Abstract
A system and method for recording video that combines video capture, touch-screen and voice-control technologies into an integrated system that produces cleanly edited, short-duration, compliant video files that exactly capture a moment after it has actually occurred The present invention maintains the device in a ready state that is always ready to capture video up to N seconds or minutes in the past (where N depends on available system memory). This enables the user to run the system indefinitely without having to worry about running out of storage. Touch gestures and voice commands actually initiate captures without having to actually monitor the system itself thereby allowing for complete focus on the live action itself. When the user sees something happen, he or she can use an appropriate voice or touch command to cause the system to create a video media file based on time points derived from the user's commands.
