Systems and methods for production and delivery of live video

Abstract

Systems and methods for video production. Stream key information for a broadcast ingest server is stored with a platform account. A platform ingest server receives a video stream from a capture module of a user device, and associates the video stream with a video project of the platform account. Responsive to an instruction provided by an editing module authenticated to access the video project, the platform ingest server provides the video stream to the editing module. Responsive to a broadcast instruction, a compositing engine receives the video stream. The compositing engine generates a composite video stream that includes the video stream and data of an asset in accordance with scene information provided an editing module authenticated to access the video project. The compositing engine provides the composite video stream to the broadcast ingest server by using the stream key information.

         1 . A method comprising:
 a first capture module of a first user device determining a first hardware codec of the first user device;   the first capture model generating first encoded game display output of a first video game by using the first hardware codec;   the first capture model providing the first encoded game display output to a platform ingest server of a multi-tenant video production platform system that is external to the first user device;   the platform ingest server providing the first encoded game display output to a first editing module;   the multi-tenant video production platform system receiving first scene information from the first editing module, wherein the first scene information specifies: a first asset, positional information of the first asset, and positional information of the first encoded game display output; and   the multi-tenant video production platform system generating a first composite video stream in accordance with the received first scene information, and providing the first composite video stream to an external broadcast ingest server.
