Abstract

A system, method and apparatus for media submission. The submission mechanism is configurable to perform a variable amount of intelligent preprocessing on media objects prior to upload. In the example of digital images, the tool can perform sizing and formatting, for example.

Claims

1. A method, comprising the following computer implemented steps:

receiving an identification of one or more image files, video files or audio files to associate with said account;

receiving, by the client device, a confirmation of an intent to associate the one or more image files, video files or audio files with the account;

pre-processing the identified one or more image files, video files or audio files using pre-processing parameters received from a remote server, the received pre-processing parameters enabling the client device to pre-process the identified one or more image files, video files or audio files in a manner specified by a distributing party for transfer of content, which is based on the pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files, to one or more devices separate from the client device; and

transmitting the pre-processed one or more image files, video files or audio files.
