requesting the remote video editor to edit the compressed video asset;

receiving editing instructions from the remote video editor, the editing instructions are generated by the remote editor when editing the compressed video asset;

processing, by a video processor, the video asset based on the editing instructions to provide an edited video asset; and

performing at least one of storing, displaying or publishing the edited video asset.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising sending client editing information to the remote video editor;

wherein the client editing information assist the remote editor to edit the compressed video asset.

3. The method according to claim 2 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:

a name of the video asset, a date in which the video asset was obtained, text to be included in the edited video asset, a picture to be included in the video asset, and a desired length of the edited video asset.

4. The method according to claim 2 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:

a type of event that is captured by the video asset, an importance of dialogue captured in the video asset.

5. The method according to claim 2 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:

items of interest captured in the video asset;

pictures of items of interest captured in the video asset, a desired format of the edited video asset, and desired style of the edited video asset.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving editing remarks from a user in response to a display of the edited video asset;

transmitting to the remote video editor the editing remarks;

requesting the remote video editor to edit the compressed video asset based on the editing remarks;

receiving updated editing instructions from the remote video editor;

processing the edited video asset based on the additional editing instructions to provide a re-edited video asset; and

performing at least one of storing, displaying or publishing the edited video asset.

7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

browsing to a web site that stores an edited second resolution video asset, wherein the edited second resolution video asset is generated by applying the editing instructions on the compressed video asset;

displaying the edited second resolution video asset;

receiving annotations that relate to a content of the edited second resolution video asset;

sending to the remote editor the annotation;

receiving annotation related editing instructions from the remote video editor that reflect the annotations;

processing the edited video asset based on the annotation related editing instructions to provide a re-edited video asset; and

storing or displaying the re-edited video asset.

8. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

generating client preference information reflecting client editing information generated by a client in response to different video assets; and

transmitting to the remote editor the client preference information.

10. The method according to claim 1, comprising requesting the remote editor to apply at least one of the following operations during the editing of the compressed video asset:

face detection, scene detection, shake prevention, color correction, audio improvements and adjustments, beat detection, poor quality video identification.

9. The method according 1, comprising uploading the edited video asset to video sharing web sites.

11. A video processing system, the system comprises:

a video retriever for obtaining a video asset of a first resolution;

a compressing module for compressing the video asset to provide a compressed video asset of a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution;

a transmitter for transmitting the compressed video asset to a remote video editor;

a receiver for receiving editing instructions from the remote video editor, the editing instructions are generated by the remote editor when editing the compressed video asset;

a video processor for processing the video asset based on the editing instructions to provide an edited video asset; and

at least one component out of a memory unit and a display, the memory unit is configured to store the edited video asset and the display is configured to display the edited video asset.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the transmitter is configured to send client editing information to the remote video editor;

wherein the client editing information assist the remote editor to edit the compressed video asset.

13. The video processing system according to claim 12 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:

a name of the video asset, a date in which the video asset was obtained, text to be included in the edited video asset, a picture to be included in the video asset, and a desired length of the edited video asset.

14. The video processing system according to claim 12 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:

a type of event that is captured by the video asset, an importance of dialogue captured in the video asset.

15. The video processing system according to claim 12 wherein the client editing information is selected from a group consisting of:
