Abstract: A computer-implemented video method includes receiving a first digital video file and a second digital video file; recognizing the first digital video file as a beginning scene and the second digital video file as an ending scene; receiving a user input to record a middle scene, wherein the beginning scene, the middle scene, and the ending scene being configured to form a full video; and responsive to a user input to record, providing a real-time queue for the recording by sequentially, in real-time: 1) first, playing the beginning scene within a first preview window on the video display; 2) second, recording the middle scene and simultaneously displaying the middle scene within a video capture window on the video display; and 3) third, playing the ending scene within a second preview window on the video display.
