Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a first video file containing a first plurality of video frames; receiving a second video file containing a second plurality of video frames; processing the video files to identify at least one non-graphical temporal alignment object included in each of the video files, wherein the at least one non-graphical temporal alignment object includes one or more of a timestamp included in each of the video files and an audio alignment object included in each of the video files; temporally aligning the video files using the at least one non-graphical temporal alignment object to produce temporally-aligned video files; and combining the temporally-aligned video files to generate a consolidated output file having one or more of a higher resolution and a longer duration than each of the video files, wherein combining the video files to generate a consolidated output file includes one or more of: combining one or more of the first plurality of video frames included within the first video file and one or more of the second plurality of video frames included within the second video file to generate one or more higher resolution video frames for inclusion within the consolidated output file, and appending at least a portion of the second video file to at least a portion of the first video file to generate the consolidated output file having a longer duration than each of the video files.
