Abstract
A virtualized production switcher for media production is provided that includes a script database that stores predefined macros that each define a script for applying media production functions to media content, and a script optimizer that selects a subset of the predefined macros to be presented on a user interface as suggested scripts for each of a plurality of scenes of a media stream. Moreover, a program generator receives a user input via the user interface that selects one of the predefined macros and applies the corresponding script to a selected scene of the media stream for a media production by applying the at least one media production function to the selected scene based on an identified key-frame thereof. A script profiler identifies metadata related to the selected scene and updates the script database to store a correspondence between the selected scene and the selected predefined macro.
