Publication number: 20140237363Abstract: Methods, graphical user interfaces, computer apparatus and computer readable medium for producing media content are disclosed. For example, a user of a computing device can utilize the methods, graphical user interfaces, computer apparatus, and computer readable medium to edit the media content. In one embodiment, the media content pertains to media tracks, such as audio or video tracks. The media content can be a plurality of individual media tracks that can be segmented and the resulting segments from different media tracks can be combined into a composite media track.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventor: Aaron Eppolito

Patent number: 8532423Abstract: Representing high-resolution media content in a lower resolution system is disclosed. For a first portion of a high-resolution media content which is associated with a content boundary that does not align with an interval boundary of the lower resolution system, a new media content file that includes at least said first portion of the high-resolution media content is created. The new media content file and a second file comprising at least a second portion of the original media content file, which second portion begins at a first interval boundary and ends at a second interval boundary of the lower resolution system, are provided to the lower resolution system.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2012Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Aaron Eppolito

Publication number: 20120170758Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-channel panning is provided. The panner can support an arbitrary number of input channels and changes to configurations to the output sound space. For example, the panner seamlessly handles changes in the number of input channels. Also, the panner supports changes to the number and positions of speakers in the output space. In one embodiment, the panner allows continuous control of attenuation and collapsing. In one embodiment, the panner keeps source channels on the periphery of the sound space when collapsing channels. In one embodiment, the panner allows control over the path by which sources collapse.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2012Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventor: Aaron Eppolito

Publication number: 20080253592Abstract: A method and apparatus for multi-channel panning is provided. Multi-channel panning allows the operator to view how a manipulated source signal will be heard by a listener at a reference point in a sound space. The panner user interface (UI) displays a separate visual element for each channel of source audio, thus the operator can see how each channel will be heard by a listener at a reference point in the sound space. Each visual element may depict the apparent point of origination of its corresponding source channel. Each visual element may depict the apparent width of origination of its corresponding source channel. Each visual element may depict the amplitude gain of its corresponding source channel. An operator can choose a mix of attenuating or collapsing behavior when panning. Moreover, the visual elements depict the relative proportions of attenuating and collapsing behavior.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2007Publication date: October 16, 2008Inventors: Christopher Sanders, Aaron Eppolito, Micheal Stern
