Abstract
A content presentation system is disclosed for composing a visual scene for an audience using content contained in a storage device, and storing the visual appearance of the scene for later retrieval and recreation by the presentation system. Scenes are recalled in a manner that permits further manipulation of the scene during the live presentation. Scenes can furthermore be recalled in random order, or cued to time-based media such as video, modifying existing elements in the staging area to the extent necessary to recreate the stored scene.

A method for presenting displayable content to an audience, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a staging area on a presentation display connected to a computer and visible to said audience,
- playing back timecoded media to said audience in a multimedia window hosted in said staging area, and
- while said timecoded media is being played back, at a predetermined timecode within said timecoded media,
- retrieving from a database connected to said computer scene information representing a visual state of said staging area, said scene information comprising a data structure for an image window to be hosted in said staging area according to said visual state, said data structure including information for retrieving from a storage source image data to be presented in said image window, information regarding a visual appearance of said image window relative to said staging area, and information regarding a visual appearance of said image data relative to said image window,
- placing within said staging area said image window for displaying said image data, positioning and sizing said image window relative to said staging area according to said information regarding said visual appearance of said image window, and
- placing within said image window a depiction of said image data, positioning and sizing said depiction relative to said image window according to said information regarding said visual appearance of said image data,
- wherein said timecoded media has been transcribed as a text transcript comprising a transcript line, wherein said transcript line has been associated with a playback time within said timecoded media, wherein said visual state has been associated with said transcript line, and wherein said predetermined timecode within said timecoded media is derived from said playback time of said transcript line.
