Abstract
A system for presenting video and methods for manipulating and delivering the video are presented. An interface may be implemented to access data related to the creation and animation of the video, a reference to the creation data stored with the video itself. Upon selection a portion of the video, using the references stored with the video, the tools needed to edit the selected portion of the video may be presented. The objects and illustration assets utilized to animate a scene may be stored in a memory device such that the objects and assets may be retrieved using a hierarchy of references initially accessed via the reference stored with the selected portion of the video. According to an embodiment, the selected portion may be a frame or a pixel and the reference stored with the frame metadata, pixel value, or image channel or image layer.
