Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, if multiple editors were to open the same project file, they would all face confusion, making it difficult to tell which editor was editing what and who should have modification rights to which metadata

Embodiment Construction

[0034] The present invention is a system and method that enables applications such as Apple's Final Cut Pro ? NLE systems such as video editing programs that would otherwise provide a means for storing a video editing "project" as a single "consolidated" file can be used in a collaborative editing environment. According to normal and generally accepted practice, when using such NLE programs and storing their project data, it is not possible to give different editors control over different parts of the same project, because at the file system level of the computing environment, those NLE applications will Items are defined as metadata contained in only a single file.

[0035] That is, unlike AVID ? Non-linear editing application, Apple's Final Cut Pro ? Store all its binaries in a single file, where AVID ? A "project" of a non-linear editing application consists of metadata including "clips" and sequences and binary files that all refer to discrete media files and the projec...

Abstract

A novel system, method and computer program product for accessing digital media files stored in a media storage device via a server device in communication with the media storage device. The method provides a Project Sharing feature for enabling collaborative sharing of Non Linear Editing (NLE) Projects, even though the NLE application might normally define and save Projects as a single monolithic project file. The system and method provides a file directory and symlink scheme that allows ALL editors who are ''members'' of a Project Space to see all the bins created by all other editors, but controlling the WRITE ACCESS to the bins according to whose ''User Folder'' the bins resided in, i.e., a user-based locking scheme is provided to allow control over who can and cannot write to a file. The system and method further treats a single monolithic project file as a collection of smaller Project files, the permissions and ownerships of which could each be controlled independently.

Description

Background technique [0001] US Patent Publication No. 20060184673 A1 describes an apparatus and method by which a non-linear video editing "Project" (such as, for example, a non-linear video editing (NLE) application by Avid Those "projects" created) can be converted into a Shared Avid Project (Shared Avid Project), thereby enabling two or more video editors to collaborate safely and efficiently, allowing all editors to see what their colleagues are editing and There is no danger of one editor overwriting another editor's work. [0002] The use of the "symbolic link" virtualization scheme described in US Patent Publication No. 20060184673 A1 enables collaborative storage systems to build a ? Non-linear video editors such as HD non-linear editing (NLE) applications share the same "project" structure in addition to sharing the same media files. in AVID ? In the context of nonlinear editing, a "project" consists of metadata including "clips" and sequences and binaries (bins) ...
