Abstract
A method of modifying metadata associated with a media file is described the method comprising receiving a first media file; receiving a first metadata associated with the first media file; receiving an identifier of a second media file; and modifying the first metadata to include the identifier of the second media file.
Claims18
A method of associating media files comprising:
- (a) receiving at a user system, a second version file converted from a camera media stream wherein said second version file converted from a camera media stream has first metadata relating to a first version media file, and wherein the second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein the second version file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- (b) receiving at said user system, an additional second version file generated from said first version media file, wherein the additional second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein said additional second version file has second metadata relating to the first version media file, and wherein the additional second version file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- and
- (c) at said user system:
- (1) updating said first metadata with data from said second metadata, wherein the updated first metadata enables replacing said second version file with said additional second version file;
- and
- (2) replacing said second version file converted from a camera media stream with said additional second version file generated from said first version media file based on the updated first metadata and the second metadata, wherein the updated first metadata and the second metadata ensure that the second version file and the additional second version file can be matched to the first version media file.

A method of associating media files comprising:
- (a) receiving at a user system, a second version file generated by a camera wherein said second version file generated by a camera has first metadata relating to a first version media file also generated at said camera, and wherein the second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein the second version file has footage for which there is not corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- (b) receiving at said user system, an additional second version file generated from said first version media file, wherein the additional second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein said additional second version file has second metadata relating to the first version media file, and wherein the additional second version media file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- and
- (c) at said user system:
- (1) updating said first metadata with data from said second metadata, wherein the updated metadata enables replacing said second version file with said additional second version file;
- and
- (2) replacing said second version file generated by a camera with said additional second version file generated from said first version media file based on the updated first metadata and the second metadata, wherein the updated first metadata and the second metadata ensure that the second version file and the additional second version file can be matched to the first version media file.
4 more elements
A system for associating media files, comprising one or more computers programmed to implement the steps of:
- (a) receiving at a user system, a second version file generated by a camera wherein said second version file generated by a camera has first metadata relating to a first version media file also generated at said camera, and wherein the second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein the second version file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- (b) receiving, at said user system, an additional second version file generated from said first version media file, wherein the additional second version file has a different timecode or length than the first version media file, and wherein said additional second version file has second metadata relating to the first version media file, and wherein the additional second version file has footage for which there is no corresponding footage available in the first version media file;
- and
- (c) at said user system:
- (1) updating said first metadata with data from said second metadata, wherein the updated metadata enables replacing said second version file with said additional second version file;
- and
- (2) replacing said second version file generated by a camera with said additional second version file generated from said first version media file based on the updated first metadata and the second metadata, wherein the updated first metadata and the second metadata ensure that the second version file and the additional second version file can be matched to the first version media file.
