A system and method of using a computer for creating video clips of activities occurring during a performance, such as a sporting event, are provided. A computer is used for controlling a first video recorder to prepare a video recording of the performance. A database associated with the computer also is created for storing information regarding events occurring during the performance. A plurality of pre-defined events that may occur during the performance are recognized by this database. Using a mouse, keyboard or other computer input device, an operator identifies the occurrence of a pre-defined event during the performance. A corresponding signal is transmitted to the database identifying the location on the video recording where the activity corresponding to the pre-defined event is recorded. Using the computer to control a second video recorder, a series of clips, and associated data regarding the clips, are recorded from the first video recording and database onto a second video recording. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for creating video clips of activities occurring during a performance, and creating a corresponding database of information relating to the video clips.
In accordance with the invention, a first video recording of the performance is prepared.
A database associated with the computer also is prepared.
The database includes characterizations of pre-defined events describing activities that may occur during the performance.
Input indicia are assigned to each of these pre-defined events for an operator's selection of the event's occurrence during the performance.
In response to the selection of one of these input indicia, first data identifying the occurrence of the event are transmitted to the computer.
Also, in response to such selection, second data identifying the segment of the first video recording where the activity corresponding to the event is recorded also are transmitted to the computer.
The first data and the second data then are correlated in the database, and the segments from the first video recording are copied to a second video recording.
The first and second video recordings preferably are analog video tape recordings.
In an alternative embodiment, the first video recording is a digital recording and the second video recording is an analog video tape recording.
The invention also preferably includes playing the first video recording in a playback device, displaying the performance on a video monitor in response to this playing and selecting the input indicia for each of the pre-defined events during the displaying of the performance on this video monitor.
The invention also preferably includes controlling this playback device from the computer.
In a further preferred embodiment, the invention preferably includes also controlling from the computer a recorder for recording the segments from the first video recording onto the second video recording.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a system for creating video clips of activities occurring during a performance, and creating a corresponding database associated with a computer of information relating to the video clips
