Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0036516A1] A network-based system (30) is provided for processing multimedia information. A server, preferably a group of servers (20, 22, 24), are coupled to the network and each incorporates a multimedia toolkit (34) or engine enabling creation, editing, viewing, and management of multimedia objects, such as files, including at least one of video, images, sound and animation. Each server includes storage for multimedia objects. A client (30), preferably a personal computer and preferably a plurality of clients, having access to the network each incorporate a multimedia-editing interface (32), preferably a graphic user interface (GUI), enabling the client to send multimedia processing commands through the network to the server from among a predefined set of multimedia processing commands. Preferably, a client can send a series of commands at a one time and each of several clients can send commands to be performed on the same object. The multimedia engine in each server acts on received multimedia processing commands from one or more clients by performing corresponding processing operations on multimedia objects previously stored by a client in the server's storage, and the server makes the processed multimedia objects available to clients over the network.
