1. A system for adding content to video with a time duration, comprising:
- a content server that receives, from an author computing device, a layout for media with a time duration and media without a time duration, the content server assigning a layout identifier to the layout;
a content database, in operable communication with the content server, that stores the layout according to the layout identifier and that stores content synchronization data received, from the author computing device, for the layout, the content synchronization data having a location of the media with the time duration, a set of content, a content start time, and a content end time, the content start time being a time in the media with the time duration at which play of the content is to start, the content end time being a time in the media with the time duration at which the play of the content is to end;
a processor, in operable communication with the content server, that receives a request for the layout according to the layout identifier from a media player, retrieves the content synchronization data associated with the layout identifier, automatically generates a manifest comprising JAVASCRIPT Object Notation code according to the content synchronization data for the layout, and sends the manifest to a media player that automatically generates HyperText Markup Language code such that a computing device implements the HyperText Markup Language code to render the layout on a display device in operable communication with the computing device and perform a synchronized playback based upon the manifest.

Abstract
A system is provided. The system includes a content database that stores content synchronization data received from a graphical user interface. The content synchronization data has a location of media, a set of content, a content start time, and a content end time. The content start time is a time in the media at which play of the content is to start. The content end time is a time in the media at which the play of the content is to end.

7. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer useable medium having a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
receive, at a content server from an author computing device, a layout for media with a time duration and media without a time duration; assign, at the content server, a layout identifier to the layout; store, at a content database, the layout according to the layout identifier; store, at the content database, content synchronization data received, from the author computing device, for the layout, the content synchronization data having a location of the media with the time duration, a set of content, a content start time, and a content end time, the content start time being a time in the media with the time duration at which play of the content is to start, the content end time being a time in the media with the time duration at which the play of the content is to end; receive, at the content server, a request for the layout according to the layout identifier from a media player; retrieve, at the content server, the content synchronization data associated with the layout identifier; automatically generate, with a processor in operable communication with the content server, a manifest comprising a first set of computer executable code according to the content synchronization data for the layout; and send the manifest to a media player that automatically generates a second set of computer executable code such that a computing device implements the second set of computer executable code to render the layout on a display device in operable communication with the computing device and perform a synchronized playback based upon the manifest, the second set of computer executable code being distinct from the first set of computer executable code. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
