FIELD: information technologies.
SUBSTANCE: systems and methods are disclosed to use numbers of samples for connection of samples of synchronised metadata with samples of media data or instructions. A sample of synchronised metadata may be associated with samples of media data or instructions, since the sample number contained in the sample of synchronised metadata is represented relative to the appropriate path of media data or instructions. Additionally, in scenarios with multiple samples of synchronised metadata, a sample number shift may be added to the provided sample number to get the actual sample number within the path of media data or instructions.
EFFECT: simplification of an editing operation, especially in respect of an operation of record start deletion, which may be the most frequently used function among applied editing operations.
