Abstract: An immersive video experience can include a path between a plurality of keyframes selected by the filmmaker. A viewer can be given control of the view in the immersive video experience to provide the viewer freedom to look around and explore the scene. To improve user experience, after the user adjusts the perspective of the immersive video to depart from a filmmaker's defined perspective, the perspective can be returned to resume the filmmaker's defined perspective to avoid the viewer missing important parts of the immersive video. Additionally, the user experience can be improved by having the return from the user-adjusted perspective to the filmmaker's defined perspective include a visually pleasing transition that does not require further user input.
