Abstract

A video editing system and method with multi-stage control to generate clips are described. In one embodiment, the video editing system comprises editing processing logic controllable to perform, on one or more raw input feeds, a plurality of different edits to render one or more final cut clips for viewing, where each of the one or more edits transforms data from one or more of the raw input feeds into the one or more of the plurality of final cut clips by generating tags that identify highlights from signals, and generating one or more variations of the final cut clips as a result of independent control and application of the editing processing logic to data from the one or more raw input feeds, and wherein at least one of the raw input feeds includes video data and the editing processing logic comprises a plurality of stages, and further wherein the plurality of stages includes a first stage to create one or more rough cut versions of video data and a second stage to create one or more final cut versions of the video data from the one or more rough cut versions.

Claims

1. A video editing system comprising:

editing processing logic controllable to perform, on one or more raw input feeds, a plurality of different edits to render one or more final cut clips for viewing,

each of the one or more edits to transform data from one or more of the raw input feeds into the one or more of the plurality of final cut clips by

generating tags that identify highlights from signals, and

generating one or more variations of the final cut clips as a result of independent control and application of the editing processing logic to data from the one or more raw input feeds, and

wherein at least one of the raw input feeds includes video data and the editing processing logic comprises a plurality of stages, and further wherein the plurality of stages includes a first stage to create one or more rough cut versions of video data and a second stage to create one or more final cut versions of the video data from the one or more rough cut versions.

2. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the plurality of stages further includes an intermediary rough cut stage that assembles video data segments associated with highlights into a continuous clip.

3. The video editing system defined in claim 2 wherein material included in the raw cut and that is not part of the rough cut version is permanently discarded.

4. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein tags and a master highlight list are associated with at least one rough cut version.

5. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more rough-cut versions is created from raw video data based on one version of a highlight list and one set of editing parameters from interaction by at least one stakeholder.

6. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more final-cut versions is created from raw video data based on one version of a highlight list and one set of editing parameters from interaction by at least one stakeholder.

7. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of the one or more final-cut versions is created from one rough-cut version based on one version of a highlight list and one set of editing parameters from interaction by at least one stakeholder.

8. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing process generates multiple instantiations of both rough cut versions and final cut versions of the video data based on multiple instantiations of a highlight list generated via tagging.

9. The video editing system defined in claim 1 wherein the editing process generates multiple final cut versions from a single rough-cut version according to preferences of different stakeholders.

18. The video editing process defined in claim 11 wherein the edits generate multiple final cut versions from a signal rough-cut version according to a combination of preferences of two or more stakeholders.

19. An article of manufacture having one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by a system, causes the system to perform a video editing process comprising:

performing, with editing processing logic, on one or more raw input feeds, a plurality of different edits to render one or more final cut clips for viewing, including performing each of the one or more edits to transform data from one or more of the raw input feeds into the one or more of the plurality of final cut clips by
