METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR EDITING MOVIES IN DISTRIBUTED SCALABLE MEDIA ENVIRONMENT

A network editor comprises a central location with stored movies that can be edited by editors at remote locations. An editor receives a representation of the movie, and specifies edits relative to the representation, enabling the editor to use a device lacking sufficient processing capability to edit the movie directly, and also reducing the volume of information transmitted between the central location and the remote editor. The central location is able to provide the edited movie in a format suitable to the display capabilities of the viewing device of the viewer requesting the edited movie.
