Claim Text:
1. A method of editing a multi-channel media composition, the method comprising: receiving an indication of a plurality of input channels, wherein each input channel of the plurality of input channels includes metadata that explicitly specifies a spatial range and a color range for media data associated with the input channel, wherein media data is captured from a scene, and wherein the metadata is independent of media data captured from the scene; using the metadata to align the plurality of input channels with respect to each other within a common spatial coordinate system and a common color space according to the spatial ranges and the color ranges specified by the metadata of each of the plurality of input channels; and providing a graphical user interface for a multi-channel media editing system to enable a user of the multi-channel media editing system to specify an output view for the multi-channel media composition by selecting: wherein media data that is captured from the scene and associated with one of the plurality of input channels and that falls within the selected output spatial range and the selected output color range is associated with the output view, wherein the selected output color range spans a portion of the color range for media data associated with at least one of the plurality of input channels.
