Abstract: A method for managing video data in a storage system (10), the video data comprising frames, and a storage system (10) configured to perform the method are described. The storage system (10) comprises a first input (11) configured to receive (1) one or more frames for storage. A storage more frames unit (12) stores (2) the one or more frames, whereas a unique identifier generator (13) associates (3) a unique identifier to each of the one or more frames. The storage system (10) further comprises a processor (14) configured to generate (4) a modified frame by processing one or more frames or to receive a modified frame generated externally. The unique identifier generator (13) associates (5) a derived unique identifier to such a modified frame, which comprises references to the unique identifiers of the one or more processed frames.

Abstract: A method for determining data enabling generation of a user profile and an apparatus configured to perform the method are described. The apparatus comprises an analyzer for analyzing one or more available images to determine image metadata related to at least one of colorimetric data and data about image capturing conditions. The determined image metadata are then made available to a user profile generator via a data interface.

Abstract: A customized color transformation is generated in response to interactive user manipulation of source and target color gamuts. Data related to a first and to a second color gamut are loaded. An initial color transformation is selected. Based on this transformation, color transformation values are calculated, which are adapted for transforming a subset of values of the first color gamut into a corresponding subset of values of the second one. Visual representations of the first and the second color gamut and the calculated color transformation values are displayed in at least one display box of a user interface of a tool adapted for interactive color manipulation. The color transformation values are recalculated and the displayed visual representations are updated in response to a user manipulation applied to at least one of the visual representations of the first and of the second color gamut.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for preparing video assets for processing are described. Via an input (21) a list of video assets required for processing is retrieved (10). A source locator (23) determines (11) source locations of the required video assets. A data handling unit (26) then makes (12) the required video assets available at a target location.
