Abstract
A video editing project includes multiple assets, such as animated three-dimensional geometries and streaming video clips. Assets are rendered during associated timespans in a timeline. Video clips are streamed from sources while the project is rendered, rather than in advance. Rendered video data is played in real-time during rendering. Rendering the project may further involve rendering assets in a three-dimensional space. Streaming video clip(s) may be mapped to a geometry. Effects or transformations may be applied the video clip(s) in real-time during rendering and playback. Non-destructive, non-linear editing techniques are described—edits are specified for assets without changing the assets at their sources or having to download and modify a working copy. The editor may support live editing of the project during the real-time playback. The video editor may be, for example, a web browser-based application requiring no direct software installation by the user, and streaming media from remote servers.
