Abstract: A web based system for creating video compositions has a network connected interface generator for providing web pages to a user coupled to the network. A content library stores video clips and optionally images for use in creating the video composition or a sequence of video clips and/or images. A project database contains metadata for one or more projects that are being edited by a user via the network, and a rendering engine provides down resolutioned previews of a user selected project for viewing by a user via the network.

Abstract: A system and method use a video transform to produce an intermediate pixel transform file representative of a video effect. The intermediate pixel transform file is applied to a frame of one or more input video streams to generate a frame for a streaming video with the video effect. The intermediate pixel transform file may be stored with stock video in an effect library and used to provide real time streaming video with complex effects in an efficient manner.

Abstract: A distributed group activity network system and corresponding method over a computer network. It synchronizes and provides access by system users to shared data files of a group activity. The distributed group activity network system comprises one or more server computers and client computers that are connected to the server computer(s) by network connections. Each of the server computers comprises a network server and a memory system. The network server runs on the server computer and provides basic network services that are available at the server computer. The memory systems of the server computers store synchronization files and shared data files of the group activity. Each of the client computers comprises a memory system and a system module running on the client computer.
