A method of generating and playing out video content comprises: receiving one or more viewer characteristics; selecting plural video clips by sampling a library of pre-generated video clips based on the characteristic(s); and generating a personalised video stream by populating a (e.g. live) scripted template with selected video clips. The library of video clips may be sampled further times during generation of the personalised video stream based on viewer feedback. In addition, a method for providing customised content comprises: receiving viewer information specific to each of plural viewers; storing a series of content elements, each a video clip or definition thereof; assigning one or more of plural content type categories to each element; defining a program schedule comprising a series of content type categories; capturing, by camera, an input video stream; and selecting, for each viewer, a series of content elements of the categories defined in the schedule, depending on viewer information; and forming an output video stream, combining input video stream with selected series of elements. Also, a video creation system for forming plural custom video feeds, combining pre-stored video elements with a primary video feed, is disclosed, using a fanout server and plural mixers.
