  • Patent number: 11380364
    Abstract: A method for determining edits of a subject video reel, comprising steps of opening an original EDL, reading every line of the original EDL, identifying event names representing each shot and identifying a source file. Each event includes at least a camera time code for the shot length, and a location time code indicating location of the shot in the source file. Locating events and picking up the in and out camera time codes from the shot names, noting shot names and camera times for shots found to have common in and out times, identifying every VFX shot and storing VFX names. Next, the software compares camera times for the shots in the first temporary file with camera times for the same shots in the second temporary file; preparing a result EDL file listing exclusively all VFX shots in which changes were found, and detailing the changes.

  • Patent number: 11380362
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for editing of spherical video data. In one example, a computing device can receive a spherical video (or a video associated with an angular field of view greater than an angular field of view associated with a display screen of the computing device), such as by a built-in spherical video capturing system or acquiring the video data from another device. The computing device can display the spherical video data. While the spherical video data is displayed, the computing device can track the movement of an object (e.g., the computing device, a user, a real or virtual object represented in the spherical video data, etc.) to change the position of the viewport into the spherical video. The computing device can generate a new video from the new positions of the viewport.

  • Patent number: 11355158
    Abstract: Video may be edited to include collaborations by users. Collaborations may be added to the video and associated with a span of the video. The span of the collaborations may be determined according to an action that is received from a user contemporaneously with the playback of the video. In some cases, the span of the collaborations may be determined automatically by analyzing the collaboration and the video frames to which the user initial added the collaborations. Analysis of the collaborations and video frame may be used to determine span criteria for the frames of the video that should be associated with the collaborations.
