  • Publication number: 20230326490
    Abstract: A method for generation of a collection of video clips from a plurality of video files includes performing facial recognition on a video file of the plurality of video files to identify a portion of the video file including a face, generating a video clip by trimming the portion of the video file including the face, from the video file, and adding the video clip to the collection of video clips. A video montage may be created by adding a plurality of video clips from the collection of video clips together and adding an audio track to the video montage file.

  • Publication number: 20230273950
    Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving a set of media content items including a geohash defining a captured time and a captured location of the media content item, identifying a first subset of media content items from the set of media content items comprising a geohash that equals a precision level threshold, and identifying a second subset of media content items from the set of media content items that include a geohash that exceeds the precision level threshold. The system also includes generating a timeline media content item collection including the second subset of media content items each including a geohash that exceeds the precisions level threshold, and causing display of a media content collection interface, the media content collection interface including the timeline media content item collection.

  • Patent number: 11721367
    Abstract: A method for generation of a video montage file from a plurality of media files is disclosed. The method includes selecting media files from a collection of media files based on a selection criterion, accessing audio feature information for an audio track, the audio feature information including timing information related to audio features of the audio track, generating a first video segment for a first time slot from a first media file, generating a second video segment for a second time slot from a second media file, creating a video montage file by adding the second video segment to the first video segment, and adding the audio track to the video montage file. The selection criterion may comprise a location, a time interval, or presences of the media files in a feed posted by the user on a messaging system or social media platform.

  • Publication number: 20230204367
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for generating an avatar based on trip information. The program and method include determining that one or more criteria associated with a user correspond to a trip taken by the user during a given time interval; retrieving a plurality of media generated by a client device of the user during the given time interval; automatically selecting a plurality of avatar customizations to represent the trip based on the plurality of media generated by the user during the given time interval; automatically generating a trip-based avatar for the user based on the plurality of avatar customizations; and causing display of the trip-based avatar.

  • Publication number: 20220207804
    Abstract: The subject technology selects a plurality of augmented reality (AR) content items based at least in part on a set of attributes. The subject technology analyzes each of the selected plurality of AR content items to determine an inclusion of textual information, identify an area of interest, or detect panning motion. The subject technology modifies each of the selected plurality of AR content items based at least in part on the analyzing. The subject technology generates, using at least the modified plurality of AR content items, a composite AR content item, the composite AR content item comprising a sequence of different AR content items, each of the different AR content items corresponding to a modified AR content item from the modified plurality of AR content items. The subject technology causes display, at a client device, the generated composite AR content item.

  • Patent number: 11227637
    Abstract: A method for generation of a video montage file from a plurality of media files, for presentation on a device including a display is disclosed. The method includes accessing feature information for an audio track, the feature information including a starting feature location and subsequent time slot information related to features of the audio track, generating a first video segment for a first time slot from a first media file; generating a second video segment for a second time slot from a second media file, creating a video montage file by adding the second video segment to the first video segment; and adding the audio track to the video montage file with the starting feature location in the audio track coinciding with a start of the first video segment. The features may be beats of the audio track and the starting feature may be the starting beat.
