Thanks klokwerk for watching and commenting.

Another example from Sci-Fi of video edited on demand would be TNG. There's at least a few cases where Data would sit in front of a screen and speed watch selected video. It's not directly discussed how the video in the scene got sequenced but it's guessed at like an encyclopedia entry. (also there's the scene of him listening to several musical pieces at the same time, which explains my love of noise) Collecting these clips would make a great introduction to a product concept video. Hadn't heard of 'The Final Cut', will check it out.

Glad you found a 'narrative' in the clips you previewed. Some definitely had a logical progression so that the piece people were talking about sequed so that you would be drawn into and understand the issues at the end of the chapter, or at least be introduced to what they said, everyone can draw their own conclusions. But then there's some chapter like Stormtroopers and Lightsabers which are what you were expecting, just a mass of clips which really don't go anywhere. It depended on the material, how the final application came out.

Although copyright is seen to be restrictive now, as systems which could do this video search start appearing, I think the majority of creators would rather have their creations available to the those who search, then have their works locked down temporarily or eternally.
