In a distributed network, a method of recursively linking a multiply modified
multimedia asset to an original digital negative of the multimedia asset is disclosed.
The original digital negative of the multimedia asset is modified to form a first
resultant multimedia asset based upon which a first edit list is generated. The
first edit list, in turn, is associated with the first resultant multimedia asset
and linked to the original digital negative of the multimedia asset. The first
multimedia asset is then modified to form a second resultant multimedia asset based
upon which a second edit list is generated. The second edit list is associated
with the second resultant multimedia asset and linked to the first resultant multimedia asset.
