A method for generating video from scratch, including retrieving template video, reading commands of predefined programming language, wherein commands include instruction corresponding to video action and time line at predefined layer of media/video element (properties) and new parameters including information from external data sources. The video action includes at least one of: drawing action, object selection, change of object properties, creating text, motion action relating at least one object, background creation, defining layer of video, animation of the object itself. The method includes generating video layers by applying the relevant actions based on commands instruction, scheduling timing and layer definitions. The actions include changing object properties drawing action, object selection, change of object properties, creating text, motion action relating at least one object, background creation, defining layer of video, animation of the object itself. The method also includes integrating video template with generated video layers, and rendering the frames to generate a video.

A technique for presenting text information to service users with enhanced visual effects so that the text information makes a strong impression on the users. A video creation server includes an acquisition section configured to acquire material data including one or both of text data and a still image, and a control section configured to acquire a script code editable by a user and to create moving-image data having the material data embedded into each frame of previously defined moving-image data such that the material data moves within the previously defined moving-image data in accordance with the script code.

An audio watermark addition method is provided, and includes: A playback terminal obtains first audio in real time, embeds an audio watermark into the first audio, where the audio watermark is associated with the playback terminal; and plays the first audio embedded with the audio watermark.

Example apparatus disclosed herein are to detect a first watermark embedded in an audio stream associated with media, the first watermark embedded and detected based on a first watermarking technique; and detect a second watermark embedded in the audio stream, the second watermark embedded and detected based on a second watermarking technique. Disclosed example apparatus are also to assign the first watermark to a first monitoring track and to a second monitoring track, the first monitoring track limited to watermarks embedded in the audio stream based on the first watermarking technique, the second monitoring track limited to watermarks embedded in the audio stream based on any of the first or second watermarking techniques; group the first and second watermarks to form a media detection event when the second watermark is assigned to the second monitoring track; and cause transmission of the media detection event to a data collection facility.
