Abstract
There is provided herein a method of defining and storing remixing of existing musical and video works. As a first step, various segments of a digital song or video work are identified, preferably in terms of their starting and ending times. Given the defined loops or video clips, the user next forms a remix of the selected song/video work using those components. The final product, i.e., the resulting remix, can then be completely specified in terms of the loop/clip definitions together with the time at which each of the defined loops/clips appears in the final mix. The remix can thus be compactly stored as a computer file.
Claims6
A method of storing a remixed video work, wherein is provided a base video work and a plurality of video loops drawn therefrom, each of said plurality of video loops having at least a starting time and an ending time within said base video work associated therewith, comprising the steps of:
- (a) using at least a portion of said video of loops to form a remixed video work,
- (a1) wherein said remixed video work consists of at least one display window,
- (a2) wherein at least one of said at least one display windows is for playing at least two of said plurality of video loops therein, and,
- (a3) wherein each of said plurality of loops used in said remixed video work has at least a starting time within said remixed video work associated therewith;
- (b) determining at least a remix starting time associated with each occurrence of each of said plurality of video loops used in said remixed video work;
- (c) storing on computer readable media values representative of each remix starting time determined in step (b);
- and,
- (d) storing on computer readable media values representative of said starting time and said ending time within said base video work of said loops used to form said remixed video work, thereby storing a representation of said remixed video work.
