Abstract
A system and tool set provide a media exchange environment which facilitates motion picture, still photo and audio usage by allowing the editing and playing of streaming media presentations from potentially several remote libraries. A combined multimedia presentation is then streamed to a user. The system also supports media rights management, and represents what permissions the user must obtain in connection with a contemplated multimedia presentation.
