摘要： A multimedia dashboard application runs on a computing device that is in networked communication with a seller's inventory database and is also in operative communication with the seller's distribution server. The multimedia dashboard application includes an item selector, recording modules, multimedia editors, and a distribution controller. Without adding or opening another application, the multimedia dashboard application records multimedia segments, selects segments to be uploaded to and downloaded from the inventory database, and edits the segments to produce multimedia promotions. The multimedia dashboard application also controls distribution of the promotions. The multimedia dashboard application can add closed-captioning, voiceover tracks, and background effects to the promotions. The multimedia dashboard application can use a video around a product to produce 360° views of the product and can combine a group of photos into a stitched video. The system can be used collaboratively with multiple sales representative sharing multimedia segments through the inventory database.
