  • Publication number: 20070118800
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically integrated capture, collection, authoring, presentation and production of digital content are provided. According to one embodiment, a user interface automatically captures and collects digital content as the digital content is viewed by a user. The user interface includes features for the user to author some or all of the collected digital content. A further embodiment of the user interface formats the digital content in the presentation band for previewing in a variety of production formats, including as a web page, webshow, digital video disk “DVD”) and/or printbook. The user interface then allows the user to save the presentation and/or produce the presentation at a production facility.
