2. A media composition system for editing source material comprising:
-
storage for storing digitized video and audio source material digitized by digitizing apparatus; computing apparatus for manipulating the stored source material, wherein the computing apparatus is programmed to define, in response to user editing commands, a plurality of edited sequences that each include corresponding video and audio clips obtained from the video and audio source material, and wherein the computing apparatus is programmed to respond to a user trimming transitions between two of the video clips by adding source material from the audio source material corresponding to one of the audio clips to a first end of an audio segment from the audio clip when audio material is removed from the other end of the segment to maintain the length of the audio segment, such that the synchronization of video and audio clips subsequent to the two clips is maintained; and output apparatus communicating with the computing apparatus for displaying control information and the manipulated source material.
