Abstract: Systems and algorithms for inserting transitions (wipes and fades) into segments of recorded video are described. Automatic insertion of transitions into video makes video more beautiful and interesting, and also eliminates the need for user intervention, saving the user time. Additionally described are custom/proprietary wipe and fade effects (transitions) that are inserted. These effects include but are not limited to the categories: Through solid color or image, Bring back previous User Footage, Sequence of Images Overlay, Random Images Overlay, Mirroring User Footage, Reversing User Footage, Current Location Integration, and Blurring User Footage. Any combination of one or all of these categories of transition can be used simultaneously and combined to achieve the desired final transition that is applied to user footage. Insertion of these effects into video is based on random and temporal algorithms.
