1. A method comprising: receiving, via the first computing device, a plurality of acquisition files, wherein each respective acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files is received from a respective one media device of a plurality of media devices; creating, via the first computing device, for each respective acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files, a respective normalized media object of a plurality of normalized media objects, the respective normalized media object comprising a reference to a respective acquisition file and respective first metadata, the respective first metadata relating to respective properties of the respective acquisition file; creating, via the first computing device, at least one universal media object, the at least one universal media object comprising a reference to at least one normalized media object of the plurality of normalized media objects and respective second metadata relating to respective first editorial adjustments to the respective universal media object performed via the first computing device; and storing, via the first computing device, each respective acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files, the plurality of normalized media objects and the at least one universal media object to a database; receiving, via a second computing device, respective second editorial adjustments to the at least one universal media object; updating, via the second computing device, the at least one universal media object to reflect the respective first editorial adjustments and the respective second editorial adjustments; matching, via the first computing device, a first one acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files and a second one acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files, wherein the first one acquisition file is of a data type picture, the second one acquisition file is of a data type sound and a first time code associated with the first one acquisition file matches a second time code associated with the second one acquisition file; and in response to matching the first one acquisition file and the second one acquisition file, synchronizing, via the first computing device, the first one acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files and the second one acquisition file of the plurality of acquisition files, wherein the at least one universal media object is created to comprise reference to the first one acquisition file and the second one acquisition file and third metadata comprising synchronization data.
