The process of FIG. 5 can be processed in real time, and as a result, the time required for checking necessary data will be substantially zero from the viewpoint of the user, which is a customer, thereby increasing convenience in use.

The conventional process of editing the authored product online is to download all the files to be edited online and execute the necessary program on the user's client server to edit the composition by synthesizing the images, etc. Do rendering work for In this case, the size of the multimedia file is quite large, so it takes a lot of time to download, more than ten minutes to render the edited file, and a lot of time to upload the multimedia file back to the server. I couldn't.

However, in the online video editing method of step 110 according to the present invention, downloading a video stored in a server-optimized format to the client in real time as streaming data, and inputting attribute information on media into the video. And converting the video into steaming data so that the video can be previewed, converting the video into a form capable of hardware acceleration, and uploading the video to the server. This allows downloading to streaming data, so you can view it in real time, and greatly reduce the time for downloading and uploading by changing the format to suit the hardware environment of the server or client.

Figure 6 shows the flow of a preferred method of the online video editing method at this time. In this method, the user downloads the edited video from the server in a preview format as streaming data to identify a part to be edited (600), and when the part to be edited by the user is determined, the step of downloading only by designating the part ( 610, editing the downloaded part 620, rendering only the edited part 630, uploading the rendered part to the server 640, and uploading the uploaded part. Replacing 650 with previous data to generate a video partially edited by the user (650).

Through this, after confirming the part to be edited in advance, only the part to be edited is downloaded, and only the part is edited and rendered. In addition, since only the portion that is rendered is uploaded, the work time can be significantly reduced as compared to the conventional method. The above methods are executed in the application server 200, the application server 200 retrieves the necessary data from the database server 210 to use.

Synchronization takes place from client to server. Since the speed in this direction is slower than the speed from the server to the client, it is necessary to synchronize so that the transmission process is the key to the overall processing rather than the comparison above.

The title data structure when producing a title as multimedia content in step 120 includes a menu information file name, a screen mode attribute, an intro frame name, a main frame name, a menu frame name, and a viewer. Title information file and icon information including frame name, ending frame name, subroutine name, slide name, output effect, background music index, wallpaper index, frame expression index, title composition A frame information list including a minimum multimedia list required, the title being organized in module units having the information including the title information file and the frame information list as described above, and allowing the user to configure the title by a combination of modules. It is desirable to.

For example, when configuring one frame, the integrated frame index 1 is generated by designating the background index 1, the frame index 1, and the menu index 1 with the same index. Through this, the entire title is composed of module units having only the above information, and the user can compose the title through the combination, thereby increasing productivity.
