1. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to:
obtain, over a network, a plurality of digital media editing themes from a plurality of remote data sources, each digital media editing theme of the plurality of digital media editing themes having a respective native format, each digital media editing theme of the plurality of digital media editing themes having a plurality of theme-based effects;
convert each digital media editing theme of the plurality of digital media editing themes from their respective native format into a common format that is common across a theme-based effects library datastore;
store each converted digital media editing theme of the plurality of converted digital media editing themes in the theme-based effects library datastore in the common format;
receive, over the network from a particular content editor client of a plurality of content editor clients, foundational digital media content comprising a plurality of content layers and a computer-implemented request to apply a particular converted digital media editing theme of the plurality of converted digital medial editing themes to the foundational digital media content, wherein the plurality of content layers of the foundational digital media content comprises a graphical content layer, a video content layer, a soundtrack content layer, and an audio recording content layer, and the plurality of theme-based effects of the particular converted digital media editing theme include a visual overlay and a text-based overlay;
split a first content layer of the plurality of content layers into a second content layer and a third content layer;
obtain the particular converted digital media editing theme from the theme-based effects library datastore;
adjust an effect timeline of each theme-based effect of the particular converted digital media editing theme to align a plurality of cues of the effect timeline with a plurality of cues of a content timeline associated with the foundational digital media content, the plurality of cues of the content timeline comprising a beginning of a portion of the content, an end of a portion of the content, a position of a transition between different portions of the content, and a timestamp on the content timeline associated with metadata;
apply, subsequent to the adjustment, the particular converted digital media editing theme to the second content layer of the foundational digital media content;
apply, in response to instructions received from a user, the particular converted digital media editing theme to a lower definition version of the foundational digital media content for user preview by the user while the foundational media content is being actively edited during a same editing session, and then apply the particular converted digital media editing theme to a higher definition version of the foundational digital media content in response to conclusion of the user preview and conclusion of the editing of the foundational digital media content.
