Annotations for production parts in a media production system
DCFirst Claim
1. A method for annotating an item in a user interface of a media production system, the method comprising:
- accepting signals from a user input device to select a part of a production in the media production system;
creating annotation information and an annotation marker, wherein the annotation marker comprises a customizable graphic image that is positioned for display to indicate that the annotation information is associated with the selected part of the production; and
storing the annotation information in association with the selected part of the production, wherein the annotation marker is displayed with the selected part of the production when the selected part of the production is displayed during use of the media production system.

Abstract
A system providing a user interface to annotate different items in a media production system such as in a digital non-linear post production system. Parts of the production, such as clips, frames and layers, that have an associated annotation are provided with a visual annotation marker. The annotation marker can use shape, color or animation to convey source, urgency, status or other information. Annotations can be text, freehand drawing, audio, or other. Annotations can be automatically generated. Annotations can be compiled into records, searched and transferred. A state of an application program can be stored and transferred to a remote system. The remote system attempts to recreate the original state of the application program. If the remote system is unable to do so, an image of the state of the application program is obtained, instead. Assignment of control to various functions of an application program is achieved by associating a function (i.e., modifying a parameter) with a user control at a remote location.
