Abstract
Disclosed is a stitcher implemented to join segments of video glue generated during a first pass of an editing engine. Preferably, the generated glue segments are implemented at the beginning and at the end of a clipped video segment. In the second processing pass, any glue segments generated in the first pass may be stitched to any un-processed portion of the clipped segment. Once any glue segments and unprocessed portions are stitched in a time ordered sequence, the stitched segment is output to a application.
