CLIENT SIDE EDITING APPLICATION FOR OPTIMIZING EDITING OF MEDIA ASSETS ORIGINATING FROM CLIENT AND SERVER

摘要

Apparatus for client-side editing of media assets in a client-server architecture is provided. In one example, a user of a client device uses an editor to edit local and remote media assets in an on-line environment (e.g., via a web browser), where media assets originating locally may be edited without delays for uploading the media assets to a remote storage. The apparatus includes logic (e.g., software) for generating an edit instruction in response to user input, the edit instruction associated with a media asset stored locally, and upload logic for transmitting at least a portion of the media asset to a remote storage subsequent to selecting a local media object for editing. The portion of the media asset transmitted to the remote storage may be based on the edit instruction, e.g., transmitting only the portions being edited.
