A system and method are disclosed for dynamically loading game software for smooth game play. A load boundary associated with a game environment is identified. A position of a character in the game environment is then monitored. Instructions corresponding to a next game environment are loaded into a memory when the character crosses the load boundary, such that game play is not interrupted.

System and method for dynamically loading game software for smooth game play

A web-based video editing system configured to edit an interactive video is provided. The web-based video editing system includes an editing system configured to receive and process one or more user interactive video editing requests, wherein the editing system is configured to process the requests by generating information indicative of a linked list; a communication device configured to: receive the generated information; examine a current state of the interactive video; and generate information indicative of the examined current state of the video; and a graphical user interface in communication with the communication device and configured to display the edited interactive video.

System and method for editing web-based video

An image editing system for use with a web-based video editing system is provided. The image editing system comprises: a detection system configured to receive image data; detect regions of the image representing faces; store the data representing the coordinates of the faces as points of interest; and receive user input adding additional points of interest, modifying the points of interest, or deleting the pre-selected points of interest; and a cropping subsystem configured to determine the portion of the image containing the maximum number of points of interest that will fit within the crop area; and crop the image.

Image editing system and method

A video downloading and scrubbing system for use with a web-based video editing system is provided. The downloading and scrubbing system includes: a scrubbing subsystem configured to: receive a user request for a portion of a video at a particular time index; create a data stream beginning containing video data relating to that time index in the video; and transmit the data; and a preview subsystem configured to provide a preview of video data to the user prior to the user completing the download of the video.

Video downloading and scrubbing system and method

A web-based video editing system includes a communication device configured to: generate information indicative of points of interest of a video, the points of interest being indicative of one or more active data or one or more inactive data during a selected time interval; determine an identity of each of the active data, and a required amount of an identified active data during the selected time interval; and request the identified active data and the required amount of each of the identified active data. The system also includes: a web server configured to: receive the requested information, assign a unique identifier to the identified active data and transmit a redirect to the communication device. The system also includes: a custom web server configured to: receive and transmit to the communication device information indicative of the unique identifiers and the required amount of each of the identified active data.

System and method for flow control in web-based video editing system

A system and method are disclosed for dynamically loading game software for smooth game play. A load boundary associated with a game environment is identified. A position of a character in the game environment is then monitored. Instructions corresponding to another game environment are loaded into a memory when the character crosses the load boundary, such that game play is not interrupted.

Providing game information via character in a game environment comprises monitoring a position of a character in the game environment, providing visual information to the user based on the position of the character in the game environment, the visual information being presented as a modification of the character, and providing audio information to the user based on the position of the character in the game environment, the audio information being presented as statements from another character. A visual information module visually provides game information to the user within the context of the game environment and an audio information module audibly provides game information to the user within the context of the game environment.
