1. A method of managing media clips over a data network, the method comprising:
- displaying at least one user interface element on a display;
receiving a search input via an input device, wherein the search input identifies at least one metadata item;
transmitting a clip request to a metadata database based on the at least one metadata item, wherein the metadata database comprises metadata records associated with a plurality of timecoded references;
receiving at least one media clip identifier in response to the clip request;
requesting at least one media clip from a storage server based on the at least one media clip identifier;
receiving the at least one media clip from the storage server;
receiving a transformation input via the input device, wherein the transformation input identifies at least one transformation to apply to the at least one media clip;
applying the at least one transformation to the at least one media clip;
generating a first additional metadata item relating to the at least one media clip identifier and a second additional metadata item relating to the at least one transformation; and
transmitting the first additional metadata item and the second additional metadata item to the metadata database to update a metadata record corresponding to the at least one metadata item.

Abstract
Methods and system for managing media clips over a data network. Media streams may be received over a data network and stored by a storage server. Metadata regarding the media streams may be generated and stored at a metadata server. A control station can retrieve media frames originating in the stored media streams from the storage server, based on metadata. Media frames from multiple media streams can be retrieved and displayed in synchronization, based on respective timecodes.

9. A system for managing media clips, the system comprising:
-
a data network; a metadata database comprising a plurality of metadata records associated with a plurality of timecode references; a storage server; and a processor coupled to a memory, the processor being coupled to the metadata database and the storage server via the data network, and being configured to; display at least one user interface element on a display; receive a search input via an input device, wherein the search input identifies at least one metadata item; transmit a clip request to a metadata database based on the at least one metadata item; receive at least one media clip identifier in response to the clip request; request at least one media clip from a storage server based on the at least one media clip identifier; receive the at least one media clip from the storage server; receive a transformation input via the input device, wherein the transformation input identifies at least one transformation to apply to the at least one media clip; apply the at least one transformation to the at least one media clip; generate a first additional metadata item relating to the at least one media clip identifier and a second additional metadata item relating to the at least one transformation; and transmit the first additional metadata item and the second additional metadata item to the metadata database to update a metadata record corresponding to the at least one metadata item. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
