Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for automatically digitally transforming and editing video files to produce a finished video presentation. The method includes the steps of receiving from a user a selection of video clips to be made into the finished video presentation, automatically trimming the selected video clips, and automatically assembling the trimmed video clips into the finished presentation. Preferably, the method further comprises the steps of receiving a master video clip and automatically replacing portions of the master video clip with the trimmed video clips. In addition audio and visual effects may be added to the finished video presentation. Computer apparatus for performing these steps is also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for receiving at a computer identification of a product or service that is to be the subject of a video presentation, generating at the computer step-by-step guidance to a user specific to the subject of the video presentation on what to say in the video presentation, when to say it and how to record the subject of the video presentation, providing the step-by-step guidance from the computer to the user, receiving the video presentation at the computer and editing the video presentation at the computer. In some embodiments, the presentation is automatically processed to enhance it by combining it with additional audiovisual material, to compress it, to format it for Internet or broadcast delivery, and/or to route it for Internet or broadcast delivery. Computer apparatus for performing these steps is also described.
