A computer implemented method of event-packaging a video sequence, comprising the steps of: acquiring a video stream containing an event of interest and providing the acquired video stream to a video processing system; the video processing system extracting event information from the video stream and storing one or more event parameters within an event database; the video processing system detecting a user-defined event from the video stream; the video processing system extracting a video clip from the video stream containing the event of interest; the video processing system associating metadata representing the event parameters with the extracted video clip; and the video processing system exporting the video clip containing the event of interest and the associated metadata to an external agent.
