Multimedia editing systems and methods therefor
First Claim
1. A method for editing multimedia content and creating derivative works from multimedia content comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a system including at least one remote media asset node (MAN) including MAN server computer(s) associated with at least one client for editing multimedia content (MMC), the at least one remote MAN constructed and configured in electronic communication over a network to a global media hub (GMH) having GMH server computer(s) having a processor, a memory, and software operable thereon to control the processes that act on the MMC at the MANs, the GMH operable for storing the metadata associated with the MMC, and the MANs operable for storing the MMC;
(b) from a user interface (UI) on a display coupled to the at least one remote MAN associated with a client site and positioned in geographic proximity to the client site, editing the MMC via the UI; and
(c) the GMH controlling all workflows at the MANs.

Abstract
A distributed system and methods for web-based multimedia content including a global media hub (GMH) server computer (500) and a multiplicity of remote media asset node (MAN) server computers (510, 520, 530, 540, 550) and client computer terminals (515, 525, 535, 536, 537, 545, 555), with the client or customer computers being constructed and configured for network-based coupling to at least one of the MAN server computers for editing a browse copy of the MMC stored at the MAN. The GMH server computer includes processing component, memory for storage of all the metadata, and includes software operable thereon for orchestrating the processes that act on the MMC and metadata, including the operations and actions that are initiated by the client computer terminals for acting on the MAN-based MMC.

5. A distributed system for editing multimedia content (MMC) comprising:
-
at least one remote MAN having MAN server computer(s) and associated with at least one client for editing MMC, the at least one remote MAN constructed and configured in electronic communication over a network to a global media hub (GMH) and GMH server computer(s) having software programs operable thereon to control all processes that act on the MMC at the MAN, and the GMH operable for centrally storing metadata associated with the MMC; and a user interface (UI) on a display at the client and coupled to the at least one remote MAN, the MAN being positioned in geographic proximity to the client and operable for acting on the MMC as controlled by the GMH for editing the MMC at the MAN. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
