selecting out of the selected set a selected scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities in response to a second characteristic of the scribble.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 8, wherein the second characteristic is responsive to a content of at least one media entity of the group of media entities.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 5, that stores instructions for extracting characteristics of the scribble;

selecting a selected set of scribble-selected media editing commands in response to a first characteristic of the scribble;

presenting to a person media editing commands that belong to the selected set; and

receiving from the person the selection parameter.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, comprising receiving an editing theme;

and wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one scribble-selected media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble and to the editing theme.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, that stores instructions for segmenting the scribble to scribble segments, searching for a match between each scribble segment and a predetermined scribble segments associated with scribble-selected media editing commands, and selecting a scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities if the scribble-selected media editing command is associated with a predetermined scribble segments that matches one of the scribble segments.

13. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 that stores instructions for extracting a characteristic of the scribble and selecting a selected scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities if the selected scribble-selected media editing command is associated with the characteristic of the scribble.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, that stores instructions for extracting a first characteristic and a second characteristic of a set of scribbles, the first characteristic is indicative of a target media entity of the group of media entities and the second characteristic is indicative of an effect to be triggered by the target media entity;

and applying a media editing command that applies the effect when triggered by the target media entity.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1, comprising receiving a set of scribbles;

and applying at least one media editing commands on the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one scribble-selected media editing command that is selected in response to a combination of at least two scribbles of the set of scribbles.

16. A method for scribble based editing, the method comprises:

receiving a group of media entities;

receiving a scribble; and

applying media editing commands on the group of the media entities to provide a media stream, wherein the media editing commands comprise at least one scribble-selected media editing command that is selected in response to the scribble.

17. The method according to claim 16, comprising searching for a match between a scribble and a predetermined scribble associated with scribble-selected media editing commands, and selecting a scribble-selected media editing command to be applied on the group of media entities if the scribble-selected media editing command is associated with a predetermined scribble that matches one of the scribble segments

18. The method according to claim 17, wherein the searching for a match comprises applying a descriptor based matching algorithm.

19. The method according to claim 17, wherein the searching for a match comprises applying a shape based matching algorithm.
