Abstract: The disclosed technology can seamlessly integrate consumers into a broadcaster's products and may seamlessly add broadcaster products to their consumer's social sharing. This technology allows broadcasters to define rules for filtering and modifying myriad user-generated content to be suitable for seamless integration in broadcast media. A broadcaster interface allows the broadcaster to select user-generated content in real-time for use within the broadcast presentation. The technology can accomplish this by receiving multiple pieces of user-generated content; curating the user-generated content with ratings, categorizations, or tags; verifying suitability of the user-generated content for broadcast media; and applying broadcaster-defined rules to modify eligible pieces of user-generated content into a form suitable for inclusion in broadcast media.

Abstract: Systems and methods for moderating branded content provided by users to an online content publishing and distribution network are described. In some embodiments, a content management system stores user-generated or user-created content, and creates and shares links associated to the user-generated content to online networks and other sites, where other users share, consume, and/or interact with the content (e.g., videos and other multimedia content).

Abstract: Systems and methods for applying visual effects to video in a client/server or cloud-based system are described. Using a web browser, for example, users can apply and control both simple and sophisticated effects with dynamic real-time previews without downloading client-side software. Rendering and previewing of the effects is done on the server and rendered images can be sent in rapid succession to the client, allowing simple, real-time feedback and control. Other aspects of the technology are also described.
