Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving a render request from a client device, the render request specifying that a first media frame be generated based on a second media frame that is stored by a source machine communicatively coupled to the client device; determining, by one or more processors, whether a render machine is selected to generate the first media frame, wherein determining whether the render machine is selected to generate the first media frame is based on a position within a media timeline to be associated with the first media frame, wherein the media timeline is associated with a media content accessed for editing; initiating, by the one or more processors, generation of the first media frame by the render machine communicatively coupled to the source machine, the render machine accessing the second media frame from the source machine and generating the first media frame based on the second media frame in response to the received render request, wherein the render machine is selected to generate the first media frame when the position within the media timeline to be associated with the first media frame is distant from a current position within the media timeline; and communicating the generated first media frame to the client device in response to the received render request, wherein the generated first media frame communicated to the client device is directly accessible to one or more additional client devices from the client device prior to the first media frame being communicated to the source machine.
