Clip-specific asset configuration
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a client system, an input for applying a video effect to a video clip, wherein the video effect and the video clip are stored in a storage system accessible by a server system remote from the client system;
based on the input, creating, at the client system, a parent-child relationship between the video clip and the video effect, wherein the parent-child relationship associates the video clip and the video effect so that video customization operations on the video clip by the client system are also processed on the video effect by the client system and that video customization operations on the video effect by the client system are processed on the video effect independent of the video clip;
in response to receiving, at the client system, an additional input to play the video clip, receiving from the server system, the video clip and the video effect as separate media files, wherein the server system does not apply the video effect to the video clip;
andplaying, at the client system, the video clip by overlaying the video effect on the video clip for an entire duration of the video clip according to the parent-child relationship in real-time without compiling or rendering the video clip and the video effect into a single media file.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus provide for an asset binder configured to select a media asset to be associated with a media segment that is represented in media seamline of a user interface at a client system, thereby creating a relationship between the media segment and the media asset. At the client system, in real-time, the media asset is layered upon the media segment in order to present the media asset in conjunction with playback of the media segment in the user interface. The relationship between the media segment and the media asset can be described as a parent-child relationship, such that media segment content and media asset content are not intermingled. The asset binder does not combine content of the media segment with content of the media asset within a rendered and compiled media file.

5. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a server system from a client system, a reference to a video clip, the server system in communication with a computer-readable medium; receiving, at the server system, a reference to a video effect; receiving, at the server system, an additional input specifying a parent-child relationship between the video clip and the video effect; creating, at the server system, an edit decision list describing the parent-child relationship of the video clip and the video effect, wherein the parent-child relationship associates the video clip with the video effect, so that video customization operations on the video clip by the client system are also processed on the video effect by the client system and that video customization operations on the video effect by the client system are processed on the video effect independent of the video clip; storing, at the server system, the edit decision list; in response to receiving, at the server system, a request to play the video clip from the client system; executing, at the server system, the edit decision list to transmit, to the client system, the video clip and the video effect as separate media files, wherein the client system plays the video clip by overlaying the video effect on the video clip in real-time for an entire duration of the video clip according to the parent-child relationship, the overlaying performed without compiling or rendering the video clip and the video effect into a new media file. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
