Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing a slideshow representation of video content. The method includes storing video content in memory, playing the video content in real time, capturing a plurality of still images from the content as the video content is played to provide a set of captured images, selecting a plurality of the captured images to generate a series of selected images, and generating the slideshow based on the selected images.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a profile for a user, the profile having digital creative content associated therewith, and the user having rights in the digital creative content, selecting digital creative content associated with the profile from digital memory, generating a widget in a graphical user interface to advertise the digital creative content, and displaying the digital creative content within the widget based on a criteria selected from a plurality of criteria.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of verifying the age and/or identity of a participant in a digital creative work to be published includes storing a participant profile in memory, confirming a date of birth (DOB) input by the participant in the participant profile, and identifying the digital creative work. A date of production (DOP) associated with the creative work is determined, an age at the time of production (ATOP) for the participant is determined based on DOB and DOP, and the digital creative work is published over a network, if the ATOP exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Implementations of a computer-implemented method of modifying visual content include selecting visual content to be modified from a plurality of visual content stored in digital memory, presenting the visual content in a software-based tool for modifying the visual content and identifying at least one feature within the visual content for cover-up. At least one blocking graphic is placed over the at least one feature within the visual content to provide modified visual content, and the modified visual content is stored.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of managing royalties for the online sale of a creative work includes selecting a digital creative work for sale from a plurality of digital creative works stored in digital memory, assigning a royalty scheme from a plurality of royalty schemes to the digital creative work, and identifying at least one royalty party from a plurality of royalty parties. A royalty rate is assigned to the at least one royalty party, the royalty rate conforming to the royalty scheme, and a royalty payment to the at least one royalty party is automatically calculated based on the royalty rate, upon the occurrence of an online sale of the digital creative work.
