the set of multiple media content items, wherein the displayed references are arranged based on the determined media content item scores.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the computing system is the MPS.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the MPS is a video production system and the set of multiple media content items is a set of multiple video content items.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein at least two of the determined operation scores are different from each other.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 6 , wherein the displayed references are arranged in a list and are arranged such that the corresponding content item scores are in an ascending order or a descending order.

11. A computing system configured for performing a set of acts comprising:

(i) selecting, by the computing system, a media content item from a set of multiple media content items;

(ii) identifying, by the computing system, a set of operations that a media production system (MPS) performed in connection with the selected media content item, wherein the MPS is configured for generating and transmitting media content to a media broadcast system (MBS) for distribution to end-users, and wherein the set of operations comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of (i) a first operation of the MPS providing a preview of the selected media content item, (ii) a second operation of the MPS adding a reference to the selected media content item to a program schedule for a media program, and (iii) a third operation of the MPS transmitting the selected media content item to another MPS;

(iii) for each operation in the identified set of operations, determining, by the computing system, a respective operation score;

(iv) using, by the computing system, the one or more determined operation scores to determine a media content item score of the selected media content item;

(v) repeating (i)-(iv) above for each remaining media content item in the set of multiple media content items; and

(vi) displaying, by the computing system, a reference to each media content item in the set of multiple media content items, wherein the displayed references are arranged based on the determined media content item scores.

12. The computing system of claim 11 , wherein the computing system is the MPS.
