Abstract: System and methods are disclosed that improve the speed, efficiency and usefulness of digital video recording systems. In some embodiments, during recording of a video capturing live action, a video recorder receives an indication of selection of a dynamic in-point selection user interface element. The video recorder determines an in-point for the video based on when the indication of the selection of the dynamic in-point selection user interface element was received. The video recorder then stops recording of the video in response to user input indicating to stop recording of the video. After stopping recording of the video, in response to user input indicating to start playing the video that was recorded, the video recorder starts playing the video from the in-point instead of a beginning of the video.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for facilitating video creation by recommending next steps in a user interface for video creation. A video production system tracks the state of a video as a user makes changes to the video. As the user develops the video, the system predicts the next step in the video generation process and makes recommendations to the user based on this prediction. The system will recommend an asset type to add to the video and also suggest specific instances of the asset type to add to the video. The video production system leverages a number of prediction models. The models include a deep learning model that is trained on a large corpus of video material to predict a next step of a video based on a current state. The system greatly shortens the time needed for the production of digital video by recommending video assets automatically to the user.
