System and method for collaborative web-based multimedia layered platform with recording and selective playback of content

A computer system for creating a collaborative file in a shared network comprising:

• one or more user machines in a shared space, wherein the shared space is created by interaction of executable codes in a host and a user application and the shared space is described by a session attribute list;
• executable code for loading a media application with tools into one or more user machines;
• executable code for using a stage manager tool from the media application to stage and correlating one or more media-layer events according to spatial, temporal and relational coordinate data in the user application, wherein the one or more media-layer events are described by at least a user, media-layer event designation, time and command;
• a recorder for storing one or more multi type media layers and the associated user, media-layer event designation, time and command;
• a playback device having inputs from at least one or more of a filter device, a search device, a skip/jump device, a recorder or a database server, for accessing said media-layer event based upon a user, media-layer event designation, time and command;
• and
• an output device for selective viewing of said media-layer event based upon a user, media-layer event designation, time and command.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions for creating a collaborative file in a shared network space comprising the steps of:

• accessing one or more user machines in a shared space, wherein the shared space is created by interaction of executable codes in a host and a user application and the shared space is described by a session attribute list;
• loading a media application with tools into one or more user machines;
• using a stage manager tool from the media application to stage and correlating one or more media-layer events according to spatial, temporal and relational coordinate data in the user application, wherein the media-layer events are described by at least a user, a media-layer event designation, a time and command;
• recording one or more of media-layer events and the associated user, media-layer event designation, time and command;
• and
• accessing said one or more of media-layer events based upon one or more of the associated user, media-layer event designation, time and command;
• and
• playing back the recording utilizes utilizing the user, media-layer event designation, time and command as parameters in association with one of a filter device, a search device or a skip/jump device.
