1. A nonlinear editing system comprising:
- a video encoder to receive a first video stream including video originally intended as video for a scene of a program and a second video stream including a first alternate video for replacing the video;
an audio compressor to receive a first audio stream including audio originally intended as audio for the scene of the program and a second audio stream including a first alternate audio for replacing the audio; and
an engine unit to synchronize the video with the first alternate video and to synchronize the audio with the first alternate audio so that, where the scene of the program includes objectionable content, either (i) the video is substituted with the first alternate video, (ii) the audio is substituted with the first alternate audio, or (iii) both the video and the audio are substituted with the first alternate video and the first alternate audio.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, A nonlinear editing system comprises a video encoder, an audio compressor and an engine unit. The engine unit is adapted to synchronize the video with the first alternate video and to synchronize the audio with the first alternate audio so that, where the scene of the program includes objectionable content, either (i) the video is substituted with the first alternate video, (ii) the audio is substituted with the first alternate audio, or (iii) both the video and the audio are substituted with the first alternate video and the first alternate audio.

9. A nonlinear editing system comprising:
-
a video encoder to receive a first video stream including video originally intended as video for a scene of a program and a second video stream including a first alternate video for replacing at least a portion of the video;
an audio compressor to receive a first audio stream including audio originally intended as audio for the scene of the program and a second audio stream including a first alternate audio for replacing at least a portion of the audio; and
an engine unit to determine if the scene of the program includes objectionable content and to substitute main content, being at least one of the video and the audio, with replacement content if the scene of the program includes objectionable content and the replacement does not feature the objectionable content. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A machine readable medium to store software that, if executed by an engine unit, will cause a non-linear editing system to perform the following operations:
-
receiving a first video stream including video originally intended for a scene of a program and a second video stream including a first alternate video for replacing the video;
receiving a first audio stream including audio originally intended for the scene of the program and a second audio stream including a first alternate audio for replacing the audio; and
synchronizing the video with the first alternate video and to synchronize the audio with the first alternate audio so that, where the scene of the program includes objectionable content, either (i) the video is substituted with the first alternate video, (ii) the audio is substituted with the first alternate audio, or (iii) both the video and the audio are substituted with the first alternate video and the first alternate audio. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
