Patent ID: 8761580

Claim:
A method for creating new video content by compositing two video streams in real time to create new video content comprising the steps of: using software to manually insert at least one template which appears as an outline shape into a video; adjusting the at least one template by positioning and scaling it into a desired position which represents both a physical location and a temporal location within the video thereby creating a first video stream wherein the at least one template includes embedded metadata selected from the group consisting of positional information, timing information, location information, scaling information and size information so that the template controls where and when a second video stream will be composited into the first video stream; creating the second video stream so that a subject of the second video stream is compatible with the outline shape of the at least one template; and using software to composite the first video stream and the second video stream in real time so that the second video stream fills the at least one template according to the metadata so that the second video stream appears to be part of the first video stream, thereby creating new video content for viewing by an end user.
