Publication number: 20240103715Abstract: In some implementations, at least a partial view of a jog wheel user interface (UI) element is displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI). The jog wheel UI element is operable to manipulate one or more secondary elements. In response to a touch input for controlling the jog wheel UI element, a rotation of the jog wheel UI element is animated concurrently with manipulation of the secondary element(s). In some embodiments, the jog wheel UI element is rotated at an initial rotational speed based on the touch input, continues rotating after cessation of the touch input, and is reduced until it reaches zero. In one embodiment, a distance between the contact of the touch input and the jog wheel UI element is used to determine a degree of rotation of jog wheel UI element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Fleischhauer, David Karp, Itrat U Khan, Kenneth C Meehan

Patent number: 10990250Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a GUI for a media editing application that provides visual cues (e.g., colors and/or lane sets) for media clips that are assigned different tags (or roles) in a media presentation. The GUI of the media application of some embodiments displays media clips of a composite media presentation, in which at least some of the media clips are associated with tags. The GUI also provides GUI controls for associating media clips associated with different tags with different colors and for displaying the media clips based on the clips' associated color. In some embodiments, the GUI includes a tool for arranging clips into groups based on assigned tags. The tool of some embodiments, upon selection, defines a set of lanes for each tag and displays any anchored clip that is associated with a tag in the set of lanes associated with the tag.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Colleen Pendergast, Brian E. Meaney, David E. Conry, David N. Chen, Itrat U. Khan, Jack S. Yi, Jacqueline Chang, Jeffery Morse, Jordan P. McCommons, Joshua C. Hoover, Ken Matsuda, Nils Angquist, Stephen A. Bayes, William J.

Patent number: 9792955Abstract: Some embodiments provide a media-editing application. The application receives a selection of several media clips for creating a multi-camera media clip. Based on metadata stored with the media clips that identifies sources of the media clips, the application automatically assigns the clips to at least two different groups in the multi-camera media clip. For each group of the multi-camera media clip, the application automatically orders the assigned clips along a timeline using timing data. The application uses the timing data to automatically initially synchronize the different groups of the multi-camera media clip. The application automatically adjusts the initial synchronization of the groups by comparing audio data of media clips assigned to different groups.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Michael Fleischhauer, Ken Matsuda, Brian Meaney, Colleen Pendergast, Giovanni Agnoli

Patent number: 9111579Abstract: Some embodiments provide a media-editing application. The application displays a trackless composite display area for creating a composite presentation from several different media clips. The composite presentation includes a multi-camera media clip that includes one of several different groups of ordered media clips. Upon receiving a selection to edit the multi-camera media clip in the composite presentation, the application displays each of the different groups of ordered media clips as separate tracks in the composite display area.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Brian Meaney, Colleen Pendergast, Ken Matsuda, Giovanni Agnoli, Itrat U.

Patent number: 8875025Abstract: A media-editing application of some embodiments allows a user of the application to group media clips displayed in the timeline into a single clip representation. A composite display area of the media-editing application often displays numerous clips at various instances in time and at various levels in the compositing hierarchy. To reduce the number of media clips in the timeline, the media-editing application of some embodiments allows the user to select several media clips and combine them into a one media clip representation. In this manner, the media-editing application reduces the congestion in the timeline. These single clip representations are referred to as “compound clips.” Compound clips can be viewed as containers that can include several media clips of the same type in some embodiments, or that can include several media clips of several different types in other embodiments.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Ken Matsuda, Giovanni Agnoli, Colleen Pendergast, Dave Cerf, Itrat U.
