Abstract

See full text

A software architecture and framework based on plug-in software modules supports flexible handling of synchronous data streams by media production and editing applications. Plug-ins called by the applications convert data from synchronous data streams into a form that enables a user of such an application to view and edit time-synchronous data contained within such data streams. The synchronous data is displayed in a temporally aligned manner in a synchronous data track within a timeline display of the application user interface. In one example, closed caption data extracted from the ancillary portion of a video signal is displayed as text on a data track temporally synchronized with the source video track. Other plug-ins analyze media tracks to generate time-synchronous data which may also be displayed in a temporally aligned manner within a synchronous data track in a timeline.
