Abstract
In one aspect, an example method includes (i) accessing, by a computing system, data associated with a program schedule for a video program; (ii) based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item; (iii) providing, by the computing system, a user interface that (i) outputs the selected SM content item, and facilitates modifying the program schedule such that the program schedule refers to the selected SM content item; (iv) based on the modified program schedule, generating, by the computing system, video content that includes the selected SM content item; and (v) transmitting, by the computing system, to another computing system, the generated video content for presentation of the generated video content on the other computing system.
Claims20
A method for use in connection with a computing system comprising a video-production system (VPS) configured to facilitate production of a video program, the method comprising:
- accessing, by the computing system, data associated with a program schedule for the video program, wherein the program schedule is an outline of the video program and includes a plurality of records, each record corresponding to a respective portion of the video program, wherein the VPS is configured to process the plurality of records, and wherein processing a record of the plurality of records comprises performing one or more operations corresponding to the respective portion of the video program;
- based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item;
- providing, by the computing system, a user interface that (i) outputs the selected SM content item, and (ii) facilitates modifying the program schedule such that the program schedule refers to the selected SM content item;
- based on the modified program schedule, generating, by the computing system, a video program that includes the selected SM content item;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing system, to an end-user device, the generated video program for presentation of the generated video program on the end-user device.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:
- accessing, by a computing system, data associated with a program schedule for a video program, wherein the computing system comprises a video-production system (VPS) configured to facilitate production of the video program, wherein the program schedule is an outline of the video program and includes a plurality of records, each record corresponding to a respective portion of the video program, wherein the VPS is configured to process the plurality of records, and wherein processing a record of the plurality of records comprises performing one or more operations corresponding to the respective portion of the video program;
- based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item;
- providing, by the computing system, a user interface that (i) outputs the selected SM content item, and (ii) facilitates modifying the program schedule such that the program schedule refers to the selected SM content item;
- based on the modified program schedule, generating, by the computing system, a video program that includes the selected SM content item;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing system, to an end-user device, the generated video program for presentation of the generated video program on the end-user device.
A computing system configured for performing a set of acts, wherein the computing system comprises a video-production system (VPS) configured to facilitate production of a video program, and wherein the set of acts comprises:
- accessing, by the computing system, data associated with a program schedule for the video program, wherein the program schedule is an outline of the video program and includes a plurality of records, each record corresponding to a respective portion of the video program, wherein the VPS is configured to process the plurality of records, and wherein processing a record of the plurality of records comprises performing one or more operations corresponding to the respective portion of the video program;
- based on the accessed data, selecting, by the computing system, a social media (SM) content item;
- providing, by the computing system, a user interface that (i) outputs the selected SM content item, and (ii) facilitates modifying the program schedule such that the program schedule refers to the selected SM content item;
- based on the modified program schedule, generating, by the computing system, a video program that includes the selected SM content item;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing system, to an end-user device, the generated video program for presentation of the generated video program on the end-user device.
