Abstract

A system for simultaneously creating a plurality of individually customized video product from a plurality of video segments uses a central computer and one or more workstations to control the operation of a video file server and video recorders connected thereto. The video file server is adapted to simultaneously output the same or different stored video segments on a plurality of video output channels. Each channel is connected to a respective video recorder. An operator at the workstation enters selection choices into a workstation. The central computer uses the selection choices to select and order a subset of video segments prestored on the video file server. Each selected video segment is directly related to a selection choice. Under control of the central computer, the selected and ordered subset of video segments are output from the video file server to a designated video recorder to make the customized video product. The central computer simultaneously controls the state of the video recorders in coordination with the video file server.
