Abstract

A method and system for annotating playable media files is provided. A virtual clip is associated with first and second locations in the playable media file. The first and second locations together define a clip of the playable media file occurring between the first and second locations. The clip is displayed on a computing device of a user and a first user input associated with the virtual clip is received. The first user input is determined to conform to a predetermined format defining taxonomy tags. One or more taxonomy tags are identified from the user input and the virtual clip is associated, in an account of the user, with each of the one or more taxonomy tags identified from the user input.
