The system presents a producer interface to a user that allows the user to query for social content items. The user may then select and arrange social content items in an on-air queue. In an on-air mode, the system generates a broadcast-ready on-air format of the social content items and provides a video stream including the broadcast-ready social content items in the on-air queue to a video production system. The broadcast-ready social content items are incorporated into a produced video by the video production system. The user may navigate through the social content items in the on-air queue while on camera as part of the produced video. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method in a computing system of generating graphics content for inclusion in a produced video, the method comprising: retrieving, by a computing system, a set of social content items from a social media platform; receiving, by the computing system, a selection of one or more social content items from the retrieved set of social content items for inclusion in an on-air queue; identifying, by the computing system, a format template for each social content item in the on-air queue based on a type of retrieved social content item; receiving, by the computing system, a selection of a social content item from the on-air queue to include in a produced video; generating, by the computing system using a corresponding format template, an on-air format graphic for the social content item selected from the on-air queue; and transmitting, by the computing system, the generated on-air format graphic to be included in the produced video. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving a selection of a social content item from the on-air queue to include in the produced video further comprises: receiving, by the computing system, a navigation command to move from the selected social content item in the on-air queue to a second social content item in the on-air queue; generating, by the computing system using a corresponding format template, an on-air format graphic for the second social content item from the on-air queue; and transmitting, by the computing system, the generated on-air format graphic associated with the second social content item to be included in the produced video. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the navigation command is selected from the group consisting of a forward command, a back command, and a play command. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the produced video is a broadcast television video or a live streaming video. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein retrieving the set of social content items from the social media platform includes: receiving, by the computing system, a set of query parameters; and transmitting, by the computing system to the social media platform, a query based on the set of query parameters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a type of retrieved social content item comprises whether the social content item includes only text or includes text and an image. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the format template specifies a graphic identifying the social media platform from which the social content item was retrieved. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the format template further specifies a font and a location for a posting date associated with the social content item. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the format template further specifies a font and a location for an author associated with the social content item. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the format template specifies a location for graphics contained in the social content item or a text font and locations for text contained in the social content item. ### Claim 11 A system for generating graphics content for inclusion in a produced video, the system comprising: a content collection engine configured to retrieve social content items from a social media platform; a talent interface engine configured to: receive a selection of one or more social content items from the retrieved social content items for inclusion in an on-air queue; receive navigation commands from a user for navigating the on-air queue of social content items, the navigation commands including receiving a selection of a social content item from the on-air queue to include in a produced video; and generate, using a format template, an on-air format graphic for the social content item selected from the on-air queue; and a video generation engine configured to generate a video graphic signal that includes the on-air format graphic, the video graphic signal being provided to a video production system to generate a produced video. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the navigation command is selected from the group consisting of a forward command, a back command, and a play command. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the produced video is a broadcast television video or a live streaming video. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the format template specifies a graphic identifying the social media platform from which the social content item was retrieved. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the format template further specifies a font and a location for a posting date associated with the social content item. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The system of claim 14, wherein the format template further specifies a font and a location for an author associated with the social content item. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the format template specifies a location for graphics contained in the social content item or a text font and locations for text contained in the social content item. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, further comprising an author notification engine configured to transmit a notification to an author of a social content item once the social content item is included in the produced video. ### Claim 19 A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform actions for generating graphics content for inclusion in a produced video, the actions comprising: retrieving, by a computing system, a set of social content items from a social media platform; receiving, by the computing system, a selection of one or more social content items from the retrieved set of social content items for inclusion in an on-air queue; identifying, by the computing system, a format template for each social content item in the on-air queue based on a type of retrieved social content item; receiving, by the computing system, a selection of a social content item from the on-air queue to include in a produced video; generating, by the computing system using a corresponding format template, an on-air format graphic for the social content item selected from the on-air queue; and transmitting, by the computing system, the generated on-air format graphic to be included in the produced video. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein receiving a selection of a social content item from the on-air queue to include in the produced video further comprises: receiving, by the computing system, a navigation command to move from the selected social content item in the on-air queue to a second social content item in the on-air queue; generating, by the computing system using a corresponding format template, an on-air format graphic for the second social content item from the on-air queue; and transmitting, by the computing system, the generated on-air format graphic associated with the second social content item to be included in the produced video.
