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: The disclosed technology employs systems and methods that use, for example, location data, time data, social media actions, or social preferences to deliver (e.g., in real time) targeted advertising content or media. This advertising content or media can be merged with user-generated media, forming a unified media object having greater value to users, advertisers, and content partners. These unified media objects can then be shared to the benefit of all parties. Furthermore, the disclosed technology may also use location, time, and/or social data to deliver (e.g., in real time) targeted visual or audio effects (or treatments) that can modify and enhance such user-generated media, prior to sharing it. This platform has the benefit that the effects applied are more relevant and engaging to both the user and the viewers of the user's 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.

Abstract: This application describes a system and associated methods for enabling users of video editing, compositing, motion graphics, and other applications to easily store and retrieve presets, have presets modified for compatibility with other applications, share presets with each other, and search for shared presets. The users may utilize different applications that store presets according to different application-specific schemas. The system can automatically translate or conform presets from one application-specific schema to a neutral schema and from the neutral schema to another application-specific schema. This allows a user of one application to share his or her presets with users of different applications. Among other things, this cross-application sharing of presets allows the system implementor to create one user community (e.g., of users of different applications), rather than several individual ones (e.g., an individual user community for each different application).

Abstract: An approach is provided for generating composite media and delivering the composite media to a client application. Data is received from one or more external sources, and a portion of the data is selected to be used in the composite media according to the time period of delivery of the client application, user information, or the type of client application requesting the media, if a request has been made. The selected data is integrated into a pre-created template to generate the composite media, such as an advertisement, special offers, or weather and stock information. The composite media may be modified prior to being delivered to the client application. The selection of the pre-created template and the modification of the composite media are made according to requirements of the client application, user information, or the type of client application (e.g., gaming application) requesting the media.

Abstract: An advertisement delivery scheme and associated facility provide targeted advertisements for multiple video games without advertisers having to specify specific game titles in which they would like their advertisements placed. The targeted advertisements may be provided via a network connection while the video game applications are executed on gaming devices, or via other means. Advertisements may be targeted to groupings of one or more games, and or groupings of one or more players. Data about the presentation of advertisements, such as impression data, may be collected and reported on, along with other information tracked through a game playing device.
