Abstract: A computer video editing system and method in a network of computers is disclosed. The system and method include a datastore or other source of subject video data, a transcription module and an assembly member. The transcription module generates a working transcript of the corresponding audio data of subject source video data. The working transcript includes original source video time coding for the passages (statements) forming the transcript. The assembly member enables user selection and ordering of transcript portions. For each user selected transcript portion, the assembly member, in real-time, (i) obtains the respective corresponding source video data portion and (ii) combines the obtained video data portions to form a resulting video work. The resulting video work is displayed to users and may be displayed simultaneously with display of the whole original working transcript to enable further editing and/or user comment. A text script of the resulting video work is also displayed.
