Abstract

There is provided a system and method for creating video poetry using text based related media. There is provided a method for creating a video poetry media, the method comprising receiving an ordered list of text phrases selected from a defined plurality of text phrases, presenting a plurality of video clips, wherein each of the plurality of video clips is associated with one or more of the ordered list of text phrases, receiving an ordered list of video clips selected from the plurality of video clips, and generating the video poetry media using the ordered list of video clips. In this manner, the barrier of entry for creating video poetry media is reduced, encouraging increased user participation and the creation of the “viral” effect by sharing video poetry online. Positive publicity for associated brands and media properties and additional channels for commercial promotions are thereby provided.

Claims

1. A method for creating a unified video clip, the method comprising:

presenting a user interface that displays a plurality of pre-defined words to a user for the user to select from for forming a sentence;

receiving an ordered list of pre-defined words selected by the user from the plurality of pre-defined words to form the sentence;

presenting a plurality of video clips to the user, wherein each of the plurality of video clips includes a content having a concept representing at least one pre-defined word from the ordered list of pre-defined words;

receiving an ordered list of video clips selected by the user from the plurality of video clips; and

generating the unified video clip using the ordered list of video clips, wherein the generating includes automatically creating a label for the unified video clip using the ordered list of pre-defined words selected by the user for the unified video clip.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is associated with a selected category.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is extracted from associated tags of a linked media.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is associated with a creative property.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving of the ordered list of pre-defined words is by the user interface supporting at least one of dragging-and-dropping and typing with auto completion.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the descriptive caption is manually adjustable.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the presenting of the plurality of video clips is grouped based on the respective at least one pre-defined words with which each of the plurality of video clips is associated.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating of the unified video clip is affected by a grammatical structure of the ordered list of pre-defined words.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating of the unified video clip media applies at least one of fading, mixing, transitions, effects, and music to smoothly integrate the ordered list of video clips.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein a respective length of each of the plurality of video clips corresponds to each of the pre-defined words selected by the user.

11. A system for creating a unified video clip media, the system comprising:

a display; and

a hardware processor that;

presents, on the display, a user interface that provides a plurality of pre-defined words to a user for the user to select from for forming a sentence;

receives an ordered list of pre-defined words selected by the user from the plurality of pre-defined words to form the sentence;

presents, on the display, a plurality of video clips to the user, wherein each of the plurality of video clips includes a content having a concept representing at least one pre-defined word from the ordered list of pre-defined words;

receives an ordered list of video clips selected by the user from the plurality of video clips; and

generates the unified video clip using the ordered list of video clips, wherein the generating includes automatically creating a label for the unified video clip using the ordered list of pre-defined words selected by the user for the unified video clip.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is associated with a selected category.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is extracted from associated tags of a linked media.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein the plurality of pre-defined words is associated with a creative property.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the user interface supports at least one of dragging-and-dropping and typing with auto completion.

16. The system of claim 11, wherein the descriptive caption is manually adjustable.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the user interface presents the plurality of video clips grouped based on the respective at least one pre-defined word with which each of the plurality of video clips is associated.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the user interface generates the unified video clip affected by a grammatical structure of the ordered list of pre-defined words.

19. The system of claim 11, wherein the user interface generates the unified video clip using at least one of fading, mixing, transitions, effects, and music to smoothly integrate the ordered list of video clips.

20. The system of claim 11, wherein a respective length of each of the plurality of video clips corresponds to each of the pre-defined words selected by the user.
