  • Patent number: 12136445
    Abstract: Methods, systems and software products for video editing systems are disclosed herein. The software product includes a computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processors, cause the processor to display a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the graphical user interface including first and second spaced apart timelines, and responsive to detecting a user interaction with one of the timelines, apply a corresponding interaction to the other timeline.

  • Patent number: 12114110
    Abstract: Processing raw image data in a camera includes computing a luminance image from the raw image data, and computing a chrominance image corresponding to at least one of the sensor's image colors from the raw image data. The luminance image and chrominance image(s) can represent the same range of colors able to be represented in the raw image data. The chrominance image can have a lower resolution than that of the luminance image. A camera for performing the method is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12047693
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a filter array and to a method for processing image data in a camera. The camera is configured to receive light and generate image data using an image sensor having an associated filter array. The image sensor includes an array of pixels, each of which corresponds to a filter element in the filter array, so that each pixel has a spectral response at least partly defined by a corresponding filter element. The filter array includes a pattern of wideband filter elements and at least two types of narrowband filter elements. The method includes the step of generating a luminance image comprising a wideband filter element value that is calculated for each pixel of the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 11942117
    Abstract: A software product includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to display a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the user interface including a media bin displaying one or more media elements imported into the video editing system; a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the media elements; a timeline; and a concatenator element; and responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element, concatenates the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loads the single media element into the viewing window.

  • Patent number: 11765366
    Abstract: Methods, software products, digital cameras and other image processing systems process a set of transform coefficients. In at least one embodiment, the method comprises, for each block of transform coefficients representing an image: ordering the block's coefficients into a sequence; encoding the ordered coefficients to yield a sequence of codewords, each codeword including one or more encoded coefficients; and dividing the sequence of codewords into two or more sub-sequences.

  • Patent number: 11721365
    Abstract: A software product includes a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, displays a graphical user interface for a video editing system, the graphical user interface including: a media bin displaying a plurality of media elements imported into the video editing system; a viewing window for viewing a selected one of the media elements; a timeline; a concatenator element; and a focus element; responsive to a user actuating the concatenator element, concatenates the media elements present in the media bin together into a single media element and loading the single media element into the viewing window; and responsive to a user actuating said focus element, modifies the single media element to form a focused single media element that concatenates only those media elements present in the media bin with related metadata and loading the focused single media element into the viewing window.
