  • Systems and methods for embedding content into videos
    Patent number: 10841603
    Abstract: Video information, visual information, and rendering instructions may be obtained. The video information may define spherical video content having a progress length. The spherical video content may define visual content viewable from a point of view as a function of progress through the spherical video content. The visual information may define additional visual content to be presented with the spherical video content. The rendering instructions may define how the additional visual content is to be presented with the spherical video content during playback. Container information defining a container file may be generated. The container information may include the video information, the visual information, and the rendering instructions within a structure corresponding to a type of the container file. A playback of the spherical video content using the container file may include a presentation of the additional visual content with the spherical video content based on the rendering instructions.
