TLDR
In this article, a system for generating a composite video having a plurality of video assets is described. But the system is limited to a single video asset and does not support the generation of video data from multiple video assets.Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating a composite video having a plurality of video assets are provided. Systems may include storage having a plurality of video assets, a metadata generator, and a composite video generator. The metadata generator processes respective ones of the video assets to generate a metadata track representative of information that is descriptive of the content of the video asset. The composite video generator receives a plurality of metadata tracks and, in response, processes the associated video assets and the metadata tracks to generate a composite video asset having video data from the video assets. The composite video asset may have a metadata list panel that presents information representative of the metadata information as video data appearing within the composite video asset. The metadata list panel visually presents the sequence of video assets in the composite video asset.read more
