Abstract
Apparatus and devices are described for generating clips by executing one or more tasks contained in a recipe. The recipe can be received at a server, such as a content server, perhaps as part of a clip request. The server can generate a clip by parsing the recipe. Parsing the recipe can include determining whether a given task of the one or more tasks is a data-source task and, in response to determining that the given task is a data-source task, extracting one or more slices of data from a data source specified in the data-source task and adding the one or more slices to the clip. The data source can include a video data source or a combined video and audio data source. Once generated, the clip can be sent from the server.
